The English Proficiency Programme (EPP) is an English Academic Preparation (EAP) course for students of an intermediate level or above (4.0 IELTS). You will be tested on the first day of the programme. If your English language ability is assessed to be lower than the appropriate level for the EPP, you will be offered a place in the Preparation English Proficiency Programme (PREPP). This is a newly developed programme that targets filling the gaps in your vocabulary and grammar knowledge to allow you to move on with confidence to the next level of academic English study.
