Presessional English courses for international students

The University's Birmingham International Academy runs Presessional English courses  for students who wish to improve their knowledge of spoken and written English in preparation for academic study at the University of Birmingham. Students with conditional offers have the option of attending one of these courses instead of retaking IELTS.

We welcome candidates with a range of overseas qualifications. See our international requirements for undergraduate entry and for postgraduate entry to find out more.
