Overview

  • UniSQ offers English language courses for students from non-English speaking backgrounds. English for Academic Purposes (EAP) will prepare you to study a degree at UniSQ. You can study EAP for future study, career, or personal reasons.
  • EAP is tuition free for Australian citizens and permanent residents; however this English course for international students incurs a fee.
  • As an English for Academic Purposes student, you can access great teaching and support in a friendly caring environment. Learn how to develop your language skills and gain the confidence you need to succeed at university.
  • Our English for Academic Purposes course includes three levels and each level takes 10 weeks to complete. To start your studies in EAP you will need an IELTS result of at least 4.5 in the four macro skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) or an equivalent recognised international English test. If you have not completed an IELTS test, you will need to complete a comprehensive set of tests that will help us ensure you start your studies at the best level for you.

Further study

English for Academic Purposes aims to prepare you for entry to university. When you successfully complete the second level of EAP, you can go on to study an undergraduate or postgraduate degree at UniSQ provided that you also meet all other entry requirements of that degree. If you don't meet the academic entry requirements of your chosen degree, you can apply for UniReady.

Our English for Academic Purposes course is endorsed by the National ELT Accreditation Scheme (NEAS).
