Students during a break from their classAbout the course

This intensive IELTS preparation course is designed for students of intermediate to upper-intermediate level (IELTS 4.5-5.0, TOEFL 475-500 / 153-173) who need to improve their score to qualify for undergraduate admission to a university degree programme in the UK.

In addition to improving performance on the test, the course is designed to improve academic listening, reading, speaking and writing skills in preparation for life at university. We will be using the recently-published course book Achieve IELTS co-authored by Caroline Cushen. Caroline is Course Director for Buckingham's IELTS preparation course, and also teaches on the course. A copy of the book is included in the course fee.

This course is also suitable for students who would like to take a 6-month Foundation English programme, as it can be followed by further study on the one-term pre-sessional course in the Autumn Term.

All teaching staff in the Department are highly qualified and experienced in delivering courses of English for Academic Purposes.

We will help you to book your IELTS test, but please note that the test fees are not included. Transport to the testing centre will be provided on the day of the test.
