English for visiting and exchange students

Are you a visiting or exchange student? Do you use English as an additional language? If so, you can enrol on one of our specialised units designed to enhance your English language proficiency.

Our Academic Success Credit Courses are credit-bearing academic English courses for exchange and visiting students who use English as an additional language.

In Semester 1, we will be running:

• English for Academic Purposes which helps students develop the skills required to participate and complete assessments in most university modules.  

In Semester 2, we will be running:

• Advanced English Language in Use which helps students develop English language skills by engaging with media and literature.

Our Academic Success Credit Courses cater for IELTS levels (or equivalent) of 6.5 and 7.0. Please contact academicsuccess@manchester.ac.uk if you are unable to provide proof of your language level.

You can also take advantage of our Open Learning Centre for Languages and Academic English (OLCLAE) during your course, which offers a range of self-study resources.
