English Language Requirements

A good knowledge of the English language is essential as nearly all courses are taught in English.

Candidates who are not competent in the English language will need to attend a Foundation Course in English Language before starting their course. There are foundation courses of different lengths and levels, depending on the student's knowledge of the English language. Foundation courses commence at the beginning of the summer vacations (Summer English Intensive Course) as well as at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters.
