Those students who do not meet their English language entry requirements in their application may be offered one of two options:

  • If your English language test score narrowly misses the Regal International College minimum you may still be offered a place on your course provided that you attend our five week Pre-sessional English language course before the start of term;
  • If your English needs a lot more work to be brought up to a suitable level, you may be offered a place on the Foundation Certificate in English for Academic Purposes course. This course lasts 5 or 9 months (depending on your entry level) and successful completion of the course will automatically entitle you to begin your chosen course of study at Regal International College in the following academic year.


Pre-sessional English language courses


For students who have firmly accepted an offer of a place at Regal International College but narrowly miss the minimum English Language requirements, the University offers a five Pre-sessional English language course before they begin their academic studies. These courses provide a firm foundation for study at Regal International College and enable students to gain confidence in English for all aspects of conversation and study.
