Description
We offer competitively-priced general and academic English study programmes, including a Summer English Study Programme with full social programme, an International Foundation Year which attracts over 250 students a year and tailor-made provision for specific groups such as non-native English speaking academics. The School also provides the EFL teaching on the Graduate Diploma of Management and English run by Salford Business School. The EFL teaching is provided by lecturers with considerable experience of teaching in Britain and abroad and is accredited by the British Council so you can be sure of a high quality programme. In addition to preparatory and access programmes we also offer EFL on many of our undergraduate modern foreign language programmes and a range of masters programmes in TESOL and Applied Linguistics. Academic research is another important area of activity in EFL where staff have specialist research interests in second-language acquisition and computer-assisted language learning and supervise doctoral research. The School also has a long and proud tradition of academic excellence and in the last two research assessment exercises languages and linguistics submissions scored a top grade of 5.

The Summer English Study Programme (SESP) is a full-time pre-sessional English language course for international students, which runs for 11 weeks over the summer. It is designed to improve your skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking and to develop your grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. The programme is aimed at students who intend to progress onto university programmes at Foundation, Undergraduate or Postgraduate level.
The SESP will give you experience of studying at a university in the UK, it will also help you to settle into a different culture and a different language before you start an academic programme at the University of Salford or at any other university in the UK. The programme even includes organised trips and social events to help you make the most of your free-time.
If you successfully complete the Summer English Study Programme at a high enough level the University of Salford will accept this as evidence of your English language ability .
