How long will I need to study English to reach the required level?
Overseas students who come to British universities have been studying English for a long time. You will not have time to improve your English once you start your course, so you should aim for as high a standard as possible in your English before you apply. Any overseas student should also consider taking a Bridge to Academic Study Programme course at an English language school in Britain. The courses will improve your English, and teach you the academic skills you need to survive and succeed in a British university.
