Please click here to view the other available English language courses.
The Foundation English Studies programme at IMI is designed principally for students who wish or require improving their professional academic English skills as a bridge to reach the necessary standard to begin their studies at IMI. Requirements for Admission 17 years of age High school certificate or equivalent English proficiency: Beginners level or A1 (Common European Framework Level) in at least one of the following: grammar, speaking, writing or reading Programme objectives and content: This 6 months intensive course is in 3 parts: 12 weeks foundation English studies which focus primarily on conversation and vocabulary. Students who pass the FES examination after 12 weeks of study will receive a certificate awarded by IMI and a statement of results. Successful students will automatically progress to the 8 week University English Preparatory Course (UEPC) and finally, the 4 week Intensive English Course. The classes comprise 20-25 hours of tutor contact per week from Monday to Friday. Excursions and activities may be available as appropriate and necessary. Small group sizes (equivalent to semi-private tuition) ensure individual attention and facilitate student identification of their strengths and weaknesses. Standard school regulations on attendance, professional dress and behaviour apply to all students studying on the pre-session English courses (FESC, UEPC and IEC). These regulations are explained to students during induction on the first day of the respective programmes and are supported by the student handbook.
