Course Summary:
On arrival, students are tested and a specific study programme is created for them taking into account their level of English, their aim for the term of the programme and the length of time they are here to study. Students can commence any one of the above programmes at any time of year and we can integrate preparation for any of the Cambridge Examinations (IELTS / PET / FCE/CAE) into any of the terms, provided the student has the appropriate level of English on entry. There are opportunities to take either of these examination in December, March or June at University College Cork, our local testing centre. (The above costs do not include examination fees)
