English language support

Whilst we do require all non-native English speakers to meet our standard entry requirements, we are keen to support students whose first language is not English.

We strongly encourage all non-native English speakers to undertake our free English Language Proficiency test on arrival. This test enables students to identify the areas of English language in which they would benefit most from additional support and to take advantage of the corresponding non-credit, in-sessional language support courses at no cost.

• More information about our in-sessional courses

We have also recently developed a range of credit-bearing courses for non-native English speakers that may be of interest:

• Manchester Life and Language: British Cultural Ethnography for Non-Native English Speakers
• British Language and Culture through the News Media
• British Language and Culture through Film
• English Language in Use
• Creative Writing for Non-Native Speakers of English
