About this course

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) course is designed to prepare international students, from a range of backgrounds and nationalities, to undertake tertiary study in Australia. Students enrolled for this course will have as their specific study objective the completion of a tertiary level course in an Australian tertiary institution.

The focus of this EAP course is developing the skills areas in English, which the student will require to study alongside native speakers in tertiary courses. However, students entering the EAP course at the lower level will not necessarily have access to the language base, which makes the use of these skills a possibility. For this reason the balance of the EAP course will move systematically from a language focus to a skills focus as the student progresses through the levels from EAP Level 1 to EAP Level 2.

Entry requirements

Education level requirementsThere are no specific educational pre-requisites for entry into this course, as entry into this level is based on assessment of English language proficiency. However, it is anticipated that a majority of students will have completed Year 10 or equivalent.
English language requirements

Students entering this course will require a level of English which allows them to access sufficient language to understand and attempt the types of texts and tasks required for an EAP course. In order to be placed in this course, students will be required to either:

* achieve a satisfactory result in an ELICOS placement test OR

* demonstrate their level of English by providing evidence from international testing performance

A student who reaches the requisite level in the ELICOS placement test or arrives with documentary evidence of an acceptable score in an international language test may be transferred into the EAP course on arrival. The acceptable level in international tests required for entry to the courses is outlined below:

* IELTS Band 5.0 with no band < 4.5 => EAP Level 1

* IELTS Band 5.5 with no band < 5.0 => EAP Level 2
