ELE Courses

A range of Academic English courses for students who wish to improve their English prior to starting a postgraduate programme at the University of Edinburgh.

A programme that runs throughout the academic year, from September to June, aimed at improving English language before starting a degree course in the UK.

Free, non-credit bearing courses available for undergraduate and postgraduate students at the University of Edinburgh, whose first language is not English.

Information about one-to-one academic writing tutorials for all postgraduate students (PGT and PGR).

Our credit-bearing academic English courses for visiting students will support you on your degree programme at the University of Edinburgh.

English Language Support for ODL Students

A decision has been taken to withdraw the Test of English at Matriculation (TEAM), for all students, except Visiting Students, from September 2019.

These courses are not currently offered as open courses. However, we are open to requests for tailored course for closed groups. The links below give an indication of possible content.

ELE can design tailor-made courses for schools, university departments, government agencies and other professional organisations.

We have a pre-sessional academic language course designed to help international postgraduate online learning students prepare for their programme of study.
