English Language Support for International Students

All students are expected to have reached a certain standard in English before beginning to study at Robert Gordon University. We do understand, however, that some students may need additional help with certain language skills.

 Free English language for International Students is offered throughout the year.

 

Classes

Classes are held on a regular basis at different campuses, or you could attend individual tutorials. The courses are linked as much as possible to the student's own field of study. Particular emphasis is placed on the skills necessary to write academic texts and cope with authentic, spoken English in an academic context.

Year round one-to-one support

International students already enrolled at the University can make individual appointments to see the language tutor for further help with specific areas of their English language skills. E-mail tutoring is also available.

Please note that we are not currently able to provide a proof-reading service for dissertations and theses.

 

English Language Pre-Sessional Programmes

If you do not have the required level of English to start your degree course, you may wish to complete an intensive course of English language to increase your level. The University can arrange an appropriate English language course in Aberdeen, through the Pre-sessional Programme.
