Applying to the Coventry University? Boost your English skills and language confidence with our pre-sessional courses delivered by our friendly and qualified English Language Schools. Choose a length to suit your language needs and start your studies with success.
Our Online Pre-Sessional English (OPSE) and Online Pre-Sessional English Intensive courses aim to improve your Academic English language level to the standard you require for your chosen degree programme. You can study an online only course for 6, 12 or 16 weeks or an intensive course over 6 and 12 weeks. The length of the course is designed to match with your current English language level – and help take you to the next step.
Students entering the course lower than the entry requirements may need to complete additional 1:1 tutorials. These take place over 6 weeks, 3 times a week, for one hour with a personal tutor. This study supplements the BPSE course and is designed to give additional support to students. You will be notified of this on application.

We have partnered with Coventry University to ensure you can reach the English level required before starting your chosen course. Our pre-sessional English course will improve your English language level and prepare for future academic study.
Upon completion of your pre-sessional English course you will be able to take the next step in your education and start studying.
If after taking IELTS or the English Language Level Test you score below the entry criteria for your chosen course, a member of our Admissions Team will advise you to enrol on a 6-week or 12-week Pre-Sessional English course. This will allow you to improve your English language skills and better prepare you to begin your academic studies at a higher education institution.
The length of the Pre-Sessional course recommended by our Admissions Team acts only as a suggestion. You are free to take whichever course you feel most comfortable, meaning that you could enrol on the 12-week Pre-Sessional English course despite being advised to take the 6-week course.
Our Pre-Sessional English courses provide students with all the tools they need to achieve their English language goals. Our fully online classes are based on our successful classroom model. Students attend bite-sized, easy to follow teacher-led sessions, supplemented by self-study and engaging assignments that enable you to fully immerse yourself in the learning experience.
As our student, you are assigned to a class with a maximum of 12 students and a dedicated teacher. The class teacher assesses all your work and is available to offer support to you outside the live online lessons. Each 6-weeks of study aims to improve your IELTS score by 0.5, with the goal to reach the entry-level IELTS 6.0 or higher.

You will receive a welcome letter telling you we have received your application. Closer to your course start date, you will be sent a welcome pack containing details of your course, class times, assessment criteria and clear technical instructions for joining your class.
The course has three key components: Live lessons with a qualified English language teacher. Extended study which is an opportunity to work with your classmates on homework or collaborative tasks in a virtual environment. You will also need to spend some time studying independently and preparing for your lessons.
You will need to download Zoom and Teams. You will also get access to Oxford International online platforms with additional learning resources.
You will have a live lesson every day from Monday to Friday – depending on the task the lesson will be 90 or 120 minutes. However, you will be assigned additional tasks and study projects so you will also need to spend about 2 hours per day on extended study and self-study. The face-to-face teaching weekends consist of six hours per day in 4 x 90 mins sessions each day.
There will be a marked assignment every week. There will also be final assessment at the end of the course. For 12 and 16 week courses regular progress tests are conducted to monitor student progress.
We will confirm venues nearer the start of your course. We partner with local conference spaces to provide modern and light teaching space in the city centre.
