%ateway Acade&y Pre'#essi!nal C!"rses
Our pre-sessional courses are ideal for students who have a conditional place at a British
university, but who need to achieve a certain level of English in order to be accepted. The course
aims to provide students with the English language and study skills that they need in order to be
successful at university or another academic establishment. It is important to note that
completion of the course does not guarantee students entrance into a university. It is necessary
for students to show during the course that they have understood the information and skills that
they have been taught, and can incorporate it into their work.
