English Language Proficiency
Our English Language Proficiency short courses enable you to improve your English for university study or personal development.
You will develop all your language skills, including pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar, and have the opportunity to develop skills for IELTS.
Classes are small and the teachers are highly qualified and experienced teachers of English.
Academic English is introduced for those students wanting to pathway into further study. You can pathway directly from English Language Proficiency to our Direct Entry English and Foundation programmes, or sit IELTS to gain admission to your degree.
On arrival you will be placed in the course at the right level for you, and your progress will be assessed and monitored regularly to make sure you are meeting your learning goals.
You will study on campus as a Massey University student so you can take advantage of all of the clubs, services and facilities that the university has to offer.
We look forward to welcoming you as a student of Massey University.
