English Language Bridging
The English Language Bridging (ELB) course prepares you for academic study at the undergraduate, postgraduate, or diploma level at university. Students can study ELB as a pathway to Curtin University.
Your English language proficiency will continue to develop as you study on ELB, but you will also develop new academic literacies and other skills that will prepare you for success in your university or college studies. Plus, you’ll get an early introduction to studying at Curtin by learning with the same tools and resources you will use in your undergraduate or postgraduate studies.
The ELB course is for students with IELTS scores of 5.5 or higher who need to meet entry requirements for Curtin University or Curtin College programs that require an IELTS score* of 6.0 and above.
*or its equivalent on other recognised tests such as PTE or TOEFL
