We offer international students additional subject-specific support.
You can attend workshops, lectures and modules in your subject, focusing on the language and communication skills needed to succeed on your degree programmes at Reading.
You will work closely with our subject-specific language and literacy experts.
Our language specialists will design each course around the types of reading, writing and communication you will use on your degree. You will develop the skills and confidence you need to succeed in your academic studies, including:
- understanding the language used in your subject
- organising different types of academic writing
- reading academic texts effectively and then using them in your own writing
- communicating your ideas clearly in speaking and writing
- using academic English confidently in your degree.
These studies are sometimes referred to as preparatory learning because they do not include assessment or credit.
We currently work with more than 30 student groups across campus, from first-year undergraduates to postgraduate research students.
