Programme Overview
The Pre-Sessional English for Creative Disciplines course is designed for international students who have an offer to study at the GSA, but who need to improve their English to the level required by their chosen undergraduate or postgraduate programme.
This intensive course focuses on the language and study skills you need to study a creative subject. Instead of exam preparation or vocabulary practice, you will practise English through creative tasks, projects, and assessments that reflect the way we teach at The Glasgow School of Art. This approach helps you to improve your English and also to prepare for your main programme at the GSA.
This course will help you to:
- Develop your academic English in practical situations
- Understand how creative disciplines work at GSA
- Increase your confidence as a creative practitioner
- Build skills that support lifelong language learning
We offer three courses – 14 weeks, 10 weeks, and 5 weeks – depending on your language level, and you can choose to study online or on campus. Please note that the first four weeks of the 14-week course is offered online only.
If you have an unconditional offer, you can join the course as an extended induction programme.
