WHY STUDY THE AEP PROGRAM?
As well as offering you direct entry to the USFP, there are many benefits to studying the AEP. These include:
The perfect learning environment
Whether you study online or face-to-face, throughout your studies you will be an active language learner. Everyone you meet during your course will be using English, helping you build confidence to engage in your second language with your peers and teachers. Additionally, you will be studying the AEP in the same place as your USFP, which will allow you optimal time to get used to your environment.
A supportive community
We want to help you meet your full potential. In order to do so, we ensure that learning material and practices on the AEP meet the needs of all students. We are also mindful of our younger students, and will take into account your age and maturity level when setting learning targets.
An accessible gateway to your studies
The AEP provides an adaptable route to your future education. If you don’t meet the required level of English by the end of the time stated in your offer, you can extend your AEP. Plus, once you have successfully passed the AEP, you won’t need an IELTS score to get a place on one of our academic programs, meaning less entry exams and less stress when it comes to progressing to the USFP.
