Please note - English Language Requirements may be subject to change.
English Language Courses
The English Language Center (ELC) of FUE has over 10 years of experience running English language courses to support and improve students’ English Language proficiency.
- Students admitted to the university will go through the following steps:
- First, you will sit a Placement test to determine your English language ability level
- Second, you will be registered to one of the English language support options provided by the English Language Center.
- Third, upon successfully completing the assigned English courses, you will sit an international exam then graduate with internationally recognised language qualifications
Entry Requirement (Cambridge Placement Test)
All the new students applying to FUE take a placement test to determine their level of English proficiency. Based on test scores, students are placed in the right English course to ensure they get the most of their studies.
The placement test consists of three stages. The first stage is a writing task where students write a short essay, letter or an email about a familiar topic. The second stage is the on-line Cambridge English Placement Test (CEPT) and the final stage is a speaking task that is only required in case there is a discrepancy between the writing level and the online test level.
The on-line Cambridge University test is taken at the university. The test is an adaptive one, which means the questions you are shown are chosen according to the level of your answers to earlier questions. You have thirty minutes to do the test. There is no set number of questions for you to answer but you must answer enough questions for your English language level to be assessed. The on-line test begins with an assessment of reading skills and this is followed by various tasks to test your use of written English, followed by listening tasks.
Exit Requirement (IELTS – International English Language Testing System)
The IELTS certificate is an exit requirement for FUE graduates. FUE aims for its graduates to attain an internationally recognized certificate showing the level they have attained in English. The IELTS certificate is recognized around the world for immigration, study, and work purposes. It will be valid proof that FUE graduates can communicate in English in practical situations which will give them a good foundation to develop their career.
