University of Portsmouth
Pre-sessional English Programme
Available now at Westminster School of English, Thailand
Westminster School of English is a trusted partner institution of the University of Portsmouth. Westminster delivers teaching courses on behalf of the University of Portsmouth in Thailand and is currently offering a summer 2022 pre-sessional course. Due to the COVID-19 situation, many UK universities are unable to run their pre-sessional programmes in the UK. However, this pre-sessional English programme in Thailand will enable students to meet the conditions set by the University and therefore begin their degree programme in September 2022 and Janaury 2023. Importantly, the University of Portsmouth is allowing students planning to study in other universities to use this course as a pathway into other universities, and other UK universities are accepting successful completion of this course as entry into their own degree programmes.
