International Academy Courses

The International Academy offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses as well as English language and tailor-made programmes. The faster you learn, the shorter the course may be for you. For example, you can study a four-year degree course if you hold an IELTS score of 5.0, or a three-year degree if your English language skills improve quickly. 

If you are a graduate or a three-year Higher Education Diploma holder, you can study a Graduate Diploma and on successful completion of this course with the appropriate grade, you may take up a place on a Masters degree in a variety of subjects from linguistics to computer science. The International Academy also offers a Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma and Masters degree in teacher training which can be studied full time (one year), part time (two years) or by modular study (up to six years).
