If a student already has IELTS 5.0 (or if they can achieve IELTS 5.0 before the end of June) and they then successfully complete* the 8week Pre-IFP course at Cardiff University, they can automatically progress to the Foundation course in September 2011 without taking the IELTS examination again. * successful completion means that students must have minimum attendance of 90%, successfully complete all assignments and tests on the course and have a positive attitude to learning. Students holding unconditional offers Students who already have unconditional offers are welcome to study on the Pre-IFP course. Many students choose to arrive in Cardiff early for a number of reasons: Q You may wish to settle into Cardiff University life before the IFP begins in September. This

Over 120 years of teaching experience

Cardiff University has been successfully educating students since 1883. You can be certain that we have learned a lot in that time. Recently, 21 of our academic subject areas were independently assessed as Excellent for teaching. This spirit of excellence carries over into all our departments, and our English language teaching is no exception. Entry assessment and regular monitoring During the first week of any course, we use a standard placement exam and course-specific testing techniques to determine your English language abilities in listening, reading, speaking and writing. You will be assessed even if you have an IELTS score or equivalent. This allows us to place you in classes with students who have similar needs, allowing you to maximise your learning and ensuring you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. Professional teaching you can count on Your motivation and our teaching expertise are the keys to your success in learning English. As one of the UKs leading universities, our teaching methods are proven to work. Our teachers hold specialist qualifications in Teaching English as a Foreign or Second Language and understand the language and study requirements of the British higher education system. Many have first-hand experience of living in a different country and studying another language. But most important of all, our teachers are committed to creating a vibrant teaching and learning community. Innovative teaching materials Cardiff University English language courses follow a core syllabus developed by our own team of specialists, using recognised texts, coursebooks and source materials as well as drawing on relevant and entertaining supplementary materials current news articles, magazines and periodicals, television shows, videos and IT. The syllabus varies according to which course you study so that we meet the different needs of for example a student about to start a postgraduate degree programme at Cardiff University or someone improving his or her General English for career reasons. Intensive language and cultural studies To become fluent in another countrys language, you must also be fluent in its culture. We concentrate on developing essential language skills (grammar, reading, writing, listening and speaking) using task-based activities, current events and British themes such as literature, history, culture, education and art where appropriate. This means that you learn to use and speak English in everyday real-life situations whether at University, in the workplace, with friends, in shops, in restaurants or at home. 11 Teaching and learning methods The course employs a variety of teaching methods, all chosen to deliver the tuition you need in the best possible way. Lectures Lectures are classes given to large groups of students. Lectures allow you to gain a comprehensive base of knowledge. Lecturers make use of a range of resources and facilities to provide the information you need. During lectures, you will be given written material (handouts), information about exams and essays, and multi-media presentations. You may even find that you are invited to give your own presentation. Seminars These are smaller discussion groups of three to ten students led by tutors. This is an ideal time to discuss any questions after lectures and an opportunity to fully understand the subjects you are studying. Tutorials You can arrange to meet any tutor to discuss any aspect of the course. For example, if there is something you did not understand in a lecture or seminar, or if you want to discuss the progress of your project or essay or any other topic you want to talk about. All students are encouraged to speak individually to their tutors if they have any questions or problems; your tutor will always be pleased to see you and happy to help. Official recognition Once your English language course is finished, you will receive an official Cardiff University Attendance Certificate. It is proof of your time with us and makes an excellent addition to your CV - demonstrating to future employers your new language abilities as well as your initiative and independence.

A choice of accommodation
Accommodation Student accommodation for Bridge Programme Students at Cardiff University is guaranteed for all single international students throughout the entire course of their studies, providing they apply through the normal admissions cycle. (September - June). Please note: Students starting the Bridge Programme in January or April will have a limited choice of university accommodation options. Students starting the Bridge Programme in September or January who do not plan to study until June will need to find accomodation in the Private sector. University accommodation in a hall of residence is available from 2pm on the day before your course starts to 10am the day after it finishes. In some cases, accommodation may be available earlier or later. Please enquire closer to your start date if you need to make early arrival/late departure arrangements (all special arrangements are subject to availability). Your accommodation address and any other relevant details will be sent to you as soon as they are confirmed and at least one week before the course begins. Please note: all University accommodation is exempt from council tax. Students in private accommodation will only be exempt if they study on the 9-month courses (September Bridge and International Foundation Programmes).

We recommend that all international students especially those new to Cardiff and the UK take advantage of the benefits of living in a University residence.

The average cost of University accommodation is 80 per week. In addition to the cost of accommodation, we recommend that students allow 90 per week on average for food and other essentials, entertainment, travel within Cardiff and small items of personal spending.

Cardiff University offers an excellent standard of student accommodation. 75% of our individual study/bedrooms have private showers and toilets, and students generally share kitchens and recreational facilities, including a sports centre, shop, launderette and social areas. All our halls of residence have 24 hour security and are within easy travelling distance of the main campus.

The city is also one of Britains most successful shopping centres, complete with modern shopping complexes, pedestrianised shopping streets, indoor/outdoor markets and an old-fashioned collection of glass-canopied Victorian and Edwardian shopping arcades. Cardiffs green spaces 330 parks and gardens reach right into the heart of the city (and University campus).
