Thank you for your patience and understanding at this very difficult time. Please contact Stephen Giles at sjgiles@harper-adams.ac.uk for further information
Our pre-sessional course offers you an opportunity to develop your English and academic skills before progressing onto your main course of study. It is designed for students whose English level does not meet the university’s minimum entry requirements – and for those who simply wish to improve their language skills and confidence before studying.

Dates: 3 August – 11 September 2020 inclusive
To enter the course you’ll need IELTS for UKVI (Academic) Secure English Language Test (SELT) 5.5 overall with no less than 5.0 in any component or Trinity ISE II (Taken in UK). In addition to English language entry requirements, students must also meet the entry requirements for their chosen course of study as pre-sessional courses are not offered as a stand-alone option.
One single CAS letter from the University will cover both your pre-sessional and subsequent course of study. Progression onto your chosen course is dependent on you achieving the University’s minimum English entry level in the pre-sessional course assessment. If you do not achieve this level, your sponsorship will be withdrawn and you will be unable to continue in your studies.
£1,700 per student to include all tuition, materials and excursion fees.
Standard self-catered accommodation available from £565 for the duration of the course. Alternative accommodation options are available at a higher cost.
