English for University - Post Graduate Preparation

The RMIT English for University - Post Graduate Preparation program follows our Advanced English for University curriculum to prepare you for success in your post-graduate course at RMIT.  

Throughout the program, teachers review your progress by setting regular homework tasks and on-going assessments. You will receive regular, individual feedback throughout the course so that you can easily understand what you need to improve. 

Upon successful completion of the course, you will have fulfilled the English entry requirements for your postgraduate course at RMIT Vietnam. 

We offer English placement tests to find your current level. The test includes writing and speaking and is conducted by RMIT English teachers to make sure the course is right for you.

This course aims to increase your potential for successful study in your future studies and/or career by supporting you to become an effective user of academic English. It aims to provide you with the language, 21st century skills, and approaches to independent study to enable you to study effectively on higher education programs, improve your employability and prospects of promotion, or to simply meet your own learning goals for your personal satisfaction. 

In this course, you will: 

• Enhance your English language skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. 
  
• Gain academic skills by learning how to research, paraphrase and synthesise information. 
  
• Develop a broad set of practical skills as you work in teams, apply critical thinking and deliver presentations. 
  

The Advanced level of English for University – Post Graduate Preparation is equivalent to IELTS 6.5 following successful completion.

Your assessments will demonstrate your capability in reading, writing, listening and speaking. They will also include technology and help you to develop independent learning skills. The tasks will include reading responses, process writing and speaking tasks, weekly review quizzes, online workbook, and a research project based on your future post-graduate discipline. You will also have mid-course assessments in reading, listening, and speaking and an end-of-course test for each skill. You must be successful in all 4 skills to pass the course.

English courses and programs provided by RMIT University Vietnam are endorsed by NEAS (the Australian National English Language Teaching Accreditation Scheme), including for online delivery. That means you are learning in an organisation that has internationally recognised English learning and teaching standards.

The English for University program incorporates technology and explores topics that are relevant to your future RMIT post graduate degree program. You will work independently and in groups using a variety of applications and tools, and access online research and resources. Your progress will also be supported by RMIT’s state-of-the-art learning systems by providing you with access to the RMIT library, with over 700,000 online and offline journals and books.
