Pre-sessional English courses

Our Pre-sessionals improve your academic English language for study at King’s

Our innovative Pre-sessional programmes teach you the academic and language skills you need to succeed in your chosen degree and provide a different pathway to retaking an external English test.

There are different course lengths to help you meet your offer conditions (16, 11 and 6 weeks) and our team of experienced and highly-qualified tutors will give you the very best start in your academic studies.

99% of students met the conditions to progress to their chosen degree at King's in 2022 and our Pre-sessional programme satisfaction has been at least 95% for the past three years.
