DEGREE PREPARATION

The International Study Centre at Royal Roads University offers comprehensive English language and study skills programs to those students who need additional support to meet the university’s English language requirement for admission. These pathway programs provide the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for academic studies.

Students learn in a customized teaching environment that is tailored specifically for their needs and they benefit from small class sizes, personal attention, longer than average classroom hours and a supportive student community.

“ Each support system at the university did its best to help me. The doors of the International Study Centre are open to us any time – the staff loves to help the students and to make them happy.”

Ali Yacoub Al Boori, Saudi Arabia BA in Professional Communication

DEGREE PREPARATIONEnglish for Academic Purposes

The English for Academic Purposes Program (EAP) offers students the opportunity to develop the key language skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing, in the context of degree level studies. Alongside EAP, other courses focus on the approaches and strategies required to become a successful student in Canadian higher education. A strong emphasis is placed on frequent assignments, a high level of formative assessment and detailed, supportive feedback.

This enables close tracking of students’ progress and facilitates the provision of guidance to individual students. A further and important element of EAP is the help given to students to adapt to living and studying in a new environment.

After completion of EAP and the achievement of 4.5 IELTS or equivalent, students progress onto the University Bridging Program.

DEGREE PREPARATIONUniversity Bridging Program

DEGREE PREPARATIONPre-Master’s Program

The University Bridging Program (UBP) is designed for students who require only a single semester of study to reach the language levels for entry to the undergraduate degree or the Pre-Master’s Program. It enables students to deal with complex academic texts and to produce academic writing, fully referenced and in line with established conventions. A study skills course provides opportunities to research and deliver a formal presentation on an academic topic. Overall, the student’s progress is given tangible expression through the production of a portfolio of work drawn from all the UBP courses. This, along with final assessments of the student’s English level, provides evidence of the student’s readiness to move on to their bachelor’s degree or Pre-Master’s Program.

For the undergraduate program, students need to have achieved 5.5 IELTS or equivalent to join the first year of the degree. When they have completed this first degree year successfully, they need to have reached the equivalent of an IELTS level of 6.5 to move into the second year of an undergraduate program.

Pre-Master’s Program (PMP) students study for one-semester, and will take courses designed to prime them for the rigor of graduate level coursework. English proficiency language skills are taught to meet the university’s admissions requirements. In addition to the language and skills training and acclimating to a different system of learning and teaching, the program includes academic courses.

The PMP delivers curriculum within a framework that resembles typical graduate level study in Canada. Instruction during the program and measurable student work outcomes include, but are not limited to:

• Peer-reviewed content and readings and subsequent class discussions

• Formal individual and group presentations• Collaborative and team projects• Use of technology in program delivery

and in the production of assignments
