This is a 3 or 2 semester innovative combination of Intensive English and university foundation or pre-bachelor studies that prepares you for entry direct into the first year undergraduate degree course at a number of English speaking universities world-wide.
If your level of English is elementary (A1) or pre-intermediate (A2) you must follow the 3 semester course at the NSTS English Language Institute Malta to focus upon improving your English and examination techniques and prepare yourself for IELTS band 6.0 or for Cambridge CAE examination.
During the second semester you will reduce the intensity of your English studies as you start your studies in economics, management, marketing and accounts. You will prepare yourself to sit for examinations in June that will grant you access to university.
If your level of English prior to enrolling is intermediate (B1) or upper intermediate (B2) you may join, at your own risk, at the start of the second semester and follow a top-up reduced number of lessons of English till your IELTS or Cambridge examination, and start off directly on your four academic subjects.
The course timetable envisages a number of weekly lessons of unsupervised independent self-study and revision. The dual nature of this course places additional study demands upon you but you will have sufficient time to succeed if you work hard.
You will also have time to do sports, swim, go to the gym and keep in shape, as well as to enjoy your week-end evenings out entertaining yourself in Malta.
By the end of your course you will be proud to hold two British qualifications, in English language and in Business Studies that are recognised by a number of English speaking universities world-wide and enable you to enrol directly as an undergraduate student, saving one important year.
After this year at the NSTS English Language Institute in Malta you are two years closer to your degree.
