About Pre-enrolment English Program
The Pre-enrolment English Program (PEP) will provide you with a direct entry pathway into degrees at Adelaide University. PEP helps you to develop English, communication, intercultural, and learner initiative skills for academic and professional settings. It builds your confidence and ability to engage fully in university life, both academically and socially. After successfully completing all course components, you won’t be required to complete another English test prior to entry into your chosen Adelaide University degree.
Offered from 10-week up to 35-week options, the PEP is tailored to your English language ability and needs. Your PEP program length depends on your English test score and your chosen degree’s specific entry requirements.
The PEP 30- and 35-week options are ‘extended’ options that combine your PEP course with General English for Academic Purposes (GEAP) classes. Starting your studies with the GEAP helps you build essential grammar and academic vocabulary skills, before you progress to your PEP English classes.
If you undertake a PEP extended option, you will complete a set amount of GEAP classes before moving into your PEP studies:
PEP extended 30-week: complete five weeks of GEAP before you commence 25 weeks of PEP classes.
PEP extended 35-week: complete 10 weeks of GEAP before you commence 25 weeks of PEP classes.
