English for creative disciplines in The glasgow school of art

The Pre-Sessional English for Creative Disciplines Course is a discipline-specialist language course tailored to the needs of international students who have been offered a place on an undergraduate or postgraduate course at GSA on the condition that they improve their English up to a level required by a given GSAprogramme.Itt is an intensive and demanding course that offers a unique opportunity to study English and essential academic skills in the context of the creative disciplines (Art, Design and Architecture), their specialist learning methodologies, practices and processes. This means the course is far different from conventional language courses that for example focus on exam preparation.The course combines content and language to create optimal conditions for contextualised language practice as well as inquiry- and project-based learning to help the students develop as language learners, creative practitioners and life-long learners. Based on the feedback from past students and GSA programme leaders, such an innovative approach is appreciated and crucial in allowing the students to transition successfully onto their prospective programmes.

In order to apply for the Pre-Sessional English for Creative Disciplines course, students have to have a conditional offer for any GSA programme which requires them to improve their language skills up to a level required by the prospective programme. These requirements will be different for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and so they affect the entry requirements for the Pre-Sessional course - see the Course Options section for details. Please note that presently other English Language Qualifications are also accepted
