In-sessional English Skills – English language support for students

If you are studying at Kent at any level from foundation to postgraduate and English is not your first language, In-sessional English Skills (IES) is for you.

Delivered by the Centre for English and World Languages, IES modules are free of charge and take place on the Canterbury campus. If you’re based at Medway you can catch the Campus Shuttle to Canterbury.

IES can help you improve the accuracy of your English grammar and develop your listening comprehension, seminar discussion skills and writing style for academic assignments. You will also have the chance to discuss your specific language difficulties with an experienced language tutor. IES offers:

  • Support throughout the academic year
  • A ten week cycle of taught modules, delivered in the Autumn and Spring terms
  • Individual writing tutorials with staff from the Centre for English and World Languages
  • Independent study materials on Moodle
  • a chance to earn Employability Points
