English Language Support Unit (ELSU)

The English Language Support Unit (ELSU) provides students with all support, resources and facilities they need to study at under and postgraduate level in the medium of English. We believe language learning is a life-long process and our aim is to encourage all students to become both expert users and independent learners of the language.

Support Offered by ELSU

Level One (Undergraduate)

Academic English Skills Unit: There are a range of compulsory Academic English courses for all students during their first year which focus on both language improvement and developing academic fluency and literacy skills.

IELTS Preparation

Students who do not already hold a recognized qualification in English will have the opportunity to study and take the IELTS examination with the support of the Unit. This course is compulsory for all undergraduate first level students. Masters students who are interested in obtaining a recognised qualification, may contact ELSU at ztatsioka@york.citycollege.eu.

ELSU also recognises that each cohort of students differ in their English ability and needs, therefore other courses offered as and when there is a demand.

Students are always welcome to drop into the ELSU Office with questions or queries.

E-mail enquiries may be addressed to ztatsioka@york.citycollege.eu.

*Please note that for written work in progress, a face to face consultation is necessary
