• Saxion Universities offer Preparatory Courses

Saxion Universities offer Preparatory Courses for students that require extra English support (students that do not yet have the required level of IELTS or TOEFL).

These programmes are aimed at two categories of students:

A. students who have already obtained a Bachelors degree in their home country, or who have a minimum of 3 years of higher education (and therefore are technically eligible to apply for a Final Year programme), but whose English language skills have not reached the level required for a Final Year (Bachelors) or Masters Programme.

B. students who have obtained a diploma of secondary education with good results whose English language skills have not reached the level required for entrance to a four-year Bachelors Programme. Read more: Eurogates.Forum
