English Language Skills Development

Faculty HLS

English language Skills Development at the faculty of Health and Life Sciences is delivered in two ways. We run a number of zero-credit modules for specific programmes in the faculty that most international students on those programmes will be automatically enrolled in. If you would like to participate, but you are not enrolled, please email insessional@exeter.ac.uk.

In addition to this, students on all science programmes are invited to join Academic Writing for Science by enrolling using the links at the bottom of the page.
