About the course

English for Tertiary Studies (ETS18) is an 18-week English language program designed to build the academic communication skills needed for tertiary study. You develop study skills, language accuracy and fluency, university-level research skills and essay writing through 20–22 hours per week of classroom tuition. Successful completion can provide a pathway to direct entry to many UOW diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate programs without an external IELTS test. The programme develops education knowledge and teaching-related skills aligned with its qualification level.

Career outcome

English for Tertiary Studies (ETS18) strengthens academic English and study capabilities for students planning to progress into diploma, undergraduate or postgraduate study at UOW. It supports readiness for university learning through improved writing, research, reading and communication skills, helping students participate effectively in lectures, tutorials and assessments. Graduates typically use it as a pathway program rather than a standalone career qualification in English & Modern Languages.
