Can I apply for the Study Skills course?

You must have an unconditional offer to study an academic course at the University of Leicester.
-
If you hold more than one unconditional offer, you must choose your academic course BEFORE applying for Study Skills.

If you hold an offer for one of our other Presessional English courses (e.g. Presessional 10 weeks or 6 weeks) you cannot apply for Study Skills.
-
If your academic course starts on 30th September 2013, you can apply for Study Skills. Unfortunately, students whose academic course starts before that date cannot apply for Study Skills.
