Full-time English Study
20 January 2021 update:
The ELTU will be delivering all Term 3 modules, beginning on 12th April, in Online mode only.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ELTU plans to deliver presessional modules A, B, C, and D online only in Term 2 of 2020/21. These courses consist of online classes and tutorials and online guided independent study.
We are monitoring the situation and will return to the traditional 21 hours per week classroom based course when government and university guidelines allow us to implement this change.
