The flexibility of this course allows you to enter at one of the four entry points throughout the year, depending on the English level.

You must attend the full 10 weeks of a course block, as no late arrivals are allowed on this course.

Accommodation in our award-winning Student Village can be arranged through the University’s Accommodation Office.

Entry requirements

To be accepted onto the PREP course, you should already have a conditional offer of study for a degree course at the University of Bradford.

To start your chosen University of Bradford degree course, you will need to reach the required IELTS level - the score needed can be found in the entry requirements section of each course page.

We have a number of different pre-sessional options to help you get to the required level, outlined on the Language Centre website.
