• Lessons are based on the way English is actually used
at university to familiarise you with the types of tasks and
activities that will be part of your studies at UNSW
• The UEEC is more than just an English language program.
It is conducted on campus at UNSW and provides you with
the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the campus,
facilities and support services and to build a network of
fellow students before you commence your degree.
The UEEC has been developed specifcally for students who have received conditional offers from UNSW but do not meet
the UNSW English language entry requirements. It provides an outstanding preparation experience for your academic study.
