English Language Preparation Programme (ELPP)

Your personalised route to a foundation programme

The ELPP programme is designed for students whose English language levels are not yet high enough for their chosen London South Bank (LSBU) FoundationCampus academic programme.

The course is flexible and based around your needs. Depending on your level and speed of progression we could have you ready to start your LSBU FoundationCampus course within 3 months. 

Essential skills for your future

The ELPP focuses on the following:

• vocabulary
• grammar
• skills training
• IELTS preparation.

You will be trained in all four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) to the level required for your course (IELTS 4.5 for Undergraduate Foundation or IELTS 5.0 for Master’s Foundation).

Upon completion of the ELPP you should be able to:

• understand basic business vocabulary and expressions
• communicate successfully in common social settings
• achieve an overall score of at least 4.5 (UFP) / 5.0 (MFP) in the internal mock IELTS test.

Ensuring your IELTS success

We don't take any chances with your future. We know you want to progress to your course so achieving the right IELTS score is crucial. To ensure that you get the results you need in your final IELTS exam, we assess your progress throughout the course by means of full and regular mock IELTS assessments. When you sit your final exam there won't be any surprises.
