Overview

The English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program will help improve students' English to qualify for admission to University of Saskatchewan degree programs. Students can receive joint admission to the University of Saskatchewan Language Centre and any of the University of Saskatchewan's six direct-entry colleges: Agriculture and Bioresources Arts and Science Education Edwards School of Business Engineering Kinesiology Once students finish the highest level of their full-time English program, they can progress into their degree program in the next available term without needing to reapply for admission or submit an English language proficiency test score. The University of Saskatchewan Language Centre offers excellent instruction in English and first-rate cultural adaptation programming to help students transition to life in Canada. Make new friends, experience Canadian culture and learn advanced English language skills and academic skills to help them succeed in their classes! When they apply for joint admission to an undergraduate degree program and to the University of Saskatchewan Language Centre, students can choose between two channels of English study: U-Bridge U-Prep Passing the highest level of English in either channel allows students to meet the university’s English language proficiency requirement for admission to direct-entry degree programs. Both programs will help students prepare for successful study at the University of Saskatchewan. In U-Bridge, students can take university classes and earn credit toward their degree while they improve their English language proficiency. U-Bridge has two levels (U-Bridge Level 1 and U-Bridge Level 2), which each include: An ESL class to help you with: Lecture note-taking Giving presentations Writing essays Reading academic articles Working in groups A university class for credit: U-Bridge instructors attend classes with students to fully support and integrate their experience. The textbook, lectures, and assignments from the academic class become the materials for language instruction.
