Welcome to English for Academic Purposes!

You can apply for free English for Academic Purposes (EAP) and English for Business Studies (EBS) courses if you're a current student at the University of Sunderland.

These courses are in-sessional modules, meaning that they run during term-time. They are designed to develop your English language skills alongside your main programme of study. 

Students whose first language is not English can choose from a range of 5 week courses at both Introduction and Developing level covering different academic skills and topics. We also run 'Native Speakers' courses for students whose first language is English, or who are fluent in English as a second language who want to develop their academic language skills to complement their studies.

If you are unsure which course is right for you, students can register for one to one sessions for support and advice. You can also reach us via Library Talk and email (eap.administrator@sunderland.ac.uk) for more general enquiries.
