English (For Non-English Speaking Applicants)

This certificate programme at the University of Mines and Technology is designed for applicants whose first language is not English. It focuses on building practical English skills for everyday and professional use. Classes take place on Saturdays and Sundays, making it suitable for those balancing study with other commitments.

What this programme covers

Programmes of this kind normally focus on the core language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking, with attention to grammar and vocabulary. They are designed to help non-native speakers communicate more confidently in English, whether in social, academic or professional settings.

Who it is for

As the title says, this certificate is aimed at applicants who do not speak English as their first language. It is a good option if you need to strengthen your English before taking a degree programme or working in an environment that requires English. The weekend-only schedule means you can fit study around work or other responsibilities.

How competitive entry is

Entry to this programme is marked as less competitive. That means places are more available than on many other programmes, and if you think you meet the basic admission conditions, you have a reasonable chance of gaining a place. Check your qualifications against the university's requirements to be sure, since no specific cut-off point is published here.
