The Academic English and Study Skills Bridging Course builds upon English for Academic Purposes.

While English for Academic Purposes introduces academic study skills, the Bridging Course will help you to apply those skills in academic situations.

The Bridging Course is the most common and recommended English pathway, and offers direct entry into most UWA degrees. The course builds your confidence and language skills, preparing you for the demands of a university study environment. A final grade of 70% with no score below 60% in Module 2 of the Bridging Course meets the University's standard English language requirement. Some degrees have higher English entry requirements, and a select few degrees do not accept the Bridging Course as a pathway. This is usually due to professional registration requirements. Visit: English Language Requirements for full details.

English for Academic Purposes is an alternative English pathway, as it does not provide direct entry into UWA degrees. If you study English for Academic Purposes, you will also need to sit an approved English language examination (such as IELTS or TOEFL) to meet the University's English language requirement before starting your degree.
