During welcome week, we run a subject-specific English Language Test to assess training requirements. Based on the results, we may recommend that you take suitable English Language courses, some of which we organize specifically for Computer Science students in our school. It is very important that you follow those recommendations, to ensure that you make the most of your time at the University of Manchester, that you can communicate verbally and in writing with your colleagues and lecturers, and that possible difficulties with the English language do not prevent you from getting good marks in your coursework, exams, and project reports. Remember: being able to express yourself in a clear and precise way, and being able to understand well what you hear and read is an essential prerequisite to successful postgraduate studies.
A full guide to the University Language Centre's courses, services and its language learning resources is available at: http://www.ulc.manchester.ac.uk
Students from outside the UK may wish to take part in the activities of the International Society, including their Welcome Service. See the website at http://www.internationalsociety.org.uk. Other help for overseas students is available from the University's International Advice Team: http://www.studentnet.manchester.ac.uk/crucial-guide/academic-life/immigration/.
