ELP programs are offered by universities or pathway institutions to assist students in achieving the language proficiency required for academic studies. You can get admitted to your course with a lower language requirement if you do an ELP program.

Our graduates go on to a wide variety of jobs across a broad range of sectors. our graduates are highly employable owing to the wide range of skills and experience that they develop during their degrees. each term we invite our alumni to give talks to our students to help them explore different careers. if you want to make sure that you are employable, but also want to leave your options open, then geography is a great choice.
