Certificate in Foundations for Intercultural Studies (ESOL)

There are 144 credits in this two semester course. The student must complete two major assessments: The first assessment represents the completion of a portfolio (internally assessed). The portfolio is divided up into two parts: semester 1 and semester 2 and represent a collection completed exercises.  The second assessment is a pass rate of 5.5 on the General IELTs* test (externally assessed).

For those students entering the programme with an IELTs level of 5, they may be awarded credit for prior learning for up to 72 credits and complete the course within one semester. This will only be done in consultation with Dean of Studies and the ESOL Co-ordinator.

*The International English Language Testing System is an external assessment conducted by various agencies in New Zealand. The student will be responsible for contacting the agency for placement and payment of fees.
