Dear Colleagues,
This letter contains important information about the new QUT English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programs and the resulting changes to your QUT offer.
QUT is committed to ensuring that our courses are relevant, current and provide students with a high-quality experience. Course quality assurance is a continuous process, incorporating regular monitoring, review, benchmarking, improvement and re-accreditation of courses.
As part of that quality assurance process, QUT International College will offer a new suite of EAP programs starting in February 2020. The new programs have been designed so that you can progress to your university course quickly and with the best possible preparation.
The most noticeable change will be the duration of the programs. No longer a 12 week block, the new programs are offered in both 10 week (Standard) and 15 week (Extended) streams. As a result we have reassessed your application and revised your QUT offer letter to reflect this change. Your new EAP program has been selected for you based on your original application and English language ability.
Improved success rates & on-time progression: • Students are now expected to improve by just 0.5 IELTS (equivalent) in 10 weeks instead of 1.0 in 12 weeks. • A revised curriculum and program structure means only students who do not pass (score less than 49%) will have to repeat the same level. • Less assessments: Only 2 exam days - Greater focus on language improvement. • Students are able to study high level GE (Upper-Intermediate/Advanced) between EAP programs.
Greater flexibility: • 6 start dates per year. • Two shifts – Students will have classes only in the morning or afternoon, but not both. This means time part-time employment, being with family or enjoying life in Australia. • All sections of the program are accessible online 24/7.
Improved level of quality: • 25 hours per week of class (attendance only marked for 20 hours). • All program material and assessment produced by QUT Masters-qualified educators. • Only 15 students per class on average. • All program content assessed and approved by QUT faculties.
Your new QUT offer letter is attached. Please refer to this for information regarding your program start dates, acceptance dates and tuition fees. Please note that the duration of your new EAP program will have increased or decreased, and therefore the tuition fee payable will have changed.
Please consider this offer and return the Acceptance of Offer form.
Kind regards,
