English for Academic Purposes
The focus of the EAP course is to develop English language proficiency for academic use, which students will require in order to study alongside native speakers in further and higher education.
Located conveniently within Melbourne’s Central Business District and sitting next to Carlton Gardens – a beautifully designed park that is home to the Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum – our campus is a stone's throw away from the University of Melbourne, RMIT, and the State Library.
The campus is easily accessible via public transport, and is in the middle of Melbourne's unique, lively, and international city life. There is simply no better place for students to begin their journey in Australia.

EAP 1
EAP 2
EAP 1 bridges the gap between General English and Academic English, and is foundational for those wanting to advance their English to an academic level. It teaches students how to develop the necessary skills required to be effective in further education settings, such as note-taking, essay writing and presentation skills. It also provides strategies for undertaking research and handling unfamiliar academic vocabulary.
