Intensive English Language Program

Our English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELAS) program is designed to:

  • develop English language skills for the next step on the pathway to university, or
  • to improve your general level of English and your knowledge and understanding of English speaking cultures.

It is offered throughout the year at five levels. Students who successfully complete English Level 5 can move on a pathway through our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program, into a degree program at USQ.

What does the program include?

The program has 5 levels of English study. Each level may be completed in 10 academic teaching weeks, and courses are 25 hours per week.

Classes are usually quite small (18 or fewer) with students from a variety of countries. This allows you to build confidence and make friends easily. As the program is delivered on the USQ Toowoomba campus, you are able to mix with students from Australia and approximately 100 nations around the world.
