A welcome message from the Vice-Chancellor

International students studying at the INTO

University of Exeter Centre have a strong track

record of success. Results from our latest cohort

indicate that over 95 per cent of students passed

the Foundation programme and every one

of the Graduate Certificate students passed.

Congratulations to all of them! We are also delighted

to announce that over 90 per cent of students

completing academic preparation programmes who

were eligible to progress onto one of the University’s

degrees have chosen to do so.

They have joined a successful and expanding

University. Exeter is consistently ranked amongst

the Uk’s top 20 universities by the four main

league tables published by the Times, the Sunday

Times, the Independent and the Guardian.

Our highest position is 9th. The Times Good

University Guide 2010 ranks 21 of our subjects in

the top 10 including General Engineering, Sports

Science, Economics, Drama, Politics, Psychology

and Middle East Studies. We are also ranked 4th

in the UK amongst traditional universities for

student satisfaction – and are very proud to have

maintained our top ten position in this important

assessment for the last four years.

To reinforce our position as an outstanding

university we have embarked on an impressive

three-year £270 million investment programme

in new buildings, research centres, student

residences and campus facilities.

There are many good reasons to choose the INTO

University of Exeter Centre to continue your

studies. Whatever your reason – we look forward

to welcoming you.

Professor Steve Smith

Vice-Chancellor, University of Exeter

A welcome message from INTO

INTO University of Exeter has just completed

another highly successful year. Nearly 300

international students progressed to the

University from our academic preparation

programmes, and another 400 students entered

directly from our English language courses.

The number of students choosing to study at

the Centre continues to rise, supported by

the top-ten status of the University, the good

reputation of our courses, the excellent student

support we offer, and the beautiful and secure

environment of the campus.

When you study with us you will enjoy a wide

range of courses and an exciting choice of modules

– all designed to prepare you for your chosen

degree. Whatever subject you choose, you can be

sure of expert tuition and personal guidance. Our

aim is that you become a confident, independent

learner, ready for all the challenges and rewards of

a top UK university education.

We will also provide you with a rich

social experience. More than 40 different

nationalities are currently represented at

the Centre, providing you with the ideal

opportunities to make friends with other

students from different cultures and

backgrounds. You will also be a full member of

the University from the moment you register

for your course with full access to all of the

first-class study, sport and social facilities

on campus. There’s so much going on and we

encourage you to get involved!

I look forward to meeting you and welcoming

you to our Centre.

Learning and teaching

Excellent reputation

The University of Exeter is one of the UK’s

most popular universities with around eight

applications for every undergraduate place.

Tracing its history back to various educational

bodies created in the mid 1800s the University

was awarded its own Charter (and degree

awarding powers) in 1955. In the last 50 years,

Exeter has developed into a three-campus

university with approximately 15,000 full-time

students, of which around 3,000 come from over

120 countries outside the UK.

The University is consistently ranked amongst

the top 20 UK universities. Exeter ranks 9th

out of 114 UK institutions in the Times Good

University Guide 2010. The Times also ranks 21

of Exeter’s subjects in the top ten 10 including

General Engineering, Sports Science, Economics,

Drama, Politics, Psychology and Middle East

Studies. The University is also ranked in the top

10 for teaching, academic support, organisation

and management, and overall satisfaction.*

Our beautiful campus environment ensures an

excellent study environment for international

students with all the accommodation, academic,

social and sports facilities within easy walking

distance of each other, and only a short bus ride

from the historic city centre. The University has

over 4,000 study bedrooms ranging from catered

halls, self-catering flats and shared houses, to

self-contained family flats.

Wide choice of subjects

In addition to a wide variety of undergraduate

Bachelor’s degrees, many of which are

professionally recognised, the University offers

a range of specialist Masters programmes and

first-class supervision for research degrees

across a broad range of academic disciplines.

We recognise that no two people have exactly

the same interests. The University’s aim is for

students to have as much choice as possible so

that you can shape your degree to your interests

and career plans.

The University’s academic departments are

arranged into Schools, some of which cover a

single subject, for example Biosciences, and some

of which cover several interrelated disciplines,

for example Humanities and Social Sciences.

INTO University of Exeter students live and

study on the Streatham Campus which is home

to most of the University’s academic Schools

including Business, Law, Humanities and

Social Sciences, Psychology, Engineering and

Biosciences. They can also access the facilities

of the St Luke’s campus, situated 20 minutes

by bus across the city and which specialises

in Education, Medicine and Sports Science.

The University’s third campus, which opened

in 2004, is located 90 miles west of Exeter

in Cornwall. The Cornwall Campus offers a

variety of subjects, including Law, Politics and

English Literature along with specialist courses

in Conservation Biology, Renewable Energy,

Climate Change, Environmental Science,

Geology and Mining Engineering.

Excellent employment prospects

Amongst traditional research-led universities we

offer an exceptionally wide range of opportunities

for you to gain the skills employers want, giving

you a head start in your career. From study

abroad opportunities, management training

to business placements, one of the UK’s largest

student volunteering programmes to a world

wide network of study abroad opportunities and

careers advice from our own successful graduates,

there is a wealth of opportunity to add value to

your employment prospects.

Expert teaching

The University is committed to high quality

teaching in a research-rich environment. At the

University of Exeter students study and learn

with the experts – with those who write the

books and create the knowledge, not just those

who read other people’s books. This means that

our students benefit from access to the latest

thinking, equipment and resources.

Exeter has one of the highest National Student

Survey rankings in the country, being in the

top 5 for the last two years and in the top 10

since the survey began. In 2009, we came 4th in

the UK* 24 of our 31 subjects are ranked in the

top 15 nationally according to the Times Good

University Guide 2010.

The University of Exeter Business School has

topped the NSS subject rankings for overall

student satisfaction among all UK business

schools for four years running.

The University also has one of the highest

proportions of students receiving first and 2.1

class degrees and an excellent track record for

students who complete their degrees.

Quality of research

In the most recent Research Assessment Exercise

(2008) all our subjects were assessed as including

world leading (4*) research and nearly 90% of

our research was rated as being ‘internationally

recognised’. Sixteen of our 31 subjects are

ranked in their respective top 10, with 27 in their

respective top 20. What’s more - 95 per cent of

our staff submitted to the latest RAE - a much

higher proportion than most other universities.

An £80 million investment programme in science,

medicine and engineering infrastructure and

appointments is boosting research and teaching

in these areas.

Research activities at the University have

generated three prestigious Queen’s Anniversary

Prizes, the latest for research into diabetes. Our

research has also created a number of companies

and many opportunities for the exploitation of

intellectual property. These include innovations

for the rapid detection of malaria, cancer

therapeutics, next generation recording media,

driver assessment and training, counter-intuitive

materials, and the psychology of office space.

The Postgraduate and International Centre on the

Streatham Campus offers purpose-built study and

leisure facilities, including a 24-hour computer

room, lounges, seminar room and a café.

How does the University teach?

The University thinks of students as their

partners in the learning process. Students

should expect to be active contributors especially

in seminars and tutorials; our learning and

teaching style and ethos encourages active

participation by students. How you learn

varies according to which degree programme

you are studying. Lectures and tutorials play

an important part but many other methods,

including video-conferencing, webcasting

and online discussion forums, enable you to

enhance your subject knowledge. Similarly,

science courses have more practical or laboratory

assignments and field work may be an important

aspect of some courses.

As well as lectures and seminars, you will need

to spend time working on your own, studying

and researching in the library, or carrying

out practical work. You will be provided with

a reading list for each unit you take but are

responsible for planning your own reading and

private study. Support is available to help you to

make the best use of your time.

How are students assessed?

Exams are likely to be just one of the ways

in which students are assessed. Continuous

assessment allows you to work steadily rather

than have everything depend on an intense exam

period. You will be told how much each form

of assessment counts towards your final result.

The ratio of exams to continuous assessment

depends on the subject you are studying and

selection of modules. Final undergraduate degree

classifications are determined by grades achieved

in the second and third year of study.

What support can students expect?

Our supportive environment starts before

you leave home with detailed pre-arrival

information and an induction programme for

new students. We understand that studying

overseas can be a big step and want to ensure

you are equipped to make the most of the

academic and cultural experience.

For students who feel that their work could be

improved through development of new study

techniques, the Student Learning Skills Service

provides study skills support in:

time organisation and prioritising•

assignment planning and writing•

reading strategies and note-taking•

revision and exam techniques.•

Free in-sessional English language support is

also available for students progressing to degree

courses who feel they need further tailored

support throughout their studies.

Our network of experienced professional staff

in the Student Advice Unit, Student Counselling

Service, Chaplaincy, Accommodation and

International Student Support Offices are on

hand to help should you need it, whatever

the problem.

University of Exeter 7

One of the lesser-known recipes for happiness is to live in a place where other people choose to go on holiday. [The University] has campuses in the cathedral city and also near Falmouth, in Cornwall, as well as coastline, countryside and glorious weather. Exeter has an excellent academic reputation – applications far exceed the national average.

sculptures by well-known artists, and is a great

way to see the Streatham Campus.

Sport

The University invested around £10 million

in sport in the last six years to create sports

facilities which are amongst the best in the

UK. All students are encouraged to use the

facilities, which are designed for competitive and

recreational use.

There are facilities on the Streatham Campus

for all the major sports including football,

cricket, hockey, rugby, tennis, squash and

badminton. The Sports Park also has a

90-station air-conditioned health and fitness

studio and runs a varied programme of classes

throughout the year including tai chi, yoga,

pilates and various martial arts.

You can also use the heated indoor swimming

pool at the St Luke’s Campus, which is a 20

minute walk away, or join one of our 50 sports

clubs which include sailing and canoeing (our

location is perfect), along with archery, caving,

climbing, lacrosse and ultimate frisbee. All the

University’s campuses are ideally suited for

those who enjoy an outdoors lifestyle. As well as

A great place to live

The University’s Streatham Campus is one of

the most beautiful in the country. The campus’

lakes, parkland, sculpture trail and gardens,

including a registered Botanic Garden, create a

unique environment in which to study. All of the

teaching buildings together with the Sports Park,

the library, the shopping centre, restaurants,

cafés and bars are conveniently located within

easy walking distance of each other so time

and money are not wasted travelling around. In

addition the city centre is only a five minute bus

ride or 15-minute walk away so you can enjoy

the advantages of a campus-based university

without missing out on life in the city.

City of Exeter

A safe, student-friendly city, Exeter is

consistently rated as one of the best places to

live in the UK for the quality of its amenities,

it’s low crime-rate and it’s proximity to miles of

fantastic countryside nearby.

With a population of around 122,000, the city

happily combines modern life with a sense of the

past. Cafés, restaurants, pubs and shops mix easily

with historic buildings, including the 13th century

cathedral, Mol’s Coffee House and the Ship Inn – a

favourite haunt of Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter

Raleigh. Although a Roman city, Exeter is not

trapped in the past – major investments such as a

£235 million retail centre with over 60 new shops

and restaurants, has confirmed Exeter’s place as

the South West’s major shopping destination.

The South West

The South West is one of Europe’s top holiday

destinations and a paradise for the outdoor

enthusiast – University of Exeter students are

able to enjoy it all year round. When you want

to escape from the city, you’ll find sandy beaches

and some of the most stunning countryside in

Britain right on your doorstep.

Exeter is just 20 minutes by train from the

South Devon coast which has something for

everyone, including bird watching, sailing,

swimming, water-skiing, windsurfing, kite-

surfing and sunbathing!

Devon also has the two National Parks Exmoor

and Dartmoor, that provide exciting challenges

for hikers, climbers, horse riders and cyclists. In

contrast, the gentler Devon landscapes of rolling

hills, rivers, picturesque villages with their

traditional thatched cottages, charming inns and

attractive market towns are perfect for exploring

at a more leisurely pace.

For more information, please visit www.lotstodo.co.uk

Connections

A good road and rail network links Exeter

with the rest of the UK. London is around two

and a half hours away by direct train, or three

hours by road. National Express runs a regular

coach service from London and Heathrow

international airport to Exeter coach station,

which is a 15-minute walk from the campus. St

David’s train station is a five-minute taxi ride

from the campus and provides regular services to

London and all major UK cities. The city also has

its own regional airport with scheduled flights to

Europe and around the UK.

Choosing an INTO course

Choosing the right course

INTO University of Exeter offers a wide

range of courses for international students,

allowing you to develop your English or

the skills you need for your future field of

study. Our courses prepares you to enter

university at a variety of levels.

Great care should be taken in choosing a course.

Please read the course details and entrance

requirements carefully to ensure that the course

is appropriate for your level and future study

plans. In particular, if you hope to progress to a

university degree you should consider the subject

you want to study and ensure you select the

appropriate preparation pathway.


Academic programmes

Foundation programme

The Foundation programme prepares you for

direct entry to the first year of an undergraduate

programme at the University of Exeter. On

successful completion, you will be awarded the

University of Exeter Foundation Certificate,

which, (subject to having acceptable grades for

your chosen degree) guarantees entry to one of

the University of Exeter’s undergraduate degree

programmes. It is also recognised by many other

UK universities. The programme is designed

for international students who have completed

secondary schooling in their own country. The

Foundation programme is three terms in length,

with start dates in September and January

leading to the first year of an undergraduate

degree starting the following September.

There are currently four pathways:

Humanities, Law and Social Science •

Computer Science, Engineering and •

Mathematics

Economics, Finance and Accounting•

Science.•

Detailed programme information: page 18

Diploma programme

This is an advanced, one-academic-year course

of study, which is equivalent to the first

year of an undergraduate degree. Successful

completion of the Diploma programme enables

students to enter the second year of a relevant

undergraduate degree at the University of

Exeter, subject to achieving specified grades

for particular degrees. If you are already in the

first year of a relevant undergraduate degree in

your home country, you may be able to use the

Diploma as a convenient entry method to UK

higher education without having to complete a

Foundation programme.

There is a single pathway available in Business,

Management, Accounting and Economics, which

leads to a range of degrees at the University of

Exeter Business School.


Graduate Diploma programme

The Graduate Diploma programme prepares

students for entry to a Masters course. It is for

students who have completed a first degree

or diploma but not achieved the necessary

academic qualifications for entry to a UK Masters

degree; or for students who have studied a

different subject at undergraduate level and have

insufficient knowledge of their intended field

of postgraduate study. Students who pass the

Graduate Diploma programme at the appropriate

level are guaranteed a place on a related

Masters degree at the University of Exeter.

Subject modules are combined with academic

English study and the development of essential

advanced-level study skills.

The following Graduate Diploma pathways

are available:

Graduate Diploma in Management•

Graduate Diploma in Finance•

Graduate Diploma in Law•

Graduate Diploma in Public Administration.•



Choosing an INTO course CONTINUED

English for Undergraduate Study

The English for Undergraduate Study course will

raise your level of English language in order to

gain entry to either the Foundation or Diploma

programmes at the Centre, or to undergraduate

degree courses at the University of Exeter. This

course has start dates in September, January,

April and July.

Detailed course information: page 48

English for Postgraduate Study

If you are academically qualified for

postgraduate degree study at a British

university, this course will improve your English

language level in preparation for a Masters or

other postgraduate degree programme. This

course has start dates in September, January,

April and July. Students intending to study for

a Graduate Diploma at the Centre, but whose

level of English is not high enough to start

immediately, can also take this course.


English language courses

The University of Exeter has been providing

English language training for international

students for over 30 years. Our courses can help

you improve your English for general needs, or

serve as preparation for further study.

To enter any undergraduate or postgraduate

degree course in the UK, you must satisfy

specified English language requirements. The

most successful students are those who take the

time to raise their level of English beyond the

standard entry requirements. Greater fluency

in English allows you to be more intuitive and

efficient in your class and coursework.

Study Abroad with English

A flexible and intensive course combining English

language studies with academic course modules

from either the University of Exeter or the

INTO academic programmes (subject to having

a high enough starting level of English). It offers

students an extended period spent studying in a

campus environment.


Pre-Sessional English

These courses are for you if you already hold

a conditional offer for an undergraduate or

Studying at INTO University of Exeter was a memorable experience for me. The Foundation program

prepared me for entry to the University and gave me the confidence to succeed in my studies.

The city of Exeter is rich in history, art and culture and with a large students population it offers a unique learning ambiance.

My favourite pastime is to visit the Exeter Phoenix. Every week it had some event that I would attend ranging from

Shakespearean plays to talks covering a variety of subjects.

language level and proposed study plan. With

multiple entry points and different durations of

study, the course has the flexibility to cater for

students with different language levels. At the

end of each term, your skills and language will be

assessed to give a clear indication of your progress.

Course content

The English for Undergraduate Study course

will enable you to develop your knowledge,

ability and confidence in a variety of skills that

are essential for undergraduate study. These

include team work, problem solving, critical

thinking, time management, and as your level

increases, research projects, research methods

and quantitative and qualitative data analysis.

Through studying a range of modules, you will

develop a greater command of written and

spoken English, as well as the academic study

skills that are critical for successful study at

undergraduate level.

The course comprises 20 hours of taught lessons

per week plus one hour of directed self-study

available to all students, which will be supervised

by a tutor who will be able to give guidance and

of the English for Undergraduate Study and

English for Postgraduate Study courses.

Students may be mixed at lower levels; however,

every attempt will be made to separate

undergraduates from postgraduates at higher

levels in order that they can benefit from input

and material appropriate to their destination.

The following description outlines course content

for different skills and modules. Depending on

your level, you will spend more hours per week

on certain modules.

TheEnglishforUndergraduateStudy course focuses on the Englishskillsyouneedtostudyeffectivelyonanundergraduatedegreeprogramme.

Language Development

The emphasis of this module is on increasing

both your general and academic vocabulary,

as well as improving your accuracy in spoken

English. The overall aim is to ensure that you can

communicate and clearly express your thoughts

both in writing and speaking.

Academic Speaking and Listening Skills

This module will help you develop speaking and

listening skills through topic-based discussions,

seminars, lectures, reports and interviews.

The focus of the module is on fluency and

appropriateness for academic purposes and

is designed to familiarise you with university

teaching and learning styles. In seminars, you will

be encouraged to participate in group discussions

by evaluating information on a particular topic

and actively contributing your thoughts and

opinions. You will practise your listening skills

by taking notes from a variety of authentic

spoken texts, including talks, lectures, reports

and radio interviews. At higher levels, part of

the assessment is to give an oral presentation

able to convey your opinion by interacting and

responding appropriately to others.

This module helps develop your academic writing

skills in order that you can communicate through

at different text types, you will learn how to

piece of written work through organisation of

your ideas, adopting a suitable writing style and

taking into account the needs of the reader. An

important part of academic writing is process

writing; therefore, as part of this module, you

will produce written drafts with feedback from

your tutor and, as your level increases, work on

your writing in individual tutorials with a writing

tutor. As part of this module, you will also learn

about the importance of avoiding plagiarism and

will be taught strategies for incorporating other

people’s ideas while using your own words.

Course description

English for Postgraduate Study is a year-round

course of intensive academic English language

study which prepares international students,

whose first language is not English, for academic

study at postgraduate level at a UK university

or for entry onto the Graduate Diploma. The

course incorporates English language skills,

academic study skills and, at higher levels, specific

postgraduate research skills – all that is needed for

successful university study at postgraduate level.

The course will help you adjust to the demands,

challenges and expectations of UK higher

education. English for Postgraduate Study

enables you to practise your developing

language skills in a vibrant UK university

environment, where you can take advantage of

the University’s additional learning facilities

and mix with a wide variety of British and other

international students.

You can enrol on the English for Postgraduate

Study course at the beginning of each term and

choose to study either just one term or a full

academic year, depending upon your current

language level and proposed study plan. With

multiple entry points and different durations of

study, the course has the flexibility to cater for

students with different language levels. At the

end of each term, your skills and language will be

assessed to give a clear indication of your progress.

Course content

The English for Postgraduate Study course will

enable you to develop your knowledge, ability and

confidence in a variety of skills that are essential

for postgraduate study. These include team

work, problem-solving, critical thinking, time

management, and as your level increases, research

projects, research methods and quantitative and

qualitative data analysis. Through studying a range

of modules, you will develop a greater command

of written and spoken English, as well as the

academic study skills that are critical for successful

study at postgraduate level.

The course comprises 20 hours of taught lessons

per week plus one hour of directed self-study

available to all students, which will be supervised

by a tutor who will be able to give guidance and

advice on aspects of independent learning. In

order to make good progress, you are expected

to do approximately 20 additional hours of

self-study outside class. This self-study may

include homework and assignments set by

tutors or coursework which will be submitted for

assessment as well as online learning.

At the lower levels, the course will focus

on developing core English language skills

including confidence in speaking, listening,

reading and writing with a particular emphasis

on grammar, vocabulary development,

pronunciation and spoken fluency – preparing

you to focus more on the academic skills once

you reach an intermediate level.

Students study academic English at all levels of

the English for Undergraduate Study and English

for Postgraduate Study courses. Students may

be mixed at lower levels; however, every attempt

will be made to separate undergraduates from

postgraduates at higher levels in order that they

can benefit from input and material appropriate to

their destination.

The following description outlines course content

for different skills and modules. Depending on

your level, you will spend more hours per week

on certain modules.

TheEnglishforPostgraduateStudy course helps raise your EnglishlevelforentrytoapostgraduatecourseintheUK.

Language Development

The emphasis of this module is upon developing

your understanding of grammar, increasing

both your general and academic vocabulary,

as well as improving your accuracy in spoken

English. The overall aim is to ensure that you can

communicate and clearly express your thoughts

both in writing and speaking.

Academic Speaking and Listening Skills

This module will help you develop speaking and

listening skills through topic-based discussions,

seminars, lectures, reports and interviews.

The focus of the module is on fluency and

appropriateness for academic purposes and

is designed to familiarise you with university

teaching and learning styles. In seminars, you

will be encouraged to participate in group

discussions by evaluating information on a

particular topic and actively contributing your

thoughts and opinions. You will practise your

listening skills by taking notes from a variety of

spoken texts including talks, lectures, reports

and radio interviews. At higher levels, part of

the assessment is to give an oral presentation

on an academic subject. The overall aim of this

module is to give you experience in identifying

the key points of a particular subject and being

able to convey your opinion by interacting and

responding appropriately to others.

Academic Writing

This module helps develop your academic writing

skills in order that you can communicate through

writing both accurately and fluently. You will

study sentence structure, appropriate vocabulary

and academic writing conventions. By looking

at different text types, you will learn how to

construct a clear and logical argument within

a piece of written work through appropriate

organisation of your ideas, adopting a suitable

writing style and taking into account the needs

of the reader. An important part of academic

writing is process writing; therefore, as part of

this module, you will produce written drafts

with feedback from your tutor and, as your level

increases, work on your writing in individual

tutorials with a writing tutor. As part of this

module, you will also learn about the importance

of avoiding plagiarism and will be taught

strategies for incorporating others’ ideas while

using your own words.


51

Assessment

Assessment on the course is based on the skills

and language that you have studied on the

different modules during your course. Some

assessment will be coursework submitted during

the term; the remainder of the assessment will

consist of end of term tests, all of which will give

you a clear indication of your progress. Depending

on the level at which you have studied during the

term, methods of assessment may include written

assignments, interviews, oral presentations, and

research projects, in addition to reading, writing

and listening tests under exam conditions.

Course outcomes

Successful entry to UK University

independent advice and guidance to support you

in your university selection and with the process

Postgraduate Study course offers:

direct entry to a postgraduate degree •

programme at the University of Exeter (without

the need for an external IELTS exam*)

assured progression onto the Graduate •

Diploma (without the need for an external

IELTS exam).

Academic Reading and Study Skills

The focus of this module is to develop essential

reading skills and strategies needed for studying

at university level. Through studying the

organisation and structure of texts from both

general and academic sources, you will develop

the skills of note-taking, paraphrasing and

summarising. You will also learn how to interpret

and describe data from non-textual information

such as graphs and tables. At all levels, you will

be encouraged to react to texts by giving your

opinion and, as your reading skills improve, you

will develop critical reading skills appropriate to

studying at postgraduate level.

Project

At the higher levels, you will be asked to work on

a project which will prepare you for university-

style teaching and learning methods, including

the importance of independent study. Forming

part of the overall assessment for the module,

you will undertake an extended research project

making use of both primary and secondary

resources. Through directed self-study and

tutorial classes, you will work with your teachers

to identify those key areas that need to be

developed in order to improve the quality of your

project. You will also be required to deliver a

presentation on your research project.

unless these forms have been completed, signed

and returned before the start of the course.

UK-based guardian for international students

under 18.

for either Guardianship services or a friend or

family member in the UK to act as guardian,

evidence of these arrangements must be

supplied to INTO before the course starts.

AccommodationI think that most students would prefer to live in student accommodation.

Every student has their own bedroom, a kitchen shared with other students and a big and comfortable common room where everybody can

watch TV or meet with their friends. Sometimes we organise international dinners where people from different countries cook their national dishes

and everybody gather together to try all the dishes.ALENA MARkOVA, RUSSIA, GENERAL ENGLISH SUMMER SCHOOL

Terms and conditions 1 of 2 63

Terms and conditions 1 of 2ImportantStudents should ensure they read these terms and conditions (“Terms and Conditions”) very carefully before signing their application for admission. These Terms and Conditions constitute the whole agreement between us for the provision of English language courses and/or academic programmes and any other INTO course which and shall supersede any promises, representations, warranties whether written or oral made by or on behalf of one party to the other.

We reserve the right to vary these Terms and Conditions without your consent at any time prior to entering into a contract with you. In such circumstances, we will provide you with a revised set of Terms and Conditions.

All students agree to be bound by the regulations, policies and procedures of University of Exeter as amended from time to time. These can be found at www.exeter.ac.uk and paper copies are available on request.

Any reference in these Terms and Conditions to liability of students shall also infer liability on the parents or guardian of the student and such liability is joint and several. INTO University of Exeter LLP may assign, transfer, or sub-contract in whole or in part some or all of the benefit and or burden of these Terms and Conditions.

Application, confirmation of acceptance and paymentStudents should complete their application and submit it to INTO University of Exeter Admissions office, [email protected]. If the application is accepted, a written offer of a place will be issued. The student’s acceptance of this offer must be accompanied by a deposit, as described in the offer letter, towards tuition fees in advance plus the Uniplan Insurance premium, together with the completed form, or proof of alternative cover. This is when your contract with us is formed. If, after paying your deposit and receiving your Certificate of Acceptance (CAS), you request any changes to the CAS, you will be charged £10.00 each time you request a new CAS. This charge is imposed by the UK Government and is correct at the time of going to press (but may be subject to subsequent variations which are outside of INTO’s control). The amount of the deposit required will be shown in the offer letter. The balance of fees payable must be paid four weeks prior to the course start date (as stated in the offer letter). All course dates are included in this brochure. Any deposits paid are only refundable in the event that a student is unable to meet visa entry requirements, subject to the receipt of an official visa rejection letter (further details of which are set out below).

CancellationIf visa entry requirements have been met, the following charges apply for courses cancelled before the student’s arrival in the UK.

Academic and English for Undergraduate/Postgraduate and Pre-Sessional English programmes

Four weeks or more before commencement: •cancellation fee of £500;Less than four weeks before commencement: •cancellation fee of £1000.

Cancellations must be made in writing and will become valid on the day the written notice is received by INTO University of Exeter LLP. Cancellation fees shall be invoiced to the student and payment shall be due within 30 days of the date of such invoice.

Cancellation of a course includes cancellation of Uniplan Insurance. Refunds will be made for the unelapsed period of cover minus a £25 administration charge.

Visa refusalIf you wish to cancel or defer your course due to visa refusal, you will not incur any cancellation charges, always providing that you inform us in writing and send us evidence of the visa refusal as early as possible. Such notification and evidence must, in any event, arrive at the INTO Admissions office in the UK no later than four weeks (one week for General English courses) after your proposed course start date. Failure to do this will result in normal cancellation charges applying (as set out above) and no fees will be refunded.

Conditions of offer are not metIf you wish to cancel your course due to not meeting the conditions of your offer, you will not incur any cancellation charges, always providing that you inform us in writing and send us evidence that the conditions have not been met as early as possible. This information must arrive at the INTO Admissions office in the UK no later than four weeks before your course start date or the day after your exam results are published (if this falls after the 4 week cut off point). Failure to do this will result in normal cancellation charges applying (as set out above) and no fees will be refunded.

DeferralsYou may defer the start of your course, on the grounds that you have been prevented by external events from starting your course, up to a maximum of two times. An external event shall include, without limitation, serious illness or injury of you or of a close member of your family. You must ensure that your request to defer, with a full explanation of your reason for the request, is presented in writing and reaches the INTO Admissions office in the UK at least four weeks before your course start date. This should also include details of your preferred new start date for your course. If your request arrives after this date, normal cancellation charges will apply (see the ‘Cancellations’ section above).

All deferrals are subject to the availability of your chosen new course start date at the time we receive your request to defer. All deferral requests will be considered by the INTO Admissions office on a case-by-case basis and acceptance of a deferral request will be at the INTO Admissions office’s sole discretion. On the basis that a new CAS will need to be issued if your request to defer is successful, you will be charged a fee of £10 in respect of the new CAS. This charge is as set out under the paragraph headed “Application, confirmation of acceptance and payment” above. Please note that your accommodation will need to be re-booked and will be subject to availability.

If your reason for deferral is due to visa refusal, the provisions set out under “Visa refusal” above shall apply.

Tuition feesAll tuition fees and insurance fees (if applicable) must be paid in full in pounds sterling by cheque, banker’s draft, bank transfer or credit or debit card four weeks prior to the start date of the course. Payment by credit card is subject to a surcharge of 2%. There is a £1 surcharge for payment via debit card).

If bank or credit card charges are incurred by INTO on such payments, where these charges have been incurred through no fault of INTO, these will be re-invoiced to students’ accounts so that INTO receives the payment in full.

Fees discount for timely paymentIf you pay full fees (tuition plus accommodation, if required) for a total of at least three terms of study on specified courses by the due date of four weeks before the first course start date, you will receive a discount of £500 on the total amount due. This will be shown on the invoice that is sent to you. This applies only to fees due for tuition on academic programmes and on the English for Undergraduate and Postgraduate Study courses, but not for other courses. This discount cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer (eg: If you are awarded a scholarship from either INTO University of Exeter or the University of Exeter)

Payment must be received by INTO in the UK at least four weeks before the first course start date for this discount to apply. If payment does not arrive by this time the full amount of fees is payable. Each student may benefit from this discount only once.

Terms and conditions 2 of 2Airport pick-upsAirport pick-ups will be booked for the passenger named on the application form only or for named students if students agree in advance (and notify INTO of the same) to share an airport pick up. Additional family members or chaperones accompanying the named passenger will be charged additional fees. The first 60 minutes of waiting time is included in the fee as specified in this brochure. Additional fees may apply for waiting periods longer than 60 minutes. Fees will ONLY be refunded for ‘missed pick-ups’ if the student informs INTO, by telephoning the INTO emergency telephone number (as publicised in the pre-departure guide), that their pick-up will not be required or will be delayed before they leave the departure airport.

Airport transfer fees must be paid for at the time of booking.

Airport pick-ups are compulsory for students under 18, unless parents provide INTO University of Exeter with evidence that they have made alternative arrangements for the collection of their child from the UK entry airport. A similar compulsory delivery of students under 18 to their departure airport applies.

Travel to INTO University of ExeterINTO will expect students to assist us with our Green Travel Plan, as may be reasonably required. To this extent, students may not bring cars onto campus (or with a one mile radius of campus) unless otherwise agreed in advance by INTO. Please contact INTO for further details of our Green Travel Plan.

Academic criteriaStudents are accepted onto the programme on the strict understanding that progression through the course and successful completion of the course are conditional upon satisfactory attendance and successful attainment of specified progression grades. During the Course Induction all students will be made aware of the criteria for successful completion of the course. The assessment of student performance will take into consideration:

coursework;•internal centre examination results.•

Students who do not meet the attainment criteria for successful completion will not be allowed to proceed with their original course. In such cases, students will be offered advice on suitable alternative study options which may include retaking modules, changing course or repeating a course. In some cases, an alternative study plan may involve additional time and expenditure with regard to tuition and accommodation fees.

English language admissions criteriaStudents are accepted in good faith onto both English language and academic programmes on the basis of the certification they provide to meet the admissions criteria. If, however, the results from the tests and assessment procedures on arrival provide clear evidence that a student’s actual level of English language proficiency is significantly lower than claimed and lower than that required for their designated programme, then the student will be formally advised of the results and of their options. In these cases, students will not be allowed to proceed with their original course, but will be advised as to the best alternatives. In some cases, an alternative study plan may involve additional time and expenditure with regard to tuition and accommodation fees.

ArrivalsStudents must be at least 17 years of age on the published start date of the course (see note about minimum age on page 18 for Foundation and on page 34 for Diploma). Students must arrive at the Centre on the Saturday or Sunday before the course start date and register and enroll on the published start date.

Late arrivalsWe expect all students to arrive and start their course on the scheduled start date. However, we recognise that students sometimes are delayed for unavoidable reasons (these would include, for example, cancellation of or delays to flights or other transport). In exceptional cases, INTO University of Exeter will allow students to arrive up to two weeks after the published start date for academic programmes and up to one week late on English language courses. All late arrivals must be approved in advance by the Centre Director of INTO University of Exeter as soon as the student becomes aware that he or she will not arrive in time for the scheduled start date.

If, due to late arrival, a new CAS has to be issued, there will be a £10 charge for the issuing of the new CAS.

This charge is imposed by the UK Government and is correct at the time of going to press (but may be subject to subsequent variations which are outside of INTO’s control).

Students on the five-week Pre-Sessional course MAY NOT arrive late. No fees will be refunded for late arrivals.

AttendanceStudents are accepted onto the programme on the strict understanding that they attend all classes. By signing the application form, the student accepts that if they fail to attend classes without good reason, or without the permission of the Programme Manager, they may be deemed to have withdrawn or be required to leave the course. INTO is subject to formal record keeping duties. Please see the paragraph below in this respect.

Record keeping duties under TIER 4 Immigration rules (PBS)INTO University of Exeter must keep: a copy of your passport, identity card for foreign nationals or United Kingdom immigration status document and your contact details.

Under the above rules University of Exeter will report to the UK Border Agency in the following circumstances:

if you fail to enrol on your course within the •enrolment period;if you miss 10 expected contacts without INTO •University of Exeter permission; if INTO University of Exeter stop being your •immigration sponsor for any other reason, for example, if you move in to an immigration category that does not need an approved education provider; if there are any significant changes in your •circumstances, for example, if the length of a course of study becomes shorter; orany suspicions INTO may have that you are •breaking the conditions of your permission.

Behaviour and welfareBy signing the application form, the student hereby consents that INTO may receive any relevant information from any University of Exeter school, service or centre concerning the student’s behaviour and welfare.

Class times and sizesFor all English language courses, classes will normally be held Monday to Friday between the hours of 8 am and 6 pm. Maximum class size is normally 16 students for English for Undergraduate Studies and English for Postgraduate Studies courses, and 18 students for English language modules on academic courses. Where appropriate, classes may be combined for university style lectures.

For academic courses, classes will normally be held Monday to Friday. Lessons will take place in the form of classes, seminars and workshops. Class sizes will vary depending on the learning format (eg lecture, seminar, lab practicals).

University placementStudents who successfully complete the INTO Foundation course may, at INTO’s sole discretion receive a refund of all tuition fees paid if, having complied with INTO staff advice with regard to their university application, they have not been offered a place at a UK university on a course appropriate to their qualification.

University progressionStudents who successfully complete the INTO Foundation, Diploma or Graduate Diploma programme and who meet the individual entry requirements of University of Exeter for their chosen degree will be permitted to progress onto their course provided they have received a conditional offer and met the terms of that offer and any other University entry requirements.

Medical and accident insuranceAll students must maintain a valid and comprehensive medical and accident insurance policy for the duration of their stay. Students unable to provide evidence of adequate cover at the time of their application are required to take up the Uniplan Insurance cover as a condition of enrolment.

Medical treatmentAcceptance by the student, and also by his/her parent or legal guardian (if the student is under eighteen years of age), of a place to study at INTO University of Exeter indicates that the student:

Gives permission for the administration of first aid•and appropriate non-prescription medication to him/her, and (if the student is under eighteen years of age) for INTO to recommend that the student seek medical, dental or optical treatment when required.

Students who are under 18INTO recommends that parents appoint a UK based guardian for international students under 18 years of age. If parents are making their own arrangements for either guardianship services or a friend or family member in the UK to act as guardian to the student, then evidence of these guardianship arrangements must be supplied before the course commences.

Parents of students under 18 must sign a consent form authorising nominated INTO staff to act (on behalf of the parent) in the case of an emergency. They must also complete a medical information form. Both forms will be included with INTO confirmation documents and must be completed and returned to INTO before the start of the course.

Notice of withdrawalIf a student wishes to withdraw they must notify INTO University of Exeter in writing as described above in the section ‘Cancellation’. Once a student has arrived in the UK and commenced their course no course fees will be refunded. Accommodation cancellation charges also apply as outlined above.

HolidaysINTO University of Exeter is closed on all recognised UK public holidays. Please refer to Fees page in INTO University of Exeter brochure for exact dates. No refunds will be made for classes not taking place on these dates. Term dates relevant to individual courses are published in this brochure and no classes will take place outside these dates.
