AEIS is a 20-credit academic course taught by ELTC staff and designed to improve students' academic English. AEIS has very strict English language requirements, so all students who are interested in AEIS must take the Test of English at Matriculation (TEAM). All enrolments for AEIS are organised by the Visiting Student Office (VSO) in the College of Humanities & Social Science. It is essential that you visit the VSO (3rd Floor, David Hume Tower) if you are interested in taking this course.
