Offered by the School of Languages Cultures and Linguistics

The English as an international language (EIL) program offers a range of innovative undergraduate and postgraduate courses related to the study of English as a language of intercultural and international communication. The graduates of EIL program will gain an advanced understanding of the professional and international use of English.

This course is available to international and local students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

For students who cannot attend in person, the first-year EIL units are also available in the off-campus learning mode. The units offered are EIL 1010 (English as an international language: communications) and EIL 1020 (English as an international language: Language and Critical analysis).
