Pre-sessional English Course

DGHE Pre-sessional English Course is designed to improve your academic English in readiness for your studies. It is intended for students who are planning to study for an HND or degree at DGHE but do not meet the English language requirement of their conditional offer.

Taking a Pre-Sessional English course will not only help you improve your language skills, but it will also help you with your studies and research, and give you more confidence as you prepare to start your course.

  • a headset/headphones or speakers and a microphone;
  • a webcam;
