Virtual English for Academic Purposes Program
The Virtual-EAP Program is designed for people who
- Have conditional acceptance into a degree program at °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ
- Or just want to improve their academic reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
- And wish to begin their studies from their home country.
By studying in the °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê×ÊÁÏ Virtual-EAP (V-EAP) program, you can begin your studies from home. You do not need a study permit, you can save on the costs of travel and accommodations, and can complete the classes from the comfort of your own home! Another bonus is you get to interact with your classmates and teachers several hours every week as you learn English in an engaging and interactive environment. Be prepared to work hard, have fun and be challenged!
