Additional Information:
English language assessment will be bench-marked against the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), such that a minimum grade of IELTS 5.5 will be achieved.

Such mapping requires an increased number of learning outcomes to be met by students and assessment of all four language skills: speaking, reading, writing and listening.

The pass mark for this module is 40%; however, students must achieve the minimum equivalent of 5.5 IELTS to succeed.
