English Language School

Founded over a century ago, the University of Alberta is a destination of choice for students from around the globe! Ranked 84th in the world, UAlberta hosts 39,000 students, of which 6,500 are international. We offer 400 undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs in 18 faculties. 

Why students choose UAlberta's English Language School:

• The tuition is reasonable and includes medical insurance, health services, and student services fees for each term.
• Our instructors use an active, student-centred communicative approach to help students improve their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.
• We offer multiple levels, from introductory English to English for Academic Purposes (EAP), year round.
• Our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program provides an option for international students to meet the English Language Proficiency required for undergraduate admission at the University of Alberta. Students admitted to the Bridging Program may combine degree courses with their EAP program.

UAlberta also houses the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT), which is at the forefront of research in interdisciplinary sciences. 

The English Language School is part of the Faculty of Extension at the downtown campus. This University of Alberta Faculty delivers over 700 courses to 8500 students (more than 25% of whom hail from outside Canada annually) who benefit from the expertise of more than 300 contractual instructors. Research, principally in the areas of communication, social sciences, linguistics, community development, and non-traditional learning, has established Extension as a world leader in the Scholarship of Engagement
