学前英语和学术学习技能（PEASS）是专门课程，旨在为国际学生提供在英国接受高等教育的准备。如果无条件录取的学生已经满足入学要求，但想熟悉英国大学的学术惯例，则也可以使他们受益。大学在夏季（7月和8月）提供10和5周的课程，在冬季（1月）提供5周的课程，供合格的本科生和研究生申请。如果学生不符合大学的英语语言要求，他们将被邀请加入相关的PEASS课程。
Pre-sessional English and Academic Study Skills (PEASS) are specialist courses which aim to prepare international students for study in UK higher education. They can also be of benefit to students with unconditional offers who have already met the requirements for entry onto their course but would like to familiarise themselves with the conventions of academic study at a UK university. The University offers 10 and 5-week courses in summer (July and August) and a 5-week course in winter (January) for eligible undergraduate and postgraduate applicants. If students do not meet the University's English language requirements, they will be made an offer to join the relevant PEASS course.
