Why study at the English Language Centre (ELC)?
Teaching experience
Our courses are taught by highly qualified English language teachers, experienced in understanding your individual learning needs. Our programs will help prepare you for further study at the University of New England (UNE), and give you the skills and knowledge you'll need to understand how to be successful at your new university.
Learning support
The ELC provides a stimulating learning environment for students, with excellent resources and high academic standards. Our teachers are dedicated to helping you reach your goals, and will provide ongoing support and guidance throughout your studies.
Unique on-campus experience
Our students appreciate the friendly and caring learning environment of the ELC. Our staff know every student by name, and are always happy to provide assistance, both inside the classroom and beyond. Whether you need help renting accommodation, learning to drive a car, finding certain foods, or booking a doctor's appointment – we'll lend a hand.
While at the ELC, you'll also be part of a supportive international student network and have the opportunity to meet with native English speakers during our popular lunch-time conversation sessions.
UNE English Language Centre Experience
Student success
An impressive 95% of all ELC students are successful in moving into their chosen UNE program. And, when compared with other international students entering UNE, our students are shown to be better equipped to start their university degree right from day one.
During your time at the ELC, you'll not only become accustomed to the Academic culture of studying in Australia, but will also gain vital experience with student systems and online learning forums that will help you thrive at UNE.
Flexible intakes
- Our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program has four main intake dates throughout the year.
