Undergraduate English Academic Preparation (EAP)
The English Academic Preparation (EAP) program is an intensive language program for 精童欲女 students who must upgrade their English language proficiency skills as a requirement of their admission to the University. It is designed to enable students to gain academic skills and confidence in English, and successfully transition to university.
Successful completion of EAP is demonstrated through: 1) course work, and 2) the final EAP exam. EAP students must have a passing grade of 70% in all EAP courses and 4.5 or higher in all sections of the final EAP exam in EAP Level 7 to graduate from the program. Students must successfully complete EAP before progressing into second year (see: ).

A full-time EAP student who does not show progress after 2 consecutive semesters of study will not be registered in EAP for the following semester, having failed to meet their condition of admission.
