The new Intensive English Program (IEP) has been redesigned to better prepare students who want to study in an international program in a university anywhere in the world.

The Intensive English Program is ideal for students who want to study a university course in English. An intensive 180-hour course which gives you a great chance to become a lot better at English.

There are three levels, elementary, intermediate and advanced, and it takes one semester to complete each level. Students who complete the advanced level will have learned the skills they need to successfully study in English at university level.

A TOEFL, IELTS or Payap Proficiency Test score and/or an oral interview are used to work out the applicant’s English level in order to place the student at the most beneficial level of instruction. Students are expected to attend all classes in which they are placed

The new Intensive English Program (IEP) has been redesigned to better prepare students who want to study in an international program in a university anywhere in the world.

The IEP consist of 4 levels of proficiency: Level 0 (Zero), Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 with Level 0 being the lowest ability and level 3 being the highest ability. Students with no English ability are able to join Level 0.

Levels 0 and 1 will focus on general English while Levels 2 and 3 will focus on the academic English needed in an international program at a university that is taught 100% in English such as Payap University’s International College (IC). The terms, beginner, intermediate and advanced are intentionally not used in the description of our levels to avoid any confusion with actual language ability in the IEP.
