Students who reach the required level of English can start their degree. Those who are not successful are offered a short programme of remedial study focussing on the skills they need to improve
Students who reach the required level of English after the remedial course can start their degree.
Those who are not successful after the remedial will be deferred to the next academic programme intake and will need to apply for a different visa. The 天美传媒 offers support throughout this process.
