Is there an English course I can take to improve my English? Can I take this class if I am the only one who needs it?
All students are required to take Communication Skills classes in their foundation year for 2 semesters before proceeding into their major years.

Those who are very weak in English will need to take the Intensive English Program for 1 semester before they can start the Art & Design Fundamental Studies; depending on the level of competence.

There are 3 regular levels (elementary / intermediate / advanced). Each level has a different syllabus tailored for that particular level of competency. We train students in professional English communication skills, covering research skills, drama, copywriting and presentation.
