SUSTech Postgraduate English course aims to provides a comprehensive approach to developing 21st century academic skills and preparing postgraduate students for participation in real-life academic and professional contexts.

The overriding principle of language and skill development is engagement.

Focused listening tasks, personalized discussions, challenging tests, and authentic presentation assignments enable postgraduate students to explore each topic deeply.

SUSTech Postgraduate English course bridges the gap between language-focused and content-focused instruction.

The Student of Level B must take online English learning courses independently via BB with proper guidance from the course instructors as a compulsory part of the course in order to meet the course requirement.
