Short-term study

Junior Year Abroad (JYA) English PLUS

JYA English PLUS has been designed to meet the needs of students whose first language is not English. It offers a combination of language training, study skills and the opportunity to study academic modules from across the University.

  • Dedicated programme for non-native speakers
  • A choice of end dates
  • General and academic orientation with Kent’s new degree students
  • Taught on the Canterbury campus - a safe, self-contained environment with everything you need for a good academic and social life

The programme is offered in two different lengths: a full year (from May to April) or part year (eight months from May to December). After your first 18 weeks of English language study (May - September) we assess your language skills. This helps to determine which modules you should follow from September onwards.

Entry requirements:

  • We normally require a GPA of 3.0 or above (out of 4.0) or equivalent. However each application is considered on an individual basis.
  • IELTS: At least an average of 4.0 with at least 4.0 in all four components. 
  • TOEFL (internet based:) A minimum total 57 with at least 8 in Reading, 17 in Writing, 13 in Listening and 19 in Speaking.

For full details, please see the JYA English PLUS pages on the University's Centre for English and World Languages website.

The University has everything that a student is looking for - a beautiful campus, quality education and a friendly atmosphere. I took the JYA English PLUS programme and it was ideal for me.
