Simon Fraser University English Language Program
The SAF is pleased to introduce the English language programs offered by The English Language Bridge Program at SFU.
We have outlined below those options we believe will be most popular with SAF participants. Please refer to the English Bridge Program website directly or contact an SAF counselor for additional information or alternative start-dates.
ESL Option 1
Start Date: May 11
Length of Course: 10 Weeks
Minimum Required TOEFL for Entry to ESL Program: 540 / 207 / 76 TOEFL or 5.5 IELTS
SAF recommended TOEFL for ESL program start date with anticipation of enrolling in academic courses beginning in September: 550 / 213 TOEFL or 6.0 IELTS
Note: An IELTS examination is given at the end of the 10 week program at no additional cost; 65% of summer bridge program students at Simon Fraser University succeed in earning a 6.5 IELTS.
Simon Fraser does not offer the opportunity to enroll in partial ESL and partial academic courses.
Student Responsibility: The SAF programs are designed to be fully integrated academic experiences whereby SAF participants enroll in regularly offered academic courses of their host university. We recognize however that there are many talented students who would like to study abroad through the SAF but who lack sufficient English proficiency. To accommodate such students the SAF offers “pre-semester” or “pre-sessional” intensive English language programs at a number of our host universities and colleges.
While the SAF and the host university/college will make every effort to support students as they work to fulfill the requirements for progressing from English language to regularly offered academic courses, it is ultimately the student’s responsibility to meet the stated qualifications. Failure to meet the host university’s or college's minimum English language requirements may preclude students from undertaking academic courses.
