AEC Business School launches Foundation Diploma in English programme
Singapore, January 2008
In order to facilitate progression for international students wishing to study AEC Certificates, Diplomas, Advanced Diplomas and ACCA programmes, AEC has launched its Foundation Diploma in English as a Foreign Language programme. Successful students are tested against IELTS equivalent levels as some programmes require that they sit the British Council IELTS test before starting their AEC programmes. This English programme also ensures that students have the requisite level of academic English to eventually progress to full undergraduate degree programmes.
