The IELI offers 3 semesters of intensive English language instruction per year.

IELI serves students from the high-beginner through advanced levels. Applicants should have some basic knowledge of English (for example, they studied English in high school). If you are not sure of your level, take the Cambridge placement test to see if you are prepared for the IELI program. The IELI English language program is suitable for students who score 7 or higher on the Cambridge test.

Students who have never studied English and are unable to take the test, or who score lower than 7 should apply to a program that offers basic English.
