1) There is basically no requirement for entrance language scores. However, it is required to attend the language intensive class of our language training center before the specialized courses to ensure that we can adapt to the English specialized courses. The time to learn English varies with everyone's language level, and only those who pass the exam can enter professional courses.
2) There is no requirement for entrance language scores. Moreover, there is no language training course in our school, and students are only interviewed for comprehensive quality including language ability before enrollment. For such schools, we help students arrange English training in the city where the university they apply for is located. The training school is a professional English training school, and professionals guide the comprehensive quality interview to ensure the smooth registration. The language training fee is about $500/month (4 hours a day, 5 times a week).

It is best to register a few months before the start of school, so that you can start English classes and take professional classes at the same time to adapt to professional study as soon as possible.
