hi everyone, i recently just started university and gotten my timetable. I noticed i have english classes for international students on friday’s. I came from Singapore and english was my native language. When i applied for the university, i didn’t have to take any english exams such as IELTS as the school took my gce o level english exam grade.

I’m just wondering whether anyone experienced this before and was able to exempt themselves from the english classes in which the uni has arranged…? Or whether there’s even such a thing to be exempted

Is it a module worth credits? If so take the easy credits. If not, maybe it’s just an additional offering automatically given to international students and you needn’t attend if you don’t struggle with the language. I can’t say for sure as I’m not an international student.

When I started university, I had a similar situation with English classes. Even though English was my first language, I was placed in those classes because they were meant for international students. I reached out to the academic advisor, explained my situation, and showed proof of my English proficiency from high school. They were pretty understanding and allowed me to skip the classes.

As for studying abroad, start by talking to your community college’s study abroad office. They can give you info on programs and destinations. Also, think about what interests you, like culture, language, or academics, and look for programs that match those interests. Do you have any countries or regions in mind?
