Who is this book for?

It also presents vocabulary relating to being a student at a university or college in that it covers topics relating to university life. It will be particularly useful forstudents preparing for IELTS, the Pearson Academic English Test or any other examination aimed at assessing whether candidates' English is at a high enough level to study in an institution where English is the medium of instruction. It will be helpful for people who need to attend -or indeed give - lectures or presentations in English or to participate in international conferences. It will enable students who have to prepare assignments or write up a dissertation in English to do so in a much more natural and appropriate way.
