ENGLISH PROFICIENCY EXAM
The English Proficiency Exam (EPE) is an examination designed to assess whether students possess the English language skills required to pursue academic studies in their undergraduate or graduate programs.
Students who wish to take the EPE, which is administered during the first or second week of September, must first sit the English Placement Test (EPL). Students who are placed at the Upper-Intermediate level are eligible to take the EPE.
Students who do not place at the upper-intermediate level are placed in the English Language School at the level determined by their placement test results.
Students who are eligible to take the EPE but do not sit the exam, or who do not achieve the required score, are required to study in the English Language School for a minimum of one semester and a maximum of four semesters (two academic years), depending on their level.
