Pathway programmes bridge the gap between an English course and a degree — reaching the required score and academic skills, often with a conditional university offer.
A pathway is the structured route from 'good English' to 'enrolled at university'.
What pathways include
Usually a package of:
IELTS/TOEFL preparation to the required band
Academic writing and study skills
University application and essay mentoring
Sometimes a conditional offer from a partner university
