Intensive English Program

CU Ajman offers an Intensive English Program (IEP)for students who would like or must pass the TOEFL or IELTS.

  1. The applicant must demonstrate an acceptable competency level in English equivalent to an EmSAT score of 1100, or TOEFL score of 500 (paper-based), or 173 (computer-based), or (61 internet-based), or its equivalent on a standardized English language test, such as Band 5.0 for IELTS Academic or another standardized, internationally-recognized test that is approved by the Ministry of Education-Higher Education Affairs (see table 1). This condition applies to all students, including those who have previously been admitted to a non-credit bearing intensive English language program or remedial English course.
  2. Applicants who do not have the minimum required EMSAT (1100 score), or TOEFL (500 score), or IELTS Academic (5.0 score) in English, must study in the Intensive English Program (IEP).
  3. Students may only register in four General Education Program courses while enrolled in the IEP. The General Education courses are Computer Fundamentals, University Mathematics, Islamic Studies, and UAE Studies. They can complete the course and try to get a passing EmSAT score. If they don’t, they repeat until they pass; however, when a student achieves a passing EmSAT score, they may exit the program at once (see table 2).

The Table 1 shows the MoE approved Tests and Equivalent Scores for English Language Proficiency.

EMSAT TOEFL IELTS Academic
950-1075 450 (51 iBT) 4.5
1100-1225 500 (61 iBT) 5.0
1400-1525 550(79 iBT) 6.0

The Table 2 below shows the way students in the IEP can progress through courses, along with the five General Education (GED) courses they are permitted to take:
