English Language Institute

Version française


York University English Language Institute (YUELI) offers a range of non-credit, full-time and part-time English-language courses, primarily for students who wish to improve their English language skills for university entrance and/or professional advancement. Programs include:

YUELI Academic - a six-level program offered throughout the year that teaches the language, critical thinking, information retrieval and study skills required to be a successful undergraduate or graduate student in a university where English is the language of instruction. Completion of level six of this program with distinction, Honours or pass (depending on Faculty/program applied for) satisfies York's English language proficiency requirements for entry to most undergraduate and graduate programs.

Pre-MBA Program - a full-time, eight-week program offered twice a year, designed to prepare students who have already earned an undergraduate degree to be successful in an MBA program in an English-medium North American university.

YUELI Bytes - part-time programs (generally two evenings a week for eight weeks) that focus on specific aspects of English language proficiency such as Speaking English, Pronunciation and Business Writing.

Summer Language Program - a special four-week intensive program, offered in July and again in August, which emphasizes speaking and listening in English. Cultural visits and trips are an integral part of each course.

Custom-Designed Programs - developed, often in collaboration with a York Faculty, for specific groups of students with particular educational and/or professional needs. These programs can be delivered on-site at York University, elsewhere in Canada and abroad, or by distance education. Individual tutoring is also available.
