What does ABP mean in ACADEMIC & SCIENCE

The Academic Bridge Program provides extensive language instruction on reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and vocabulary needed to be successful in an American university setting. Additionally, ABP offers specialized courses focusing on idioms, slang and other communication strategies used by native English speakers.

Eligibility for the Academic Bridge Program is determined by a variety of factors including previous academic records, age and country of origin. All applicants must submit documentation along with their application materials which can include transcripts from previous institutions attended or standardized test scores such as TOEFL or IELTS.

The duration of time it takes a student to complete the ABP depends on their current level of English proficiency upon entry into the program, as well as their academic goals once they arrive in the U.S.. Generally speaking however, most students complete their academic bridge program within four months but this can vary due to individual circumstances and progress made while enrolled in the program.

In addition to providing language training opportunities, further assistance is available through tutoring, mentorship pairing with more experienced students for peer-based learning activities and access to career readiness workshops for post-graduation job search preparation.
