International and Bilingual Tracks
Students need an IELTS level of 5.5 to join Stamford’s undergraduate program. Those with IELTS levels below 5.5 join the Stamford English Program.

Bilingual Program
Siriporn is from Thailand. She took the Stamford English placement test and got EAP200.
She is Thai, loves to study, works very hard, and always gets good grades.

She will have to work very hard, but she will enjoy getting university credits while also studying English.
