General English for Academic Purposes (GEAP) The General English for Academic Purposes (GEAP) program is for students who wish to develop their language skills at one of the most prestigious Universities in Australia. Anyone can study the GEAP, even if you only have basic English skills. To ensure you are enrolled in the appropriate level, you will sit a short placement test before your first class. The test involves reading, writing and listening and assesses vocabulary, grammar, written expression and the understanding of meaning in a conversation. You can study the GEAP as a stand-alone program for personal or professional advancement or to gain credit towards a degree in your home University. GEAP can also be used as a pathway to the University of Adelaide if you have not met the minimum English requirements for the Pre-Enrolment English program (PEP).
