Before entering the specialized degree programs of YIC, students participate in the Preparatory Year Program, which includes 20 hours of English language tuition per week. There are two separate intensive English programs, corresponding to the two main tracks existing in the College: technical and business. Both of these programs share identical reading and writing components but separate ESP curriculum. On successful completion of the preparatory year program students will have improved their level of English enough to enable them to participate in degree level programs. Further English language courses are essential components of all the College's degree programs. As a result, the students' English language ability continues to improve as they progress towards graduation.

“They who in folly or mere greed
Enslaved religion, markets, laws,
Borrow our language now and bid
Us to speak up in freedom’s cause.”

Nay, her foot speaks; her wanton spirits look out
At every joint and motive of her body.”
