The teacher really brought the subject to life

I enjoyed learning about lots of different authors and improving my own writing style. The teacher really brought the subject to life.

Preparing for University

Alongside developing academic study skills to help them succeed at university, students will also experience what it is like to study away from home in an English speaking environment.  Students will be expected to carefully manage their time and prepare independent work, whilst also having access to an exciting social programme that will enable them to spend time with like-minded peers.

English for Academic Purposes

Throughout the course, qualified teachers will be available to support students with their English language skills.  This will be particularly pertinent for our modules that focus on academic writing, as students are supported to construct critical arguments using the English language.  Students will also receive support and feedback as to their current IELTS level and how to ensure they achieve the required IELTS score required for their universities of choice.
