English World

This intensive course comprises 20 hours  of study per week. This enables you to develop your all-round skills, as well as allowing special focus on specific areas of interest.  Outside of lesson times, students can make use of quiet areas to do preparation tasks or independent study.

You will be asked to complete an online placement test before your arrival so we can start to assess your level. We also need you to answer some questions about your needs and objectives so that we have a good understanding of what you hope to achieve by the end of the course.

The course is suited to students who need English for academic purposes (such as entry into higher education) and the course is also suited to students who need English for their professional development (such as to develop leadership or management skills in English).
