Academic English and Study Skills classes for International Students

This free course is an English programme for international and EU students whose first language is not English.

If you feel that an improvement in your English level would help you to get better marks on your main course of study, this course is for you. It offers support with your academic English and study skills as well as helping you to adapt to the British university system and general life in Britain and is available for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The course is divided into month-long short-courses of two hours per week, which are offered in the following areas:

• Essay and Report Writing            
• Effective Reading
• Listening to Lectures
• Presentation and Seminar Skills                 
• Dissertation Writing                   
• Succeeding at University in Britain

Some are also run as intensive mini-courses on Saturdays. Shorter versions of some courses (3 hours) are also available some Saturdays.

All students enrolled on the programme can also take part in one-to-one tutorials with a tutor to help you with specific English Language questions and challenges.
