About this course
Our long-term Academic Year Programmes (AYP) offer you a substantial level of flexibility. You can combine different modules and courses to suit your individual requirements. Our Director of Studies, your Academic Mentor and teachers will help design a study path to fully suit your level of English, your academic needs and your learning goals.
Long-term programme students usually begin in our Intensive Course to gain a firm understanding of general English skills. Our new ‘Integrated Learning’ curriculum is based on 21st Century Skills such as collaboration, critical thinking and problem solving. Learn more about our modern approach to Integrated Language Learning.
Once you have gained an appropriate level you can take part in our other 20-hour courses depending on whether chosen 20 hours, 20 + 6, or a combination of both, such as our Cambridge and IELTS Examination Preparation courses.
