Stepping into the world of higher education is an exciting (and sometimes scary!) experience; it’s your chance to meet new people, explore new surroundings, and broaden your cultural and intellectual horizons. If one of your goals in life is to study at a top English-speaking university, then a course in Academic English is the place to prepare for your journey.
Learning English at one of our EC English language Centres will give you the tools and confidence needed to reach your potential and achieve academic success. Our Academic English programme allows students to focus on key skills like writing assignments, listening to lectures, taking notes effectively, and giving presentations.
The course is perfect for students who:
- Are interested in attending university in an English-speaking country
- Want a rigorous course focusing on academic speaking, reading, and writing
- Want to ease the transition into higher education
