Living and learning English abroad is one of the most exciting and enriching experiences you could wish for. Enrolling in an academic semester/year course is not just an excellent way to prepare for internationally-recognised exams like IELTS, TOEFL, and Cambridge certification, but the perfect way to really become immersed in the culture and language of your destination, make memories, and build long-term friendships to last a lifetime.
What’s an Academic Semester/Year?
Academic Semester and Academic Year courses are long term programmes starting from a minimum of 24 weeks of intensive language learning. No matter how long you choose to study for, this programme covers all the essential academic skills you need to set you up for success, covering areas like giving a presentation, critical skills, overall fluency, and core skills – Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening.
