Academic English

Home»Our Programmes»Academic English

Experienced lecturers and a professional study environment ensure excellent standards of tuition, invaluable early experience of university life in the UK and a head-start with their degree. The classes focus on writing discursive essays, practising academic listening skills, developing tactics for note-taking and summarising, and broader skills such as study skills, research skills, critical thinking and cultural awareness.

Who is this course for?

For students who want to focus only on Academic English skills (in particular, writing skills, listening and reading skills). These courses are ideal preparation for Pre-University students who require in-depth training in Academic English beyond the narrow scope of an IELTS preparation course.

Entry Criteria

There are two levels: Intermediate and Advanced. A student should have the equivalent of IELTS 5.0 to join the Intermediate class and 6.0 to join the Advanced class. Upon arrival students will meet with a senior member of our staff to ensure that they are being placed in the appropriate level in order for the student to meet their learning objectives.

How can I progress after this course?

The Academic English courses are ideal preparation for students planning to study at Undergraduate or Postgraduate programmes at the London School of Business and Finance or who are continuing their studies with another university in the UK.
