These long-term programmes, aimed at non-EU students, are designed to allow progression through one to two levels, over an academic year period and to gain a professional, internationally-recognised English qualification. Students also have the option of working part-time (see below).\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

What is an Academic Year Programme?<\/h3>\n

The 15-hour programme provides a good foundation in the main linguistic skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking, with a strong focus on communication. Most students sit the Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English (ISE) examination, so ISE exam preparation is incorporated into the curriculum.<\/p>\n

Other exam options include FCE and CAE. The 20-hour programme builds on the 15-hour foundation by offering 5 extra elective lessons, in a range of disciplines including conversation fluency, business English and examination preparation.\u00a0The classes are integrated with our General English programmes, allowing for a greater nationality mix of EEA and non-EEA students. Morning and afternoon schedules are available, the afternoon programme is offered at a lower cost.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
