Whether you’re studying at Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD level, English for university is a skill in itself. We have three main services for foreign students who study at or want to apply for university in the UK:
- Free University Entry Guidance & Submission – advice on which course and university to choose and what you need before you apply.

Our partner universities include Queen Mary University of London, University of Bath, Leeds University, Oxford Brooks University, Manchester University, and more.
Personalised University Application Support (extra cost)
Get one-to-one expert help with your university application, including support writing your statement and CV in English to ensure that your application looks smart, and professional and stands out from the competition.
In four sessions spread out over two weeks, our English language experts will help you write, edit and prepare all the documents you need for a UK university to give you the best chance of a successful application. All the information in your application must come from you. So we don’t write the personal statement and CV for you – instead, we show you how to write them yourself in appropriate and interesting English. We also help you with corrections and feedback along the way.

2 weeks (9 hours per week – 18 hours in total)
If you want to go to university in the UK, you need to be able to use academic English. This is quite different from the English you hear tourists speak in your local hotel! On our 2-week English Study Skills for University course, we will teach you how to understand and use the language on a higher level. This includes vocabulary and phrases you will need for you academic essays, some of the finer points of grammar to impress your professor, and, most importantly, how to create the difference in tone and register which separates academic English from what we use in day-to-day life.
This course is available on the following dates:
- 2nd September – 13th September
- 7th January – 18th January
This English preparation course for university is essential if you are getting ready to apply for a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or PhD course in the UK. But it can also be very helpful if you are already studying at a university in London. The skills you learn with us will make your written work better, resulting in better grades for your essays. At the same time, you will practise listening and speaking using the type of academic English that higher education institutions in England expect.
