Triangle

The Centre for English Language Education provides schools and departments with bespoke workshops and courses to improve their students’ academic and communication skills. We offer these in addition to standard courses and one-to-one consultations.

Our course designers and tutors are experienced and qualified specialists in the areas of academic literacies and English for specific purposes, and these courses are designed to meet subject-specific requirements.

Our courses and workshops help students with strategies for academic study and communication, which helps to improve their academic work, language and communication and gain confidence.

The length of our workshops and courses vary, depending on your requirements.
