About

This two-week course is for students who’d like to improve their English Language skills whilst learning about the culture & people of the UK. It runs in both Block 1 (7 - 18 July) and Block 2 (18 July - 1 Aug).

It includes classroom-based English studies and plenty of time exploring the city, experiencing the culture, and applying your new English skills! Visits to attractions, museums and galleries are included.

You’ll also take part in interactive workshops, and work on a group project with your fellow students. The project will be related to the culture, history, and heritage of Nottingham or the UK.

During the course you will:
• Complete engaging exercises set by an expert tutor
