Leicester Discovery

About

The Leicester Discovery International Summer Programme is aimed at students of all disciplines who wish to experience a taste of studying at a British university whilst learning about life in the UK and improving their English and academic skills.

The course consists of daily English classes, focusing on both general and academic English, with particular emphasis on speaking and listening skills. Students will undertake a basic research project leading to a poster presentation as part of the course.

There is a varied activity programme giving an introduction to different aspects of British life, such as history, cuisine, sport, film, museums and shopping including day trips to places of interest. Alongside this there will be evening social activities with students from other international summer programmes and a closing ceremony with prize giving and award of certificates.
