Online courses for self-enrolment
We have a range of online academic grammar, writing and presentation courses designed for independent learning, with the option to attend weekly live online sessions.
Consultations for writing and presentations
If you would like individual advice and feedback about your academic writing or speaking, you can meet our experienced academic language tutors on a one-to-one basis.
Our programme will help you get more from your degree, by improving your academic language and communication skills while you study.
The Academic English programme has four strands:
