This is a three-week course for non-native-English-speaking international university students. It will help you improve your English language skills and learn more about British culture.
You'll develop your English-language skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing. This is done through task-based activities and a primary research project - these emphasise helping you to communicate better.
You'll also:
visit places of cultural interest in London, e.g. museums and art galleries such as Tate Britain and the London Transport Museum
experience life at a top UK university in the heart of London
be able to attend lectures by UCL academics
The course runs in both the spring and summer.
