Essential Preparation for University

The Concorde International University Access Course is NOT a standard English course. As well as general language improvement, we understand that students going on to higher education also need academic and research skills.

The aim of our University Access Course is to ensure that students are fully prepared, both linguistically and psychologically, for entry onto an Undergraduate or Masters programme in England and that they are therefore in a position to obtain maximum benefit from their studies. The courses have been divided into two main areas of study: Academic Skills Development and Language Development (including, but not limited to, IELTS preparation).
