In-sessional Support

In-sessional Support

Studying at a UK university can be challenging, especially if English is not your first language. Our range of in-sessional courses, workshops, and one-to-one sessions are free and designed to support all international students for whom English is an additional language so that they are better prepared to tackle assignments and complete all tasks that require a high level of linguistic competence. Our support aims to help students gain confidence and increase their chances of achieving excellent results.

International Student Hub

This page aims to put all your needs in one place. The events calendar is updated weekly with academic and social events happening around campus.

An amazing place that will take you through all the realms of English from simple grammar to complicated structures for the assignments. The International College may become a second home for the international students and give them an opportunity to feel comfortable and cosy. It was an honour for me to work with such professionals.
