There may be a delay between applying and being informed if the application has been successful. Those who find it difficult to choose between the BA in ELT or the BA in ESL do not need to decide at the application stage. All students on both programmes study the same academic units in Year 1. It is only in May of first year that a choice must be made and this affects the units studied from second year on. You will have your own single study bedroom on campus just 5 minutes walk from our Centre and your neighbours will be University students with whom you can practice your English.
Most students stay for one term but some continue for two or three terms.
A small number of students come for only four weeks. Full-time students study for 5 mornings and 2 afternoons per week. On the other afternoons they can make use of our self study facilities or they can use the Sports Centre on campus if they wish to become members. Extra conversation classes are available on 2 afternoons as an additional option. Students are given the Oxford Placement Test on the first day of their course.
