High-quality intensive English courses for intermediate/advanced students

 

Our courses

Southampton English Language Centre specialises in short, intensive courses for those in the intermediate to advanced ability range. The School is not open all year round, but operates in two seasons: spring and summer. Most courses last three weeks; occasionally we also offer one of two weeks. Courses offer 18 hours of tuition per week.

At the beginning of every course there is a placement test, after which students are put into groups according to their level. Courses normally have two ability groups; average group size is 10 - 12.
