Hello again, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to use the caption above. I wasn’t sure about using the term Big News seeing as we are probably one of the smallest schools in the UK. However, we have plenty of big news that we would like to share with you. First though – It’s countdown to the New Year and if you click on the link below, I hope you will be briefly entertained by our New Year greeting video! Please don’t delete us after! I’d love you to read on, catch up on our Big News! All the best Joanna - LanguageUK Video card plus link International Foundation Year (IFY) programme in business Starts September 2013 Do you have potential students who wish to study business, marketing or accounting at a British university? The International Foundation Programme at LanguageUK is designed to give you the skills you need for success on a business degree course in the UK.

The programme takes place from September to May, with final exams in early June, and includes 790 hours of study. Students will work intensively to raise their English level, consolidate their Maths and develop university study skills. They will also gain an introduction to basic Business, Accounting and Economics. The exam-based course leads to certification that is accepted by a wide range of British (and overseas) universities. This gives students the flexibility to apply to the university of their choice. termAM 17 hours per week PM 8 hours per week – Friday afternoons no classes Autumn term Developing English Language Skills English for Academic purposes Mathematics Winter termDeveloping English Language Skills Cultural Studies Study Skills Introduction. to Business Introduction to Accounting & Economics Spring TermIntroduction to Business Introduction to Accounting & Economics Study Skills (20 hrs) Revision (11.5 hrs) Maths 1.5hr classes (10.5 hrs) FINAL WEEKEXAMS Students will also be expected to do 12 hours per week of guided self-study Timetable summary
