Our Director of Studies, your Academic Mentor and teachers will help design a study path to fully suit your level of English, your academic needs and your learning goals.
Services for Academic Year Programme students
Your Academic Mentor, class teachers and the Director of Studies will keep in touch with you and monitor your progress throughout your stay. You are provided with:
- A personal mentor (a senior member of the teaching staff) who will provide academic guidance, advice and support in order to help you to make the most of your studies.
- Seminars and career guidance – a series of informative seminars on subjects such as CV Preparation, Interview Techniques and Further Study Options.
- Internship options allowing you to gain valuable insight into your chosen field working in an English-speaking environment (please note, INIS guidelines apply).
Please Note
Students at the appropriate level may incorporate afternoon course options into their study programme. AYP3 is also compatible with preparation for recognised examinations including IELTS and Cambridge examinations.
Academic Year Programmes may be subject to change as a result of updates to the current Immigration Guidelines and Procedures.
Immigration regulations require all non-EU students to undertake a recognised examination at the end of an Academic Year Programme. Recognised Examinations accepted by Immigration include IELTS, Cambridge Examinations, Oxford Exam and the Test of Interactive English (TIE).
