Gateway Programme
English for Personal, Professional & Academic Development
Joining our Gateway programme will give you the opportunity to develop your general English skills while addressing more specific personal, professional or academic needs through our Target Modules.
The structure of the course enables students to follow different pathways according to their aims and objectives and has been carefully designed for two broad groups of students:
- Students who are intending to study or carry out research at a British university. (Students returning to their home university, visiting research students and academics may also find the course useful).
- Students who wish to improve the overall proficiency of their language for personal or professional reasons.
For further information please see our course description.
