English language support
To study in the UK as an international student you will need to be able to speak, write and study in English.
Our teachers specialise in teaching international students, and that includes their approach to language. All our lessons are tailored to suit your needs, with language-specific lessons also available. Our tutors will help you progress to the level needed to study in the UK. This will enable you to succeed in your studies and achieve a place at a UK university.
Different courses have different English language requirements, based on the length and structure of the course. We offer specialist English language tuition and support to make sure you are prepared for your chosen programme.
Preparing for your studies
Bellerbys offers English Language Preparation classes for students looking to study A Level, Foundation or Undergraduate Year 1 programmes. You can arrive at Bellerbys before you plan to start your intended programme and spend time studying English in more depth for 1, 2 or 3 terms.
English language modules
The Undergraduate Year 1 and Foundation programmes offered at Bellerbys include core modules aimed to improve your English language ability. These lessons cover everything from discussing academic texts to developing your debating and presenting skills.
As a part of your curriculum at Bellerbys, you will partake in Academic English Skills (AES), which is a qualification that provides you with the thorough training in language and academic skills needed to achieve your academic potential at the university of your choice. Alongside your module lessons, these tests will help you to progress your language skills, as well as helping you in your journey to higher education.
Outside of the College
At Bellerbys, you will be living and learning in a truly international environment. With friends from all over the world, you can use English to talk to one another. This is valuable practice and will help in your lessons. Outside of the school, English will be how you communicate with the people you meet.
