Some international students are keen to get started with one of our business diploma programmes, but would benefit from supplementary English lessons alongside their business courses. This is especially true for courses which use industry-specific language or jargon.

This is a good option for students who understand the concepts, but need a little help understanding. Lecturers in English Plus Business progress the programme at a pace which suits the English level of the class, and explains English concepts and terms throughout/

The programme also has a strong focus on improving communication skills and includes topics about Business English on the levels Intermediate and Upper Intermediate.

This programme spans across one academic year. The programme is comprised of eight courses over four terms. Each term is ten weeks.
