International English Summer School at New College Nottingham

English Summer School...

• Do you want to improve your English next Summer?

• Do you want to make new friends from all over the world?

• Do you want to stay in one of the liveliest cities in the UK, less than 2 hours by train from London?

If so, come to New College Nottingham and join our English Language Summer School!

For a number of years, we have provided a Summer School General English course for international students of all levels of English. We also have a 4-week IELTS Preparation course. This course is specially designed for learners who need English for study purposes, either to help them at present, or because they are intending in the future to study at a UK university or college. In order to help students prepare for the IELTS examination, there are afternoon classes focusing on examination skills. These can be taken in addition to the morning programme, or as a separate course. We have part time English Language courses available as part of our Summer School as well.
