Industry: Education
UIC offers to students from more than 50 countries around the world the chance to master the global language of our times, English. Located at the heart of the British capital, the school's facilities help foreign students to familiarise themselves with London and explore the ins and outs of Europe's most vibrant city.
UIC University Foundation Course
Apart from language courses for students and professionals, UIC has formed a joint
foundation programme with St Mary's University of Twickenham for students aiming to
study at British universities. Based in idyllic Twickenham, the foundation course
allows participants to study a wide variety of academic subjects, partly taught by
St Mary's academic staff. It's an intensive 36 weeks programme, starting in
September and finishing in June, whereas students equipped with a sufficient level
of English may start in January. Finally, students who wish to complete an
undergraduate degree at St Mary's University are able to carry 30 first year
credits, which is about 25% of the credits requirement for an academic year.
Prepare for English Language Exams
Students whose mother tongue is not English and aim to take an undergraduate course
in an English-speaking country are required to sit an exam proving their ability to
speak English fluently, such as IELTS and TOEFL. Tedious as it may be, the process
of delving into the realm of a foreign language can be extremely rewarding and even
fascinating, particularly when it comes along with a combination of listening,
speaking, reading and writing assessments. Among the most prestigious exams that a
student can prepare for at UIC London are IELTS, TOEIC and Cambridge First
Certificate.
A City of Miracles and Wonders
A bustling city such as London offers a unique experience to students from all over
the world, allowing them to explore not only their skills in English, but also their
ability to communicate with their peers in a language different than their mother
tongue and assimilate themselves in a new and challenging environment. It's not
rare for students and professionals to be asked to live and work with people from
different backgrounds and cultures. In other words, for students aiming to boost
their language skills in an English school London can be another type of school,
bigger in size and full of temptations. Besides, UIC is located in Mortimer Road at
central London, just a stone's throw from the shopping frenzy of Oxford Circus and
the characteristically British serenity of Regent Park.
