Curso: Inglês como Língua Estrangeira (EFL) - Online

As some countries are still facing travle restrictions, we are currently recruiting for an online IELTS preparation course.

English as a Foreign Language

The course is designed for advanced students which want to understand complex English text and abstract topics. With English classes covering a variety of topics, it is the perfect course to learn and improve English whilst discovering British culture.

In class, there's a chance that you'll be working and learning alongside students of all ages, from different continents and with different backgrounds, specialities and objectives. You might, for example, find yourself in a class with doctors, footballers, lawyers, high-school or university students, chefs, teachers, pharmacists, engineers, mechanics or those who are still considering their next steps.

If you enjoy meeting people from all walks of life and from all over the world, our International English Department is definitely for you. We have new students starting almost every week throughout the year, which means plenty of opportunities to make new friends.

Enrolment for this course runs every trimester.
