Part-time English Courses

Part-time academic English courses for participants whose main language is not English are offered during three academic terms, beginning in October, January and April. All one-term courses are available to both UCL and non-UCL participants who have an academic interest or background.

Most courses run for one term only - either 8 or 9 weeks - and are then repeated the next term for new students. In Term 3, many courses run for 6 weeks with a reduced course fee.

The next programme of courses will begin enrolment in October 2013. The programme is expected to be broadly similar in scope and prices to the 2012-13 courses, but details of any changes will be confirmed here by early September 2013.
