Virtual Buddy Exchange Programme

Virtual Buddy Exchange Programme offers you the opportunity to meet a foreign buddy and chat about your favourite topics while improving your English/other foreign language and learning about a different culture.

English Language Integration

Students attend a local secondary school in the same way as the English students following the National Curriculum. They will each be introduced to an English speaking buddy who will help them to find their way around and get to grips with the English schooling system. 

English Courses

Students attend English language lessons by a fully qualified English teacher in addition to a full schedule of activities and excursions at the evenings and weekends. From day trips to London and famous Universities of Oxford to sporting activities such as tennis and golf. Staying in a host family, students learn a great deal about English culture and lifestyle.

Accommodation

We provide students with the best solution to meet their accommodation needs and budget by offering a great choice of safe, comfortable and affordable accommodation options from homestay to university residences.
