Academic Year / Academic Semester Intensive Programmes

The Academic Year (AYP) and Academic Semester (ASP) Intensive programmes are carefully designed to help you gain full confidence in communicating in English over a period of 6 or 9 months. Your programme is planned so you study effectively, improve your English and take at least one recognised examination (IELTS or Cambridge).
