Echoing this are its students. “The Brunel Language Centre course helped me learn more about the British education system in a short period of time,” says Alvis Sun. “On top of that, there were many opportunities for group work in our classes, which helped me communicate with my classmates in my programme more confidently. Our teacher would point out any problems and recommend the skills we should work on,” adds Sun. My teacher sent me some websites and audio recordings, which really helped.”
Over 10 years of experience has allowed Brunel Language Centre to develop a range of engaging, interactive courses suited to international students, working professionals, and those who want to improve their English for their own satisfaction. You can choose to study either face-to-face or online.
A popular programme is the Summer Courses for Professionals programme, which gives you the option to study English from one week or more in July/August in the UK or in your own home country. The programme is designed to guide you through whichever area of English you wish to improve, ranging from working on your everyday English or the English language skills you may need in a working environment, such as for presentations, meetings and negotiations.
The course can be tailored according to your needs: you can choose to study either 15 or 25 hours a week for anything up to 8 weeks. Choose to study in a small group of like-minded people from across the globe or enjoy exclusive one-to-one training.
Anyone over the age of 18 and of any profession can join. All you need to do is complete an application form.

In addition to the summer courses, you can choose the English@Brunel programme, which covers English for general, academic, or professional purposes. Courses run for 7 weeks or more during the months of September to May. Classes are limited to a maximum of 14 students, allowing for opportunities to directly engage with Brunel’s host of professional, highly-qualified tutors. This means that you will receive the advice and guidance you need to really improve your language usage. “Now I feel that I have a large bank of words, which not only helps me read academic articles, but watch English TV programmes, too,” says Chinese student Qian Jeong.

“The teachers gave us examples and exercises to improve our research skills,” shares Samar Sawadi, a student from Saudi Arabia. “With these skills, I feel more confident to face the challenges of my Master’s degree.”
The course is a great tool to gain more confidence in academic study, from research skills to learning how to effectively communicate in the classroom. “The writing and presentation skills I learnt helped me integrate into my Master’s programme more quickly,” says Ling.. She is currently pursuing the MA Education programme at Brunel. “These sessions taught me how to enhance my academic and critical analysis skills,” shares Nikoloas Chintzis, a BSc Law student at Brunel. “This helped me achieve high marks in my exams and assignments.”
The greatest takeaway from these lessons, however, is the chance to interact with like-minded students across Brunel’s close-knit, friendly, and helpful network of students and faculty members. “I really like being part of the Brunel community,” says Jeong. “The students are from different cultures and different parts of the world.”
“It’s been great to meet international students from this course and make friends from all over the world,” agrees Sawadi.
