Goldsmiths - University of London

We offer high quality programmes covering a range of different language abilities and requirements: postgraduate and undergraduate, intensive one-month programmes and supplementary classes.

Our programmes teach English for Academic Purposes - the language, background knowledge and specialist terms you need to study your subject in the UK. English for Academic Purposes Programmes also introduce you to the teaching, study and assessment methods used in UK universities. A special feature of our Pre-sessional, International Foundation Certificate and Pre Masters Diploma programmes is that you can study courses tailored to the arts and social sciences - an area in which Goldsmiths is internationally renowned.
