Our Future Leaders course is for school groups
and individuals who want to gain new skills
sought-after in academic and professional careers.
This programme isn’t an English course,
although the programme is run in English.
It is a programme designed to bring the best
out of each participant and equip them with
skills that will be useful to them in the future.
Students can choose from three project
themes that they will work on before,
during and after the course.
The course runs like a conference, with students
enjoying an exciting programme of guest speakers
and expert lectures. Students also build team-working,
problem-solving, presentation and critical thinking
skills. The two-week programme culminates in a group
presentation and prize-giving ceremony.
Students should be at least B2 level English for this
course. We can offer a free online test for students
who are not sure of their current level.
