I chose to take a Mini Group course at Brighton because I wanted to receive better individual attention so that I can advance my English faster. Before coming to EC Brighton I studied at EC Cambridge where I had already improved my English a lot. Teachers at EC are excellent, all staff are very friendly and helpful too, and if you have a problem they will find the best solution for you.

Mini Group 20/30If you would like to receive a greater level of individual attention, resulting in a faster rate of improvement,
the Mini Group course is ideal. Class sizes are small, allowing teachers to tailor the course to the
students’ needs.
More individual attentionStudying in a class of just 6 students allows you to spend more time in direct contact with your teacher. Accordingly, you will find that your specific needs can be identified, monitored and met by your teacher, allowing more feedback, encouragement and help.
Flexible and personalDynamic teachers and small class sizes allow lessons to take a natural flow. Your course will cover the language areas and skills that you need to focus on.

The University & College Preparation Courses was a brand new product whose brand needed to be created from scratch. The idea was to create a brand which acted as a derivative of the existing EC brand.
However as this was a much more upmarket product, the look and feel needed to have more of a serious tone. This was achieved with great satisfaction in the brochure created.

I have been studying at EC Boston for six months. My goal is to apply to a top tier university. In the TOEFL class my score
increased rapidly. I developed many skills which will be helpful at university. During the English course I developed grammar
and speaking skills. So, it’s much easier to deal with challenges that appear. After the SAT preparation I feel confident about the SAT. I learned several tactics that helped me during the real test. The Academic
Advisor has helped me with my university placement. It was really helpful. She gave me all information that I needed to apply. In addition she helped with documents,
essays, etc. I’m thankful to all the EC team of professional teachers and staff.

I passed the IELTS exam that was compulsory to study MBA in the UK. EC Brighton was extremely professional in IELTS classes. General English classes were also amazing - a lot of fun, good atmosphere, and friendly teachers. Their ways of teaching really worked in daily life as well; I haven’t faced any difficulties so far. I’m glad that I’m a member of this family.

I am now fluent in English, I got a 7 at my IELTS exam - which allows me to enter a university here in the UK - and I got my job through EC. I enjoyed the time I studied there, the people I met and what the school provided.

EC’s course was very useful - improving my life, my future job and my relationships with other foreign people. Now I want to go back to Brighton for a year so that I do not lose my English level. I hope to see the EC staff again!

I have been at EC for 11 months. Everyone at EC is doing their maximum in order to prepare and help me for university. academic advising put me in the right track of improving my English and finding a good university.

Our Students Steps to University Success
EC Centres have helped hundreds of students gain the required English language skills to attend universities in
the USA and UK. Past successes include students attending Harvard University, UMASS and Boston College in the
USA. Our students have also attended excellent universities in the UK and international programmes in their
own countries.
From enrolling on your Foundation programme to your first semester at university, EC will help you along every
step of the way to your international university or college experience.
I’ve been in Boston for one year. My primary goal is to get a master’s degree in Boston from Cambridge College. The course at
EC was very helpful to get a better GMAT score. The school has helped me as a guide
for my university placement. I went on some university tours with EC Boston. They helped me because I was a bit lost with all
of the topics about universities.

”Step 1
Enrolling with EC
Our admissions advisors will advise you of each step of the application process to EC’s foundation programme. They will provide you with a checklist of every document you need to submit, direct you to all of the forms you need to complete and will organise a language level test if you don’t have a recent score. If you don’t meet the required English language level, they will offer solutions through Pre-Sessional English programmes. If you wish to apply to a university through the Conditional Admissions route our advisors will be there to guide you.
Step 2
Throughout your Foundation Programme
Your academic advisor and teachers will provide you with support throughout your foundation programme. You can schedule time to meet your academic advisor whenever you need advice and formal compulsory meetings are included in the course curriculum. During these sessions you may discuss any aspect of your course, whether you have concerns about your progress in a certain area of the programme or your future choice of degree.
Step 3
Applying to Universities
If you would like to apply to one of our partner universities or colleges, or are interested in an alternative institution, your academic advisor will give you all of the support and advice needed to present the best application possible.
University visits, counselling regarding courses and majors, recommendations concerning housing applications and even help identifying potential financial aid possibilities, will be provided to ensure you attend the most suitable university or college for your individual requirements.
Step 4
Your First Semester in University
Upon receiving acceptance to university or college, you will be faced with many questions. Should you need advice regarding acceptance procedure, or, if you have questions about the first weeks at university, our advisors give you all of the information needed to ensure you settle into university comfortably. EC’s advisors will be available to foundation students throughout your first semester at university, should you need further help. The lessons you learn while taking your foundation programme will prove invaluable during your entire degree or master’s programme.
