5. Student experience
My course is really useful.
I am new to studying business and the
business modules on my course are helping
me to have a thorough understanding of the
essentials of business study.
The English language teaching is very good,
with helpful teachers. The course is good
preparation for studying at a UK university.
As well as improving my English I am learning
skills that will help me in my degree, such as
essay-writing and presentation skills.
