The School of Languages, Education and Cultures provides stimulating and fulfilling language courses to help students fully develop their English and Chinese language skills. These courses primarily focus on language in an academic context and are designed to support students in their main areas of study at university.

Our students study in small classes, typically 16 students in a class, with the classes taking place in modern multimedia classrooms or in our state of the art language lab. The teaching is generally communicative in nature to help students develop their abilities to use English with confidence during their university study.

In addition to our academic English courses, we also provide Chinese language courses for our international students, and lectures focusing on western culture both in our summer programmes and throughout the academic year.

Accreditation

The School of Languages, Education and Cultures was awarded Validated Programme status for our English for Academic Purposes (EAP) programme in 2023 by the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL). This demonstrates our programme and the School are of high quality and meet internationally recognised standards in language teaching. The English for Academic Purposes grades obtained by students at the Sino-British College are recognized by more than 50 universities around the world.
