Why study English at CIE?

Pathway to University and Boarding Schools

Our highly-rated Business Foundation course will prepare you for University in the UK and help you to achieve the IELTS score you require. This course is recognised and approved by Oxford Brookes University. We also have a proven record of success in preparing students to attend a UK Boarding School with our Pre-Boarding course. We currently have a partnership agreement with 11 Boarding Schools in the UK.

Study in Small Classes with Personal Support

During the academic year, our class size usually contains no more than 8 students—often half the size of groups at most other schools. CIE's close family atmosphere throughout the academic year helps to make intensive study easier and much more pleasant. Read comments from our students here.

Study in the City Centre

CIE's Bocardo House is in the centre of Oxford, opposite the world-famous Oxford Union. Our busy summer school is also held in city centre facilities, such as Oxford University's Lady Margaret Hall, near the University Parks.

English Courses

CIE is pleased to offer a variety of English language and academic courses throughout the year.
