Your personal study programme If you need to develop a high level of English language skills for educational, business or professional purposes, the Academic Study Programme offers you the ideal opportunity. It provides you with a study programme designed to meet your personal objectives, ensuring that your rate of progress allows you to maximise your learning potential.
Course durations You can enrol for varying periods from 24 to 60 weeks depending on your initial level of English, the level you wish to reach and the examination qualifications, if any, you wish to obtain.
Course content Among the most important features of the Academic Study Programme are its flexibility and its options. You can concentrate on intensive general English study, or you can tailor your course to the precise needs of your academic, business or professional career.
Educational advice The Academic Study Programme is designed to give you the best possible preparation for the next stage of your academic or professional career, and this is particularly important if you wish to study at an English-speaking university. Every part of the programme - from your intensive English training to your special study options, examination options and your reading and writing skills - will contribute to your success. It is not necessary, however, to make your final choices when you enrol. Our Educational Advisers will assist you in choosing your study options and monitor your progress throughout your course. If you plan to continue your education in Britain, they will guide you through the process of applying for a place at the university of your choice.

Those scheduled for 2015 are: 3 April, 6 April, 4 May, 25 May and 31 August. If your entry date coincides with an official holiday, your accommodation will still be reserved for you from the Sunday before your course commences, and we would advise you to plan to arrive on that day. Your course will begin with the entry test on the next working day following the holiday. No compensation, fee reductions, refunds, credit, additional lessons or extension of the course can be given for days when the school is closed because of official holidays.

This will be automatically reserved and invoiced. If you do not require this accommodation, you must inform us at least 4 weeks before the holiday period and we will arrange a full refund.
UK visa requirements If you are unsure whether you will need a visa to study in the UK, visit the Home Office website at: www.gov.uk/visas-immigration You may also wish to consult your nearest British Embassy or Consulate. If you require a visa in order to study in the UK, we strongly recommend that you apply as early as possible for your course as the application procedure may take several weeks to complete. Before issuing a visa letter, Anglo-Continental must be in receipt of a deposit of £ 500 (deductible when you pay your fees) or the full amount of the fees due. Before assigning a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS), the full amount of the fees will be due unless you are government sponsored. It is your responsibility to ensure that you apply for the correct type of visa to allow you to study at Anglo-Continental for the entire period of your course(s). You must ensure that all details on your confirmation documents (including the visa letter or the CAS) issued by Anglo-Continental are correct before you apply for your visa. Anglo-Continental cannot be held liable for any errors that occur during the visa application process. It is also your responsibility to continue to maintain the correct immigration status to study at Anglo-Continental for the duration of your course(s). Failure to do so may lead to termination of your studies without refund or compensation. We strongly recommend that you send a scanned copy of your visa to us to check prior to your departure to the UK. Refund guarantee Should your application for a visa be refused, we will refund any published fees paid by you (after deduction of an administration charge of £ 50) provided that you send us a copy of the letter of refusal before the intended start date of your course. Any additional charges for services provided by a third party (such as CAS charges, hotel accommodation, flat rental and courier services) are not covered by this guarantee.
