Ratcliffe College International Summer School is an intensive English language programme that has been combined with an exciting range of activities, subject specialist academic lessons and plenty of opportunities for immersive cultural experiences, all taught and delivered by Ratcliffe academic staff.
Throughout the programme, International students develop their English Language skills guided by subject specialist teachers. The programme offers a chance to meet like-minded people from across the globe, sharing their language culture and talents.
At Ratcliffe College, students are encouraged from the moment they arrive to speak English, swiftly developing their vocabulary and confidence. With this in mind we recruit a sensible balance of students from a range of nationalities so that they are able to easily integrate with one another through activities on offer.
Integration with Ratcliffe students
From bonding over shared adventures to diving into a jam-packed schedule of activities, international students attending the Summer School have endless opportunities to integrate and form great friendships, while engaging together in a wider range of afternoon activities with Ratcliffe day students who attend the Summer School every day (Monday – Friday).
International students may join our Summer School for a minimum of one week, to a maximum of four weeks, departing or arriving every Sunday. With so many activities on offer, we sure hope you will join us this summer for an unforgettable experience.
