Year 1: Building Foundations (CEFR A2 to A2+)

• Term 1 (A2 Level): Students begin with core language skills, including Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing 1, alongside Grammar and Pronunciation. Essential "Study Skills" are introduced to help students adapt to university-level learning.

• Term 2 (A2+ Level): The curriculum progresses to level 2 for all core skills. Students continue to strengthen their linguistic base with more advanced Grammar and Pronunciation 2.

Year 2: Academic & Personal Development (CEFR B1 to B1+)

• Term 3 (B1 Level): Focuses on "Presentation Skills" and level 3 of core language subjects. This term often includes industry tours and masterclasses to broaden perspectives.
