What are Intensive Academic Year courses?
Structured like a real university year, an Intensive Academic Year course is unforgettable in more ways than one. Long-term immersion and expert tuition help you achieve lasting fluency, while you’ll never forget the sights and experiences you’ll discover.
Our Intensive Academic courses offer you the maximum classroom time each week, with extra lessons focusing on specific skills such as Business English, Academic English, Literature or TOEFL /IELTS preparation.
But don’t forget – at Kaplan, exploration and adventure are part of the learning process, so you’ll still have opportunities to get out and enjoy your destination.
- SPECIFIC SKILLS SESSIONS help you eliminate your weaknesses, explore your interests or prepare to achieve the qualifications you need
- IDEAL FOR STUDENTS hoping to progress to university in the English-speaking world. An Intensive Academic course equips you to learn and thrive in an Anglophone academic setting
