This course is for students who would like to get a taster of life at university and prepare themselves to study abroad. The campus of University of Sussex in Falmer is the only university campus in England that is surrounded by a National Park, so you can walk straight out of the campus into the wonderful Stanmer Park on the South Downs with views of Brighton's Amex Stadium. The modern campus is just 10 minutes away by train from the cosmopolitan city of Brighton and regularly serviced by buses. The transition to higher education is a significant moment in a young person's personal, social and academic development. Pathways to Higher Education are designed to provide academic training and guidance to ease that transition towards higher education in English for both younger and older teenagers. Students on the Pathways to Higher Education course will follow a more intensive academic programme with a focus on exploring the language needed in university contexts as well as a specific subject area in order to fully engage themselves in the preferred field. This fully-inclusive programme includes age-appropriate social events and recreational activities that make the most of the proximity to Brighton City Centre and coastline. These can include things like outdoor big screen cinema, music concerts, comedy shows, ten-pin bowling or beach visits, designed to immerse students in the English language and culture in a stimulating, fun manner. An intensive two-week IELTS preparation course and exam is also available for students (aged 16+) wishing to gain an internationally recognised qualification and those seeking entry to university in the UK. Brighton offers a single bedroom with en-suite bathroom in a modern student residence on campus. Students will be accommodated in flats with those of a similar age and from different countries. Each flat has a big common area with a kitchen and sofas and a fridge where students can relax with their friends, as well as a designated study room per floor for quiet self-study. The Sussex University campus offers various eateries and cafés, an IT centre, on-site supermarket, pharmacy, bars, post office, ATM and a sports centre. Provider: Bede's Summer School.
