English language courses for those students who need to improve their written and spoken English before starting their professional training.

English language study at West London College

If you would like to study at West London College but you are worried that your command of English might not yet be good enough to cope with a degree course, you can enrol on an English language course first. The College has its own English language school, the British Study Centres School of English, which is located within the College at Hannah House, so you will still feel that you are a West London College student.

How much English?

If you think you need some extra training but have never taken an IELTS test before you should either take a test at your local British Council offices or ask your West London College representative, or some other qualified person, to estimate your level. Whatever you decide, please bear in mind that the length of your English Language course can be changed after you arrive at the College according to your requirements.
