About us
Our courses
Dedicated, experienced teachers and regular one-to-one

tutorial sessions are just a couple of reasons why students at the
International College reach their goals and progress to fantastic
futures at Bournemouth University and beyond.
I believe the most rewarding

thing about working here
is being able to work in
an environment of many
cultures, from the teaching
and administrative staff, to the
students. Interacting in such
a positive space gives me not
only job satisfaction, but a
sense of having shared values.

Studying my course at the International College has

really prepared me for university and has taught me
important academic skills, such as referencing and
how to write an essay.
I chose Bournemouth because its one of the best
schools for my subject and its on the south coast, by the
beach the weather in Bournemouth is fantastic! It is
the perfect size for a town, not too big but also not too
small. There are many students here, which is great.
