This is what a few international students think about :
Undergraduate Foundation Programme ELPP, followed by UFP Engineering
Applying for: BEng Electronic Engineering at Queen Mary
"I鈥檝e learnt a lot of new skills at ONCAMPUS London, such as how to manage my time and think positively. The majority of students come directly from high school, so the Personal Development Planning course is really useful for this.
The academic feeling of studying at Birkbeck is something I like. The teachers here communicate with us as elder brothers and sisters, making it easy for us to cope with life in London. Most of my classmates do not speak Arabic, which is good for my English."
English Language Preparation Programme
Master鈥檚 Foundation Programme
鈥淏efore starting the MFP, I wanted to improve my English on the ELPP. I can now speak English without thinking! I would definitely recommend ONCAMPUS London. There is a high quality of teaching and it is in a great location.
Last term, I trained to be a Student Ambassador. To do this well, I had to learn how to handle new accents and the culture shock. This experience better prepares me for having contact with people from these countries in the future. Studying here has given me the chance to communicate with people from many different nationalities. I have made friends from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. I love studying in London!鈥
