Why Study English in Birmingham
Learn English for Work: Birmingham has a lot of opportunities for those who are seeking employment. Many conferences and exhibitions held in the U.K. are held in Birmingham, such as Worldskills UK Live or The National Franchise Exhibition. Consequently, tourism and hospitality are two key areas of Birmingham’s economy. The importance of this sector is always growing, and this can be seen in Birmingham hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games. By studying English in Birmingham, you will be ready and able to take advantage of these opportunities. Also, Birmingham’s history is rooted in its important engineering and manufacturing background, and major companies, such as Jaguar Land Rover and Cadbury, are still based here. These companies employ a significant number of skilled workers. However, the service sector is now Birmingham’s largest employer, and all of these companies require their employees to be fluent in English. Make an investment in your future and start learning with us!
Learn English for Studies: If you want to pursue higher education in Birmingham, you will be happy to know that the University of Birmingham welcomes applications from academically qualified students from all over the world. However, it asks international students to show proof of their English proficiency. You can demonstrate your level of English with IELTS/TOEFL/PTE or alternative official qualifications, which need to have been taken within two years of the start date of your programme. If you have not sat for one of these exams yet, don’t worry! Just get in touch with us and we will start designing an Exam Preparation Course suitable for your needs!
Learn English for Travel and Culture: The 2019 Mercer Worldwide Quality of Living report ranked Birmingham as one of the best places to live in the world. It is also a go-to destination for city breaks. Visitors can soak up a range of cultures and cuisines, including the city’s famous Balti Triangle, home of UK-Pakistani cuisine. There are also numerous music venues, museums, galleries and theatres. If the modern Bullring shopping centre is not to your taste, there are traditional markets and small, independent businesses that thrive alongside the city centre’s historic canal. So, if you do decide to learn English in Birmingham, you won’t be short of places to visit to practise your new skill. Did you know that the city has one of the best train hubs outside of London? You will be able to get around the country and practise your English in new places! And if you would like to go abroad, you will be happy to know there is also an international airport that can take you almost anywhere in the world!
