UNILIFE

Our summer programme not only uses our unique

Online Learning Platform, including IELTS preparation

and practice exercises to teach the course, but

it also incorporates our ‘UniLife’ project work.

Working in groups, and with the support of an

undergraduate, our students will undertake university-

style project work to help them with their learning

of the English language while also increasing their

knowledge about the university experience.

Here at Redwing, we like to do things differently.

In addition to the traditional classroom lessons,

students will have access to our bespoke online

platform, ensuring that your students are engaged

and can follow their progress through the course.

We have created the content ourselves, and

we tailor the course to the specific locations,

taking into account the excursions, activities

and unique experience of each location.

Students have access to our Online Learning

Platform for up to a month before they arrive,

and the possibility to continue their studies for up to

6 months after they leave, ensuring they achieve

the maximum benefit from their time with us.
