More about this camp

The LiA Manchester Summer Centre runs the Language in Action programme at the University of Manchester. It accepts students aged 12 to 18. Programme and activities. Students take 30 hours of English tuition per two-week term, taught by CELTA-qualified teachers and catering for levels from A1 to C1 — so both near-beginners and advanced students are provided for. The city-centre university setting gives access to Manchester's cultural and sporting life for the activity programme. Accommodation. Students stay in campus accommodation at the University of Manchester, with weekly room cleaning, bed linen and laundry. Living on the university campus keeps accommodation and teaching together. Families should confirm room arrangements and supervision outside teaching hours. Ages, dates and duration. The centre accepts students aged 12 to 18. The upper limit reaches past school-leaving age, so families should ask how age groups are separated. Three arrival dates are listed from early July. Location and travel. The University of Manchester is in the city centre. Manchester Airport is around thirty minutes away with wide international connections, and the city has strong rail links. Transfer arrangements are not published. Who the programme may suit. This centre may suit teenagers wanting an intensive course with qualified teachers across all levels, in a major northern city with a strong identity. The full A1-to-C1 range means it suits both beginners and advanced learners. Given the intake runs to 18, families of a younger teenager should confirm grouping and supervision, and compare with LiA's London and Liverpool centres on city and setting.
