Summer English course at the University of Exeter with St Andrew's College

General English for ages 9-18: fifteen hours a week, in lessons of 1 hour 30 minutes with breaks scheduled between them. Six levels are taught, from A1+ Elementary to C1+ Advanced on the CEFR scale, and classes hold a maximum of eighteen students. An entry test places every student, teachers hold teaching certificates, and lessons alternate between morning and afternoon slots across the week. The course finishes with a General English Certificate.

The Classic Programme is quoted per stay - one amount for a 14-night stay and one for a 7-night stay; both are in the price list on this page. The price covers tuition, campus accommodation, meals, the activity programme and three full-day excursions a week. The centre runs two terms each summer, each of two weeks, both starting on a Friday, and holds 250 places. A refundable damage deposit is collected for the room and returned at the end of the stay, so it is not part of the course price; a lost key is charged separately. Airport transfers are not included and are priced in the school's own transfer price list. Gold and Platinum upgrades to the Classic Programme are sold as optional extras.

Students live on the Streatham Campus of the University of Exeter, in flats of five to eight students. Each student has an en-suite single bedroom with its own private bathroom, and every flat has a shared kitchen and eating area; appliances and utensils are not provided. Linen is supplied and changed before new arrivals or weekly, towels are not provided. Rooms are cleaned before arrival and weekly afterwards. Student Wi-Fi reaches the accommodation, which sits centrally among the other campus facilities - the canteen, the classrooms and the activity spaces. The university keeps a 24-hour security presence, CCTV and secure access entry systems, and a safe box is available in the centre office.

Meals are served on campus and are part of the Classic Programme: breakfast at 07:30, lunch at 12:30 and dinner at 18:00 on class days. On full-day excursion days students receive a packed lunch, one per full-day excursion and per optional day, as the daily programme sets out.

Evening activities run daily and the day programme is built around sport, arts and performance. The published list includes football indoors and outdoors, volleyball, basketball, touch rugby, badminton, tennis, table tennis, rounders, hockey, yoga, Zumba and fitness classes, dancing and swimming at a local leisure centre, which may carry an extra charge. Creative workshops cover jewellery making, art workshops, mask making, sketching, mindfulness colouring, painting, origami, photography and nature art. Performance and games bring drama, musical theatre, conversation workshops, orienteering, TikTok challenges, capture the flag, talent shows and the Trashion Show, and competitions and championships are organised through each course. The evening programme at this centre runs a welcome disco, a football tournament, culture nights for Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales, a murder mystery, a talent show, a staff-versus-students sports tournament, yearbook making and a graduation. Six full-day excursions a fortnight travel by private coach: the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and Exeter Cathedral in Exeter, Stonehenge and Salisbury, Bristol with a walking tour and its museum and art gallery, Torquay and Plymouth, Bath with the Roman Baths, and a beach day in Weymouth. Entry to Stonehenge, Exeter Cathedral and the Roman Baths is included, and an optional language-based activity day runs in each week.

The campus gives students a common room, indoor and outdoor sports facilities, vending machines and a laundry. Sports facilities include a tennis court and large open fields for football, frisbee and other outdoor games. Wi-Fi is available in the accommodation. The campus also has cafes, a shop, a post office and a launderette, with green areas and gardens throughout. There is no study room, computer room, games console room or swimming pool on site. First-aid-trained staff are on site and the campus security team is on duty around the clock, while reception is not staffed overnight. ATMs, cafes, a convenience store, a post office, places of worship and tourist information are available on campus or within walking distance.

The Streatham Campus of the University of Exeter stands in green, hilly landscape in Devon, in the south-west of England, 0.6 miles from the city centre - a 20-minute walk, five minutes by private coach or fifteen minutes by public bus, with the train station a 15-minute walk away. Exeter is a historic university city with its cathedral, the High Street and the River Exe; Exeter Quayside and the seaside town of Exmouth are both close by. All journeys on the excursion programme are made by private coach. The centre is accredited by the British Council. A centre manager, an activity and excursion manager and a welfare coordinator are on site 24/7; staff wear purple t-shirts and green lanyards, and students wear purple lanyards at all times.
