Our summer programme not only uses our unique

Online Learning Platform, including IELTS preparation

and practice exercises to teach the course, we also teach

via our ‘Uni-Life’ project work. Working in groups, and

with the support of an undergraduate, our students will

undertake university style project work to help them not

only with their learning of the English language, but also

to gain more knowledge about the university experience.

Here at Redwing, we like to do things differently.

Our courses are delivered via 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 they could continue their studies for up to
