A UK education will set you apart from others and give you a competitive edge in your future career. You will have the chance to improve your English in England, the home of the English language and there is no substitute for that.
You will benefit from a secure and comfortable learning environment and will study with English students. We are proud of the first class support we provide to all our students.
In January 2007 the College English language provision was successfully inspected by the British Council and this is what they said: “...Students benefit from a high level of pastoral care from academic and International Centre staff, who know them well and are aware of their particular needs. Accommodation systems work well to provide students with comfortable places to live.”
Our overseas students are cared for by staff in our International Centre and our carefully selected home stay providers. Our students come from many different backgrounds, and the College celebrates the cultural diversity that they bring. We offer:-
The cost of living is significantly lower in the North of England which together with our very competitive tuition fees provides excellent value for money.
UK qualifications are highly regarded throughout the world and the decision to study at Wakefield College will be a sure investment for your future.
As part of our regular visits to the different countries our students come from, we arrange to meet parents to give them a personal report on the progress of their son or daughter. Parents really value this contact with the College and can be assured that there is always a person they have met who can be contacted if they have any concerns.
You are important to us at Wakefield College. We appreciate that you need special care and so we provide:-
Airport collection service
Free airport collection to your accommodation from Manchester or Leeds & Bradford airports when you first arrive. We can arrange for students to be met in London for an additional charge.
Additional English classes at no extra cost

A ‘Special Welcome Programme’
