Our intensive English programme is for enthusiastic students who want to accelerate their learning experience by putting their language skills into practice through a choice of electives. The varied learning styles of the Intensive English programme allows students to activate the language studied in their lessons in everyday scenarios and develop their fluency and communication skills, whilst building their confidence and knowledge of English language.
Overview of syllabus
Over the course of the summer, students will put their language skills into practice through varied learning styles, including:
Language Study: The syllabus focuses on contemporary English through topics specifically designed for junior learners. Language study supplies the building blocks students need to communicate successfully with native and non-native speakers.
Language in Use: Students are put in real-life situations to develop fluency and communication skills, building students' confidence and knowledge of English.
Excursion Link Lessons: Before full-day excursions, students learn about the destinations they are about to visit, including the history and culture of the area.
Academic Skills: The academic skills classes give students an introduction to exam techniques to help students improve the skills of academic reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. These classes culminate with students taking the Bucksmore Assessment.
Electives: Students sign up to a choice of vocational subjects to enhance their English usage through different topics such as creative writing, business and IELTS preparation.
Projects: Students are encouraged to work collaboratively on projects. Each weekly project ends with a presentation evening, during which all groups display and discuss their work.

Founded in 1829, King’s College London is one of the oldest university-level institutions in England. The university has 5 campuses although Bucksmore only uses the historic, and arguably, most famous Strand Campus, a short 5 minute walk from Covent Garden.
Bucksmore students studying at King’s College London will benefit from an exciting activities schedule that centres around exploring life in the capital city. All students are provided with a London travelcard so they can visit museums, landmarks and famous city sites throughout their time on their course.
