English for professional communication

Introduction

Effective professional English requires more than general language ability.  Business and Specialist English programmes focus on the vocabulary, communication skills and situations relevant to participants’ professional objectives.

Courses may include English for meetings, presentations, negotiations, written communication and international collaboration, alongside programmes designed for particular industries or professions.

Selected schools can also develop customised programmes for companies, professional groups and international organisations.
