'Whatever you choose to do next, your new English language skills will add value to your CV '

Thinking about the next step
One of the great benefits of studying English in the UK is the valuable experience of having lived in the UK for a time. You'll have discovered a lot about UK culture and gained an understanding of the multicultural society in which you will have immersed yourself.

Using English in your work

Potential employers often look for candidates who can demonstrate not only good English and language skills, but also a good sense of motivation and self development - studying abroad can help you achieve this. If you are considering a global career, showing a good understanding of another culture is also a big plus for employers.

If you have taken English language courses together with other subjects taught in English that particularly interest you, this will add a lot to your CV.

Extending your studies

Once you have completed your English language course, you'll be better equipped to take further courses in the UK that demand greater proficiency in the language.
 
For example, there are a wide range of practical, vocational and skills-based courses in subjects such as catering and hospitality, engineering, art and design, or business.

Use the Education UK Search tool at the top right of each page to check out the courses that are right for you.
 
Heading to university

If you decide to go on to study at university in the UK, again the Education UK Search tool is a good place to explore the courses available.

If you're not quite ready to apply to university, consider enrolling on an International Foundation Year (IFY) study programme, where you study the subject of your choice together with academic English to help you reach the level required for university study. It will help you get off to a flying start!

IFY choices include business, art and design, science, and tourism - plus much more! - and are often linked to degree courses at local universities.
