History of the English Language Support Unit
The English Language Support Unit (ELSU) was established in 2000 with the aim of ensuring all CITY College students would have the support and facilities needed to study at under and post-graduate level in the medium of English. We believe language learning is a life-long process and our aim is to encourage all students to become both expert users and independent learners of the language.
Support Offered by ELSU for CITY College Students
Level One (Undergraduate)
Academic English Skills Unit: There are a range of compulsory Academic English courses for all CITY College students during their first year which focus on both language improvement and developing academic fluency and literacy skills
IELTS Preparation: Students who do not already hold a recognized qualification in English will have the opportunity to study and take the IELTS examination with the support of the Unit. This course is compulsory for all undergraduate first level students. For Master's students who are interested in obtaining a recognized qualification, contact ELSU on englishsupport@city.academic.gr
ELSU also recognizes that each cohort of students differ in their English ability and needs, therefore other courses offered as and when there is a demand.
Students are always welcome to drop into the ELSU Officee with questions or queries.
