University of Surrey

Our camp in Guildford is hosted by the University of Surrey, giving international students the chance to live and study on an English university campus. The picturesque Manor Park campus has award-winning facilities, open green spaces, cafés and shops, and is just an hour by train from London.

Summer: 29 June – 10 August 2027

Arrivals: Tuesdays

Class size: Max 15

Programmes: English Language or Young Business Leaders

Airports: Heathrow 50 min · Gatwick 60 min

Academic
Programme

  • English levels: Elementary (A2) – Proficiency (C2)
  • Class size: maximum 15 students
  • Tuition: 15 hours per week
  • Placement test: on arrival

Lessons are topic-based, built around British life and culture, and taught by qualified teachers (minimum CELTA plus a degree). We run a zig-zag timetable, so lessons alternate between mornings and afternoons, and every week ends with a student presentation.

We occasionally receive requests from students outside our 12–17 age range who wish to join as part of a group. Each request is risk-assessed, and final decisions are made by the Designated Safeguarding Lead.
