Key Features

The course has the following key features:

• It introduces students to the culture and style of UK higher education. This is important because the UK system is quite different to the Uzbek system and it takes time to adapt to this way of learning
• It develops the student’s ability to study in the English language. Without this students will not succeed in their higher level studies
• It lays the foundation of subject knowledge in Business, IT, Law and Economics and helps the student to make an informed choice about their future specialisation
• It develops debating skills and independence of thought. These are fundamental to the British style of education
• It teaches students the study skills they will require throughout their time at university
