I'm thrilled to have taken the English for Academic Purposes course at Stanmore School of Business! As an international student in the US, I needed to enhance my academic writing and presentation skills to succeed in my graduate program. This course exceeded my expectations in every way. The instructor's feedback on my assignments was invaluable, and I appreciated the opportunities to engage in discussions with my peers. I gained practical knowledge on how to structure a research paper, cite sources correctly, and deliver effective presentations. The course materials were relevant, up-to-date, and easy to follow. I'm confident that the skills I acquired will serve me well in my future academic pursuits. Thanks to this course, I feel more prepared to tackle the challenges of graduate school and achieve my goals.

I took the English for Academic Purposes course to improve my language skills and prepare for a master's program in Europe. The course was really helpful in terms of learning how to write academic essays and reports. I liked the fact that we had to work on real-life projects, such as writing a research proposal and creating a presentation. The instructor was supportive, and the feedback I received was constructive. One thing that I found particularly useful was the emphasis on critical thinking and analysis. The course materials were good, but sometimes I felt that they could be more detailed. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course, and I think it's a good option for anyone who wants to improve their English skills for academic purposes.
