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 improve 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 opportunity to practice presenting in a supportive environment. The course materials were relevant, up-to-date, and easy to follow. I've already seen a significant improvement in my writing and speaking skills, and I feel more confident in my ability to communicate complex ideas effectively. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to enhance their academic English skills!

I found the 'English for Academic Purposes' course to be a great resource for improving my research writing skills. The course covered a range of topics, from literature reviews to academic posters, and the instructor provided helpful guidance on how to structure and organize my writing. I appreciated the emphasis on critical thinking and analysis, as well as the opportunities to practice editing and peer review. While some of the course materials could be more tailored to specific disciplines, overall I was satisfied with the quality and relevance of the content. One area for improvement could be more interactive discussions and group work, but overall I would recommend this course to students looking to develop their academic writing skills.
