The English for Academic Purposes course at Stanmore School of Business was a solid choice for me. As a German student looking to pursue a master's degree in an English-speaking country, I wanted to brush up on my academic English skills. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the key concepts and skills required for academic success, including essay writing, research methods, and presentation techniques. I found the course materials to be well-structured and easy to follow, with a good balance of theory and practical exercises. While I would have liked more opportunities for feedback on my writing assignments, overall I'm satisfied with the course and feel more confident in my ability to communicate effectively in academic English.

Eu estou absolutamente encantada com o curso de English for Academic Purposes da Stanmore School of Business! Como uma estudante brasileira que busca fazer um intercâmbio acadêmico nos EUA, eu precisava melhorar minhas habilidades de escrita e fala em inglês acadêmico. Este curso foi um divisor de águas para mim! As aulas eram dinâmicas e interativas, com materiais de alta qualidade que me ajudaram a entender conceitos complexos de forma clara e concisa. A ênfase na pesquisa, no pensamento crítico e nas habilidades de comunicação foi fundamental para o meu crescimento acadêmico. Os instrutores foram muito apoiantes, e as discussões online com meus colegas foram sempre inspiradoras e motivadoras. Eu me sinto muito mais confiante agora em minha capacidade de produzir textos acadêmicos e apresentações de alta qualidade. Muito obrigada, Stanmore School of Business, por esta experiência de aprendizado incrível!
