Study Group is a global leader in preparing international students for academic success. We provide English language courses and university preparation courses to students from around the world. We have been working in collaboration with the University of Sussex for more than ten years. In this time, we have helped several thousand students prepare for success in their degree studies.

As international education experts, we teach programmes specially developed for students like you. We’ll help improve your English, teach you study skills and ensure you have the academic knowledge you need to progress to the University.

You will study in our International Study Centre on the University of Sussex campus, where you will become part of University life from your first day. You will be living and learning with other international students, taught by expert teachers. We will help you become familiar with UK culture and with the British education system, so that you can easily adapt to your classes and your new home. When you have finished your course at the International Study Centre, provided you meet the required grades, you will progress directly to degree study at University of Sussex.

Study Group is the first private pathway provider to be accepted on to the Office for Students (OfS) Register of English higher education providers. This means we meet the OfS requirements for course quality, academic standards, student support and student protection. Since 1 August 2019, International Study Centre students have been able to access the same range of benefits as students attending other UK public universities.
