A client of British Council Peru is looking for a university in the UK to provide an intensive 2 or 3 week Academic English course (CEFR B1 – B2), which is to be complemented by a content-based programme with a focus on New Technologies (cryptocurrencies, blockchain), Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
If you are not a university, at least 50% of your proposal will need to be affiliated with a university as the Peruvian university looks to award credits to their students for their time in the UK.
In the mornings, we would like the proposals to include an EAP programme to develop academic skills such as reading and writing for academic purposes, developing effective oral presentations, and the like. In the afternoons we would like proposals to include classes or seminars that offer cross-curricular academic experiences in areas related to new technologies and innovation and a programme of activities and visits related to the above, for example, lectures or department visits, visits to sites in the UK relating to management and innovation. This leading Peruvian university wants its students to enhance their academic language skills, immerse themselves in a UK Higher Education environment and experience British everyday life with the purpose of enhancing intercultural skills.
