Choosing to study abroad is a rewarding experience that can help you succeed both academically and personally. At Oxford International, we design our courses to prepare you both for your future studies and beyond.
When choosing a pathway course, you need to know what is right for you based on your academic and personal development goals. Our pathway courses will prepare you with subject-specific knowledge and academic English language skills. Alongside this, our dedicated and friendly college teams will ensure that you have the help you need to adjust to life as an international student abroad.
During your pathway course, you will take a combination of core and subject modules specific to your chosen degree. It’s a great way to get familiar with your subject area while learning core university study skills such as academic writing and referencing. There is still a lot of studying involved, but all our courses are designed to prepare you in the best possible way.
With experienced tutors and small class sizes, you will have the space to develop your confidence while strengthening your university-level study skills. Once you’ve completed, you will continue onto the next stage of your chosen degree course at university.
Throughout your time with us, we will support you to realise your true potential.
As well as modules unique to your specific pathway, you will study one module common to all pathways.
In this module you will receive training in academic writing, reading for study in higher education, listening in the higher education environment, speaking and listening in seminars, and university study skills. You’ll improve your ability to communicate and participate in an academic environment using the English language, and transfer your English language knowledge and skills to support
learning across a range of subjects in business, finance, economics and Psychology.
This course opens up a variety of career options, such as a professional psychologist as well as other disciplines such as healthcare, teaching, marketing, or management. Even if you decide to ultimately not join the world of psychology, the organisational, analytical, and research skills you gain will make you a high-quality candidate for many organisations. Additionally, it will help you learn about yourself and others.
This course will help you develop a broad understanding of business organisations, the economy, markets and finance. Knowledge in this field is helpful to work in almost any sector or industry, giving you varied career options.
