Melbourne is the state capital of Victoria in Australia’s south-east. Founded in 1835, it has grown from a small rural settlement on the Yarra River to become Australia’s second largest city of some 3.7 million. Melbourne is an important centre for culture, sport and finance and in recent years has gained a reputation as a very innovative and forward-thinking city. There’s a definite ‘buzz’ about Melbourne, which makes it a very exciting and vibrant place to learn English.
Students learning English in Melbourne will follow a General English course, offered by a well-established school with a fantastic location on Queen Street. Accommodation is offered with English-speaking host families to ensure full immersion in the English language throughout the course. The school also organises a programme of sporting and cultural activities for students to enjoy in their spare time after class, ensuring that they make plenty of friends too.
