PROSPECTUS
 ST ANDREW’S COLLEGE // Welcome

WELCOME
Since 1976, St Andrew’s College has off ered students from all over the world the opportunity to
experience a Cambridge Education.

We offer Pre A-Level, one year GCSE, A-Level and

Foundation courses. The majority of our courses start in
September of each year and finish in June/July.

It is our aim to assist students to reach their full potential

by offering an environment that makes them feel motivated
with a desire to succeed and to be the best they can be. It
is our belief that this will help them to achieve excellent
progress along with academic results supported of our
dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced staff.

I have been Principal of St Andrew’s for almost 17 years. I

use my professional expertise and experience to drive and
inspire our students to maximise their potential. I enjoy
helping students with all of their concerns and questions.

It is important that all our students’ progress to the best

university and degree programme that suits both their
interests and abilities and that will lead them towards
their desired career.

I encourage our students to take part in extra-curricular

activities such as sports and clubs and to take part in
projects such as Young Enterprise as leading universities
tend to offer places to well-rounded individuals with
hobbies and interests outside of their academic discipline.

I hope that you decide to join us at our incredibly special Wayne Marshall, Principal
college in this great academic city. MBA, PGCE

ENGLISH LANGUAGE & SKILLS

A significant part of helping our students prepare for university is focused on developing their level
of English.

Students take EAP/Advanced English classes to expand their knowledge of the language.

The number of classes required per week to achieve this goal is based on a student’s IELTS entry level. IELTS classes focus on
developing strategies for all parts of the test (reading, writing, listening, speaking).

Students develop grammar a range of vocabulary including academic terminology, improve their writing styles, gain confidence
in speaking and improve their English listening skills.

Monitoring Progress

• Students tested on arrival in September and every half • Students supported in identifying what they need to

term focus on in their self-study

• Regular in-class progress tests • Monthly speakers (business and industry, university

• Additional support offered to those experiencing statements, careers etc)
