How We Teach
At International House London, we focus on communication and speaking, with student to student interaction being used rather than a more traditional lecturing approach. This makes our English and Modern Language courses both exciting and rewarding, with progress being made very quickly.
A place to live
Whether you are here to learn for a short time or a longer period, we’ll find the right accommodation for you. From living with English families, where you’ll get to use your English in everyday situations, to staying in shared accommodation with fellow IH London students.
Choosing a degree course
With so much choice on offer, it's hard to know which university to go to. The International House University Foundation Programme is independent of any particular university, so we can offer you unbiased advice on degree courses and universities.
