Summer courses are the perfect blend of language learning and fun! It’s a holiday, but you will be preparing for your future by learning another language too! IALC has summer centres in English, German, Russian & Italian.

Pathway courses  help you to study at a university abroad. They aim to bridge the gap between school and tertiary education ensuring your knowledge, vocabulary and language skills are at the right level for the course you wish to take.
