Student Reviews

CULS Review
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
My overall study experience was quite valuable. It brought me some interesting insights from mostly international teachers, I also enjoyed many discussions with them. I slightly missed the real practical experience in the study programme. The overall teaching level of English was quite satisfactory.

Less expensive than France.
