General English
The General English (GE) course aims to improve students' overall English language skills, focusing on speaking, listening, reading, and writing. These courses help students build confidence in everyday communication, both socially and professionally. They also serve as a foundation for further academic studies or career opportunities in English-speaking environments.​
Located conveniently within Melbourne’s Central Business District and sitting next to Carlton Gardens – a beautifully designed park that is home to the Royal Exhibition Building and Melbourne Museum – our campus is a stone's throw away from the University of Melbourne, RMIT, and the State Library.
The campus is easily accessible via public transport, and is in the middle of Melbourne's unique, lively, and international city life. There is simply no better place for students to begin their journey in Australia.
