Welcome to ELCOS
The English Language Centre for Overseas Students (ELCOS) provides English language courses and study skills for international students at Bangor University.
We aim to improve our students’ language ability and skills, introduce them to British culture, and to the academic skills needed to study in the UK. We also support international students who are on academic courses at Bangor University. Our students enjoy high quality courses and support, and soon become part of the exciting and friendly community of Bangor University.
Please note: Due to the ongoing N-Covid-19 situation in the UK, all ELCOS Pre-sessional and Language Improvement courses will be online only until further notice. For students who come to Bangor, we will schedule regular one-to-one tutorials & small-group discussions in addition to your online classes – you will also be welcome to attend any events organised by the university or the Students’ Union. We look forward to welcoming you, wherever you are in the world.
Please keep checking our web pages for updated information.
