PATHWAYS TO HIGHER EDUCATION
This intensive study programme, with 25 hours of lessons per week, is specially designed for older teenagers and young adults who are preparing for further academic study or for the start of their professional life.
SPORTS & ACTIVITIES (AFTERNOONS) After lessons, the English for the Future students participate in a variety of sports and recreational activities, whereas the Pathways to Higher Education students can opt in to take part in them or enjoy free time after classes. Students will be able to choose their preferred sport or activity. Examples are: Aerobics, Dodgeball, Rounders and Volleyball. SOCIAL EVENTS (EVENINGS) For the English for the Future students, social events are always the perfect time for students to mix and enjoy themselves with their new friends. They may include: Fashion Show, Karaoke and Talent Show. The Pathways to Higher Education students will make the most of the culturally vibrant and dynamic city of Brighton by taking part in the great range of events and opportunities at their disposal. The social programme will see students attend music and comedy gigs, visit the famous beach and pier, as well as visit Brighton’s many attractions and shop in the unique and quirky ‘North Laine district’ during their stay. EXCURSIONS We offer students the opportunity to visit places of cultural and historical interest, as well as chances for sightseeing, shopping and amusement. Uniquely, for weekends, Bede’s Brighton students will consult with the Bede’s Summer School Activity Manager to help design their own excursion programme for evenings and weekends. This means that the destinations and attractions can vary according to the wishes of the students and utilise the best of Brighton, London and other places of interest in the south of England.
