May 2023 will see the formal launch of our newly established English Language Hub for UK based Arden students, following the successful implementation of our courses and services in Berlin last year. We are excited to be able to provide language support to students who don’t have English as their first language to complement the academic skills support already available to all students.  We are here to help you to improve your fluency and confidence when speaking in English as well as your writing accuracy for your essays and reports which we will do through a variety of services.
