Why Regent's?
Studying at the English Language Centre offers much more than an academic education – become part of the Regent’s community, immersing yourself in student life on campus:
- Our secure campus is set in a quiet, leafy park in the centre of London – offering a safe respite from the city, with gated access and a 24/7 security presence
- Access everything the University has to offer, from sweeping lawns to breakout study areas, a library, IT suites, cafes and bars
- Experience a taste of student life – attend extra-curricular activities including Conversation Club and mix with students across all degrees and nationalities
- Enjoy practical learning – join walking tours to improve your fluency and test your language skills through mini challenges as you explore the city
- Receive personal support from our student wellbeing team and book one-to-one sessions with friendly advisors – just like a full-time student
- Join a tailored induction programme built specifically for our ELC students – introducing you to campus and helping you access the library, study rooms and your student email

Health & safety
We’ve been working hard to ensure the safety of our students and staff on campus. Here's what we're doing:
- Providing students and staff access to rapid COVID-19 tests, taken twice a week
- Hosting testing and induction sessions online, rather than in person
- Spreading classes across campus, using larger classrooms and staggering break times
- Increasing ventilation, making hand sanitiser widely available and regularly cleaning classrooms
- Encouraging students and staff to wear a mask and utilise a one-way traffic system
