Business, leadership and debate summer schools

Business and leadership courses use projects, case studies, presentations and debate to build confidence and communication in English. Some add law, politics or Model UN.

They suit students who already speak English comfortably — usually B1 or above — and enjoy discussion. Compare how many hours go to the subject versus general activities before choosing.

24 courses at 15 schools, 23 with confirmed 2027 dates; weekly course fees from about £1,125 to £3,300.
