Information for International Students

Established in 1969, the College has built up a worldwide reputation for excellence, winning the Queen's Award for Export Achievement in 1982. We have thousands of successful graduates worldwide with a distinguished list of alumni.

Unparalleled experience of teaching International students

For over 35 years, the majority of Kaplan Holborn College students came from outside the UK and the EU, giving us a unique understanding of the needs of international students. We offer a multicultural environment, and an infrastructure geared towards the needs of international students

English support classes

We offer support classes in English on all our programmes, allowing students to fast-track their way to a UK degree. For those students who feel more confident of their English, we offer academic writing tuition as a valuable alternative.
