Accreditation

We are proud to be recognised as the joint number one University Language Centre in the UK for the last six years, according to the EL Gazette University Language Centre rankings from 2019-2025.

UCAE is accredited by the British Council, a globally recognised mark of excellence. This accreditation guarantees that our teaching, student support, and facilities meet the highest international standards and provides students with confidence when studying with us.

Our 6-week Pre-sessional course is accredited by BALEAP, the global benchmark for English for Academic Purposes (EAP). This accreditation confirms that our courses meet the highest standards for preparing students for academic success at university.

It ensures that our teaching, assessment, and support are tailored to develop essential skills such as academic writing, critical thinking, and independent learning.

Recognised internationally, BALEAP accreditation gives students and institutions confidence in the quality and credibility of our EAP provision.
