Academic Subject Programmes
In addition to our bespoke EFL and Open Enrolment programmes, we run lecture programmes for post-doctorate students and groups with near native level English.


It is an opportunity for highly proficient students to experience the tutorial system and be exposed to topic areas outside of their own disciplines. We currently deliver programmes that can be exclusively focused on Business, Economics, Law, Film and Media, Engineering, Physics, Maths, Film and Media, Philosophy, Social Sciences, and Humanities subjects.
Most of our programmes cover a range of disciplines and all contain elements of British Culture. This may include lectures on areas such as: British Architecture, the History of the English Language, Growth of Knowledge, and Social Issues in the UK.
Students attending our lecture programmes are set pre-course tasks that are discussed through our tutorial system. At the end of the programme, all students offer a presentation either on their field of study or an area they have researched during their time with us.
At Hertford, our interests lie not only in the expansion of knowledge but the development of critical thinking; Socratic debate is used to challenge students to become more discerning and innovative in their approach to problems and our lecturers exemplify this through their teaching style.
Our programmes are continually evolving to offer a broad spectrum of leading edge topics. We are always interested in expanding our subject base and would be delighted to discuss further ideas with our university partners for future collaborations.
