This program offers our most intensive class schedule and most flexible entry dates. You will love its unique balance of classes and activities.
As a Monthly English student, you will attend English classes from Monday to Thursday, and on Friday you’ll enjoy a variety of opportunities to connect with Canadians and explore Victoria.
One thing I especially enjoyed in my program: international exchange. I have never met so many interesting people in one place. It’s a great opportunity to learn about other countries and cultures.
The UVic ELC has everything you need to learn English such as useful learning tools, modern facilities, and great teachers. So, take advantage of it all and be immersed in English!
I loved having two teachers, one that focused more on grammar and vocabulary and another that focused more on speaking and listening! All classes were very well organized and I could see my progress in the language every day.
It is impossible to not fall in love with Victoria. My experience was amazing, I met great people from all around the world, and I learned much more than English. The city is beautiful and the people are lovely.
This is a full-time program with morning and afternoon classes.
