ESC has best International Study Programme for 11th year

Lewes campus

East Sussex College has been named as the best Further Education provider for International courses after the British Council led an inspection at the College’s Lewes campus in May.

For the 11th successive year, East Sussex College’s English Language courses at Lewes and Eastbourne have been ranked in the top 5% of all providers, and as the joint-best offered by any Further Education college in the country.

EL Gazette (English Language Gazette), the international news and media company for English Language Teaching, ranked the UK providers based on the summary statements published by the British Council. There were 15 areas assessed by the British Council, which EL Gazette then calculated to create the overall standings.

Mark Allen, Assistant Principal for International & ESOL at East Sussex College, said, “We are delighted to be ranked number one state college by the British Council’s Accreditation UK Scheme. To have achieved this for the 11th year running is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team, and the support we receive from the wider college. This accreditation is a very strong kitemark of the whole college’s quality and something we are very proud of.”
