About this program

Edinburgh's extraordinary cultural depth makes it the perfect setting for this English and Culture 50+ programme. Designed exclusively for mature learners, the course combines focused English tuition with a rich programme of cultural experiences — castle visits, guided walks along the Royal Mile, whisky tastings, gallery tours and excursions into the Scottish Highlands. Lessons take place in a dedicated group of fellow over-50s, fostering the kind of relaxed, stimulating conversation that accelerates learning naturally. No minimum level required. Available during selected periods throughout the year.
