Staff are invited to the launch of the Academic Centre for International Students (ACIS), part of the Faculty of Humanities on 31 May, 15:00 – 17:00, Hartley Suite, Building 38, Highfield Campus. Please register on Eventbrite before 24 May.
The event will open with short introductory talks by the Vice-President (International), Professor Colin Grant, the Dean of Humanities, Professor Anne Curry, and invited speakers.
The ACIS is Southampton’s hub for language and cultural support for international students. The centre delivers the International Foundation Year, Pre-Masters, English for Academic Studies, and Pre-sessional Programmes, as well as English Language Stages, In-sessional Language Support and many other initiatives.
Internationalisation is one of the four principles of the University’s ‘Simply better’ strategy. The new centre has been created to give colleagues the autonomy and visibility to progress this strategy in relation to the academic support for our international students.
