It may surprise many of you but England is not just London. It may surprise you even more to know that we have mountains, lakes,  forests and even nice beaches in the UK. The UK, of course is made up of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and you would be making a huge mistake if on a visit to UIC in London you didn’t get out to see some of the other beautiful places in his country. The UIC Social programme has regular trips out of London to some of the more famous places – Oxford, Cambridge, Stratford, Stonehenge are all easy to visit in a day trip while we have also had school visits further afield – to Edinburgh for example. If you want information on the different trips we offer then just look at the Student Community section on the website or at some of the notices in the e-learning centre. As you are also a member of the International Students House Social Club (you are automatically a member if you are a UIC student) you can book their trips and visits as well. So no excuses to not get out of London for a bit!

We asked some of the staff in the school for their favourite place in the UK – here are some of their favourites:  Neil (Director) Clee Hill (on the borders of Wales and England; Javier (Director of Foreign Languages) St Ives in Cornwall; Sally (Foundation Course manager) Stamford Bridge which is the home of Chelsea and also Lewes which is a small town near Brighton; Sonya (Admissions) Edinburgh; Dan (UIC Principal) Whitstable; Susie (Foreign Languages) The Lake District; Ahmed (Financial manager) Old Trafford which is the home of Manchester United; Sofia (Registrar) Walthamstow in London ! Gaynor (Vacation Course Director) Leeds – which is also where she lives and home to the football team she supports; David (Director) The Northumberland Coast; Eddy (English teacher) The Black Mountains in Wales; Martyn (English teacher) Dartmouth; Anika (German teacher) Liverpool; Dominika (English teacher) Brighton; Amelie (French teacher) The Long Mynd in Shropshire – it’s beautiful …… and so on. You can see there’s plenty to do.
