Under the guidance of skilled teachers, you will quickly acquire strong communication skills. Three afternoons per week, extra lessons will give you an opportunity to exchange ideas with the other students during exercises on current events.

You will enjoy a very attractive programme in Yale!
Please note: some lessons may be held in the halls of residence.
