British Study Centres BSC Manchester

School

The only English language school in Manchester accredited by Eaquals, the highest quality distinction that a language school can achieve

Information

The Company’s origins date back to the 1930s when the Cleaver family founded it.

In the early days, British Study Centres (BSC) concentrated on correspondence courses and, as such, were precursors to the Open University, which grew up in the 1960s. The Company overgrew, establishing offices and examination centres across the entire (then) British Empire and beyond and, in the process, becoming the UK’s largest group of correspondence colleges.

Today, BSC specialises in the delivery of high-quality English language training to adults and young learners, teacher training courses for UK and overseas teachers, and University Pathway programmes.

Located in the centre of Manchester, BSC Manchester School is the perfect place to study English whilst experiencing life in a lively and exciting location.

The English language school BSC Manchester is long established and is the only Eaquals accredited school in Manchester.

BSC Manchester is a big building with bright classrooms set over four floors.
