One of the main reasons students choose to come and study with us is our location. We are in Mortimer Street,  a  5 minute walk from Oxford Circus and Oxford Street. We are also only a 10 minute walk from Regent’s Park. Oxford Circus is served by 3 underground lines – the Central , Bakerloo and Victoria and is really easily accessible from all parts of London. There are dozens of different buses that pass Oxford Circus.

The school building is part of the Crown Estate (owned by the Queen!) and was originally a part of Westminster University. The school building has 4 floors, of which we normally occupy 2, expanding to 3 in the summer. There is a lift in the building.

The UIC operations have 10 classrooms which seat a maximum of 14 students each. The total number of students we can teach at any one time in our main building is 130. Some of the rooms are equipped with tables and chairs, others with seminar style chairs which can make for a more convenient style of teaching when communicating is the priority. Classrooms are all equipped with appropriate technology – CD players, TVs dvd players are also available.

Rooms are all bright and well lit, there is air-conditioning where and when appropriate.

We have a cafeteria where you can get freshly prepared food, internet enabled PCs in some of the classrooms as well  as the café and wi-fi throughout the building. We have an internet room with 10 PCs and we are building an up to date internet classroom which will be ready for September 2009.

There is also our main office / reception where you can find our registration team and student services. We have teachers’ room, and offices for the Director of Studies and Principal.

In the summer we use additional classrooms at the University of Westminster – in nearby New Cavendish street. This is no more than a 10 minute walk; we usually have between 6 and 8 rooms there and also an office and teachers’ room. The university provides many facilities – for example, IT facilities, a cafeteria and a bookshop. We also sometimes use classrooms at the School of Economic Science which again is a 10 minute walk away. Classrooms in both these buildings are really very comfortable – light and quiet.

We are continually updating the equipment in the school and trying our best to provide the kinds of facilities you want. Being in central London there are many many cafes, restaurants and snack bars as well as libraries and internet facilities. If you ever need something that is not in the school you simply have to ask.
