Student Story
Karima Essid Elazreg, LIC student

"I chose to study at LIC because I heard from my country’s agents that this college is one of the best colleges in Liverpool to provide foundation certificates in many subjects which then leads to study at the University of Liverpool. I had a very positive impression of the college when I first came here. On my first day I met some really nice people who were willing to help if I ever got lost.

I am studying...and I am really enjoying it.

The teaching system here is very interesting. My English language has also improved a lot since I have been studying at LIC. Also our classes are small so we get to have a good teacher/student relationship, where we can get the help and guidance we need. It is also a good way to get to know the other students in the class properly.

There are many good things regarding being a student at LIC but the best is the college is part of the university so you can always feel that you are part of the university and you make the best to get an offer to study in it as well as the teaching technique. "

Karima Essid Elazreg is from Lybia and studied a Foundation Certificate in Science and Engineering at Liverpool International college.
