Sussex and Study Group celebrate ISC anniversary. The University of Sussex and education provider Study Group have been celebrating the fifth anniversary of the International Study Centre (ISC) on campus. ISCs are designed to help international students to acclimatise to the UK, equipping them with the necessary skills for undergraduate or postgraduate study and offering successful individuals an assured path onto an undergraduate degree or masters progamme. When the International Study Centre (ISC) was launched at Sussex in 2006, it was the first in the UK. ISC courses have now been delivered at Sussex for five full academic years and a further 12 ISCs have opened across the UK. ISC students at Sussex benefit from access to campus facilities while studying for their foundation or pre-masters courses, which combine academic modules, study skills and English-language training and are validated by the University. When Mohsen Fatoorechi came to Sussex from Iran as a teenager, he spoke very little English.
