Libraries and Learning Centres

EISU has its own dedicated Independent Learning Centre. This is based on the Selly Oak Campus and offers a large selection of resources, ranging from self-study books, IELTS exam practice materials, grammar guides and dictionaries to CDs, movies, magazines and graded readers. These can all be borrowed free of charge. 

EISU Selly Oak also has a Learning Resources Coordinator who can provide help and advice on choosing the best resources for your needs and language level, as well as individual tutorials to discuss your requirements and goals and help you decide on a course of independent study.
