Academy Royale International FAQs

Common questions about Academy Royale International programmes, student support and applications.
Are airport transfers provided?
Academy Royale International provides airport transfers for all of our campuses at an additional price. You can book now through a member of our sales team, or find out more here: https://www.academyroyaleinternational.com/useful-information/transfer-service
What level of English is required to attend one of your programmes?
English-language requirements vary by programme. Students should have at least B1 English for Learn English programmes, B2 for IELTS Preparation, and C1 or IELTS 6.5 or above for academic programmes. Students who have studied at an English-speaking school for two or more years are exempt from these requirements.
Where will I be staying?

Our students will be staying in actual university accommodation. Most of our accommodation sites offer a mix of single and twin bedrooms. Some campuses have en-suite bedrooms while others have bathroom facilities shared between a small group of same-sex students. In some campuses, students have the option to pay our ‘En-suite Reservation Fee’, which entitles students to an en-suite room should one be available at their campus.

Contact our Admissions Team for more information. Sharing your room with fellow students is a great way of getting to know people and making friends. You can also request to share a room with someone you know studying the same course as you, though this is not guaranteed and must be done in advance of the course.
