Message from the Principal

Peter McLaughlin

Principal

Welcome to Varna International Education Centre, where learning, discovery, and adventure come together on the beautiful Black Sea coast of Bulgaria.

As Principal of VIEC responsible for Oxford Summer School Varna, I am proud to be launching exceptional programmes, in an attractive environment with splendid facilities. At our centre, we believe learning should be inspiring and enjoyable. Alongside high-quality English language tuition from dedicated teachers, students will have opportunity to improve their English skills, explore our local natural eco-environment, learn about UK culture, enjoy creative arts, topics in science, sports, excursions, and take part in a range of fun activities by the sea.

Every student is valued, and we aim to help each young person thrive, grow in confidence and leave with unforgettable memories and lasting friendships.
