    The I.H.C. offers a weekly social programme outside of class times. We feel that the social programme is an integral part of the students’ studies, and so it is offered to the students completely free of charge. It includes activities such as films in the school, lectures, guided visits to places of interest, recommendations for activities including concerts, cinemas, theatres, bars, etc. The majority of these activities are free of charge, in other activities students are entitled to significant discounts on presentation of their I.H.C student card. Additional excursions are organised at weekends; these are optional and not included in the course price.
