Social intelligence
What is special about social intelligence and social skills?

If there were a vote for the one skill essential for good social relationships then empathy, the ability to understand another person’s feelings, would likely win. But empathy is not simple. You'll understand this from a psychological perspective, through self-study and class discussion.

Questions you may have
How much does it cost?
Our Academic Online Courses cost £875 for a two-week course.
What ages are the courses suitable for?
Our Academic Online Courses are suitable for students aged 13-24. We split students into groups according to age, ability and experience so though the age range for the courses is wide, students normally study with peers of a similar age.
How can I access the Melio Learning Platform?
When you purchase a Melio course or program we will give you access to our innovative learning platform so that you can work through the self-paced content whenever you want, and log in to join live webinars and tutorials. The platform is best accessed using a desktop or laptop computer.
What if I can't make the sessions?
When you sign up, we will provide information about the course timetable in advance so that you can attend the live sessions. The sessions are designed to take place in evenings in your time zone so that they fit with school and other commitments.
What do I need for the course?
To access the course you just need a desktop or laptop computer with a reliable internet connection and a microphone and camera. You do not require any specific study materials during your course, other than making sure that you can take notes as you need, so you may want a notepad or to use Google Docs or the notes function on your phone or tablet.
Will everyone else know more than me?
No prior knowledge is required to take one of our Academic Online Courses, just a desire to learn! Some students in your class may have studied the subject previously but our courses are designed to provide an introduction to university style teaching and we assume that you have not already studied the subject at university. The courses take place in English so you should feel confident to read, write, listen and speak in English in order to take part. In your tutorials you will be able to ask your tutor any specific questions that you have.
