English itself wasn't the issue. The whole postgraduate study was a joke. I came to the UK to study my second master's degree, and reading the university's website, I thought I would learn a lot and improve my English.
The schedule was to have one module per week, 9-5 from Monday to Friday, and then you're on your own! And it wasn't even continuous; there was a gap of a few weeks between some of them. There were some "Language Support" groups where they started by saying, "We are not paid to do this. We are volunteering," which translates to "do not have any sort of expectation of help."
I then started asking questions to see if I had higher expectations or the this is the norm. The answer was, there are "red bricks" universities which might have what I have expected, but the rest are just commercial shops with no academic goals.
