Language School Prices and Discounts in Manchester

Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the I-20 document fee for an F-1 visa. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.

Application Periods and Start Dates in Manchester

At most language schools courses start every Monday, though some programs have set start dates. Because US visa appointment waiting times can be long, we recommend applying for long programs at least 4-6 months ahead.

Visa for Language Schools in Manchester

Long-term, intensive language study requires an F-1 visa. The application calls for the school's I-20, the SEVIS fee receipt, the DS-160 form, proof of funds and documents showing your ties to Turkey. Visa interviews take place at the embassy in Ankara or the consulate general in Istanbul.

Working While Studying a Language in Manchester

Opportunities to work in America during language study are almost non-existent, and working in breach of visa rules can lead to visa cancellation and refusal of future applications. Prepare a budget that covers your course and living costs from the start.

  • Homestay: live with an American family and practise English at home too; breakfast or half board is usually included.
  • Student residence: ideal for meeting other students.
  • Shared apartment: a more independent option for longer stays.

Shared flats and student houses are easier to find in Manchester than in the big coastal cities.
