Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is seen as the 'capital of Europe' as home to the European Union and NATO. With French and Dutch as official languages and English widely used in business, it is a unique place to develop more than one language at once.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Brussels. Private language schools and university language centres in Brussels offer French, Dutch and English courses.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short holiday course, 3-6 months for everyday communication, and usually 9-12 months for a university application. At most schools, courses can be extended week by week.
Fees vary from school to school: university language centres and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is usually enough. For programs requiring a national visa, plan your application 3-4 months ahead to allow for appointment waiting times.
Your visa type depends on the length and purpose of your course: a Schengen visa is enough for up to 90 days. Students admitted to Belgian universities can apply for a long-stay student visa. NGGlobal helps you prepare complete documents.
Students in Belgium on a Schengen visa for a language course cannot work. Higher education students, however, may work within certain hour limits with their residence permit.
Rent is high in the districts around the EU institutions, so students usually choose shared flats or homestays in areas such as Ixelles, Etterbeek or Saint-Gilles.
Living costs in Brussels are moderate for a Western European capital, with rent more reasonable than in Paris or London.
The STIB network of metro, trams and buses covers all of Brussels, and trains make it easy to reach other Belgian cities; Antwerp, Ghent and Leuven are all under an hour away.
Brussels has a mild maritime climate, with cool, wet winters and mild summers. Rain is common all year.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Brussels Airport (BRU) take about 3-3.5 hours, and there are also flights from Turkey to Brussels South Charleroi Airport.
When it is 12:00 in Turkey, it is 11:00 in Brussels in summer and 10:00 in winter.
