Brighton, the most popular city on the south coast, is a favourite with young students for its famous pier, the Royal Pavilion, the colourful Lanes and its free-spirited atmosphere. It is ideal for learning English by the sea with a lively social life.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Brighton:
Programs at schools in Brighton such as Oxford International College and Varndean College are also among the options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to a year. Most schools use a system of 8-12 levels, and on an intensive course you should allow about 4-8 weeks per level.
Language school fees in Brighton depend on course intensity, the type of school and the length of your booking. The weekly price falls for longer bookings, and extra discounts apply for early bookings and promotions. Applying through NGGlobal lets you compare the schools' current offers in one place.
Language schools do not require a diploma or any prior knowledge of the language. After you complete the enrolment form and pay the deposit, the school sends you a confirmation. For programs that need a student visa, the licensed school issues a CAS for your visa application.
For short courses, booking 4-6 weeks ahead is enough. Because visa appointments and paperwork take time, we recommend that students applying from Turkey plan at least 2-3 months ahead. Schools may close for 1-2 weeks over Christmas and New Year.
Turkish citizens need a visa to enter the UK. A Standard Visitor visa is enough for language courses of up to 6 months, and English courses of 6-11 months can be taken on a Short-term Study visa. Applications are made through visa application centres in Turkey.
Most language students do not have the right to work, so plan your budget without relying on income from work. If you plan language study as the first step towards a UK university, part-time work becomes possible during your degree.
Homestay is the most common option in Brighton; demand rises in summer, so book early. Student residences are also available.
Living costs in Brighton are above the English average, especially rent. A homestay is the easiest way to balance the budget.
Brighton has an extensive bus network and a walkable centre, with easy trains to London and Gatwick.
On the south coast, Brighton is sunnier and milder than the English average, and summers bring pleasant days by the sea.
Direct flights from Istanbul to London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) and Stansted (STN) take about 4 hours; the train from London takes about 60 minutes.
Brighton is 3 hours behind Turkey in winter and 2 hours behind while British Summer Time applies (late March to late October).
