Cambridge, on the River Cam, is known for the colleges of its university, founded more than 800 years ago, punting on the river and its cycling culture. It is also the centre of 'Silicon Fen', a cluster of technology companies.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Cambridge:
High school and preparation programs at schools in Cambridge such as CATS, St Andrew's and The Leys are also among the options.
In Cambridge you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the IELTS score universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the student visa and health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginners may have set start dates. For programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 2-3 months ahead. July and August are the busiest months.
For the visa application, the school's acceptance letter, proof of payment, bank statements, accommodation details and evidence of ties to Turkey (work, school or family) are important. Long-term and academic programs use a Student visa application based on the CAS issued by the school.
Working in breach of visa rules can have serious consequences, such as visa cancellation and refusal of future applications. NGGlobal helps you plan a realistic budget for the course and living costs.
Homestay is the most common option in Cambridge, and schools usually place students with families who live within easy reach of the school.
Living costs in Cambridge are above the English average, especially rent. A homestay is the easiest way to balance the budget.
Central Cambridge is easy on foot and by bike, with buses across the city. Trains run to London's King's Cross and Liverpool Street.
Cambridge lies in one of England's driest and sunniest regions, with mild summers and cool winters.
Direct flights from Istanbul to London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) and Stansted (STN) take about 4 hours; the train from London takes about an hour.
Because the UK uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: Cambridge is 2 hours behind Turkey in summer and 3 hours behind in winter. When it is 12:00 in Turkey, it is 09:00 in Cambridge in winter and 10:00 in summer.
