Canterbury, Kent's historic city, sits at the heart of English history with its UNESCO-listed cathedral, medieval walls and Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'. With several universities, led by the University of Kent, it is a lively student city.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Canterbury:
Programs at The Worthgate School and the University of Kent in Canterbury are also among the options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short summer course, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6-12 months for a university pathway. Programs that require a student visa are usually long-term.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs 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. In summer, junior programs and busy classes mean accommodation fills up early, while autumn and winter are quieter and offers are more frequent.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a visitor visa for up to 6 months, a short-term study visa for up to 11 months and a student visa for academic programs. Rules change from time to time, so check the current conditions in official sources; NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents.
Working in the UK is not allowed on the Standard Visitor or Short-term Study visas. On a Student visa, work is only allowed for certain institutions and programs, within weekly hour limits.
Student residences and shared houses are common in Canterbury; as a university city, demand rises at the start of the academic year, so book early.
Living costs in Canterbury are around the English average, with rent much lower than in London.
Canterbury's historic centre is walkable, buses link the campuses to the centre, and high-speed trains run to London.
Canterbury 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.
The time difference between Canterbury and Turkey is 3 hours in winter and 2 hours in summer. Keep this in mind when planning online calls and flights.
