Cheltenham, at the gateway to the Cotswolds, is a spa town known for its elegant Regency buildings, gardens and festivals of literature, music and science. With long-established schools and the University of Gloucestershire, it offers a culturally rich place to study.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Cheltenham. Programs at the University of Gloucestershire and English support programs at local schools are 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 Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham, and schools usually place students with families who live within easy reach of the school.
Living costs in Cheltenham are above the English average, especially rent. A homestay is the easiest way to balance the budget.
Buses serve Cheltenham, and the centre is easy to walk. Trains make it easy to reach other cities.
Cheltenham has a mild maritime climate, with cool, wet winters and mild summers. The weather can change quickly, so we recommend always carrying a raincoat.
