Chester, on the Welsh border, is a historic city known for England's most complete Roman and medieval walls, its two-level 'Rows' arcades and black-and-white Tudor buildings. With the University of Chester and a safe atmosphere, it offers a calm place to study.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Chester. Preparation programs at the University of Chester and language schools in nearby Liverpool and Manchester are among the options.
In Chester 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 Chester, and schools usually place students with families who live within easy reach of the school.
Living costs in Chester are around the English average, with rent much lower than in London.
Buses serve Chester, and the centre is easy to walk. Trains make it easy to reach other cities.
Chester has a mild but cool climate, with colder, wetter winters than the south and mild summers.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Manchester Airport (MAN) take about 4-4.5 hours; the train from Manchester takes about an hour.
Because the UK uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: Chester 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 Chester in winter and 10:00 in summer.
