Leeds, Yorkshire's largest city, is one of the most dynamic in northern England, with its Victorian arcades, lively nightlife and large student population. Close to the Yorkshire Dales and with low living costs, it is a student favourite.
Some of the language schools NGGlobal offers in Leeds:
Preparation programs at universities in Leeds, such as the University of Leeds, 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.

Living costs in Leeds are lower than in London and the south of England, and rent and daily costs suit a student budget.
Leeds's buses, trams and trains cover the whole city, with discounted passes for students.
Leeds has a mild but cool climate, with colder, wetter winters than the south and mild summers.
