Middlesbrough, in north-east England, is known for the Transporter Bridge over the Tees, its industrial heritage and Teesside University. Close to the North York Moors National Park and with very low living costs, it offers students an economical option.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Middlesbrough. Preparation programs at Teesside University and language courses in the area 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 Middlesbrough 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.
Student residences and shared houses are common in Middlesbrough; as a university city, demand rises at the start of the academic year, so book early.
Living costs in Middlesbrough are lower than in London and the south of England, and rent and daily costs suit a student budget.
Buses serve Middlesbrough, and the centre is easy to walk. Trains make it easy to reach other cities.
Middlesbrough has a mild but cool climate, with colder, wetter winters than the south and mild summers.
Direct flights from Istanbul to London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) and Stansted (STN) take about 4 hours; the train from London takes about 3 hours.
