Application Periods and Start Dates in Nottingham

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.
