Shropshire, on the Welsh border, is a rural county known for its hills, medieval towns and the Ironbridge Gorge, birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Long-established boarding schools such as Concord College, Adcote School, Ellesmere College and Oswestry School attract international students.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Shropshire. Programs at Concord College, Adcote School, Ellesmere College and Oswestry School in the county are among the options.
In Shropshire 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.
Accommodation in Shropshire is usually in schools' boarding houses or with host families in the area.
Living costs in Shropshire are lower than in London and the south of England, and rent and daily costs suit a student budget.
The towns in the area are linked by trains and buses, and London is easy to reach by train.
Shropshire has a mild but cool climate, with colder, wetter winters than the south and mild summers.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Birmingham Airport (BHX) take about 4 hours; the train from Birmingham takes about an hour.
Because the UK uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: Shropshire 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 Shropshire in winter and 10:00 in summer.
