Southampton, the south coast's great port city, is known as the port Titanic sailed from, its green parks and two large universities. Close to the New Forest National Park and the Isle of Wight, it combines city life and nature.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Southampton. Preparation programs at the University of Southampton and Solent University, and programs at Itchen College, are among the options.
In Southampton 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.
Student residences and shared houses are common in Southampton; as a university city, demand rises at the start of the academic year, so book early.
Living costs in Southampton are around the English average, with rent much lower than in London.
Buses serve Southampton, and the centre is easy to walk. Trains make it easy to reach other cities.
On the south coast, Southampton is sunnier and milder than the English average, and summers bring pleasant days by the sea.
Direct flights from Istanbul to London Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW) and Stansted (STN) take about 4 hours; the train from London takes about 1.5 hours.
Because the UK uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: Southampton 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 Southampton in winter and 10:00 in summer.
