Wales, one of the four countries of the United Kingdom, is known for its mountains, castles, long coastline and its own Welsh language. With university cities such as Cardiff, Swansea and Bangor and low living costs, it offers English study close to nature.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Wales. English preparation programs at Welsh universities and school programs are among the options; see our Cardiff, Swansea, Bangor and Denbigh pages too.
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 Wales 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.
Homestay is the most common option in Wales, and schools usually place students with families who live within easy reach of the school.
Living costs in Wales are lower than in London and the south of England, and rent and daily costs suit a student budget.
Welsh towns are linked by trains and buses, with Cardiff and Swansea the main hubs in the south and Bangor in the north.
Wales has a mild, wet climate; Atlantic winds bring frequent rain all year, and winters are gentle.
Direct flights from Istanbul to London take about 4 hours, and the train from London to Cardiff takes about 2 hours. For North Wales, Manchester Airport is closer.
Wales is 3 hours behind Turkey in winter and 2 hours behind while British Summer Time applies (late March to late October).
NGGlobal advisers give students planning a language course in Wales free support with comparing schools, price quotes, accommodation and visa documents.
English and Welsh are official languages in Wales, and English is widely used in daily life.
No. Wales is part of the United Kingdom, so the same visa rules apply as in England.
A Standard Visitor visa covers courses of up to 6 months, and a Short-term Study visa covers English courses of 6-11 months.
Yes. Schools offer homestay, student residence and shared flat options, and NGGlobal arranges your accommodation together with your enrolment.
Schools are open all year; summer is the liveliest period, while autumn and winter are quieter and usually cheaper.
