Sligo, in north-west Ireland, is a calm town known for the landscapes that inspired the poet W. B. Yeats, Benbulben mountain and its surf beaches. With an Atlantic Technological University campus and low living costs, it suits students who love nature.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Sligo. Programs at Atlantic Technological University's Sligo campus and language courses in the area are among the options.
How long you study depends on your goal: 2-4 weeks for a short summer course, 3-6 months for fluent communication and usually 6-12 months for a university pathway. Programs that require a student visa are usually long-term.
Fees vary from school to school, and university-based language programs and private language schools can sit in different price ranges. Planning your course, accommodation and airport transfer together lowers the total cost. Ask NGGlobal for a quote with current prices and discounts.
Language schools accept students all year round. From June to August, junior programs and busy classes mean accommodation fills up early; finding housing can be hard, especially in Dublin, so plan early.
Your visa type depends on the length of your course: a C visa for short courses and a D study visa for ILEP programs of 25 weeks or more. The required funds and rules change from time to time, so check the current conditions in official sources; NGGlobal helps you prepare your documents.
