Burgos, in northern Spain, is known for its UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral, its place on the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route and the Museum of Human Evolution. Not very touristy and with clear Castilian Spanish, it offers a calm setting for intensive language study.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Burgos. The University of Burgos's Spanish courses for foreigners and language schools in the city are among the options.
Short programs last 1-4 weeks, while long-term programs run from 12 weeks to 6 months. Schools usually follow the Common European Framework levels from A1 to C1.
Language school fees in Burgos 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, which is used for visa and residence procedures on long programs.
For short courses, booking 3-4 weeks ahead is enough. Schengen visa appointments can take longer in busy periods, so students applying from Turkey should plan at least 2 months ahead. There are no lessons on public holidays.
Turkish citizens apply for a Schengen visa for language courses of up to 90 days. The application requires the school's enrolment letter, proof of payment, proof of accommodation, travel health insurance and proof of funds.
We recommend that language students plan their budget without relying on income from work. If you plan language study as the first step towards a Spanish degree or master's, part-time work may become possible during that period.
Homestay is the most common option in Burgos; living with a Spanish family is ideal for getting to know the language and food culture up close.
Living costs in Burgos are much lower than in Spain's big cities, and food and accommodation suit a student budget.
Buses serve Burgos, and the historic centre is easy to walk. Trains and coaches make other cities easy to reach.
Because of its altitude, Burgos has long, cold winters and short, mild summers.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD) take about 4.5-5 hours; trains or coaches from Madrid to Burgos take about 2.5-3 hours.
Because Spain uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Burgos is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
