Valencia, on the Mediterranean, is known as the birthplace of paella, for the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences and the Turia park built on an old riverbed. With beaches, low living costs and a high quality of life, it is a student favourite.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Valencia. Valencia has independent language schools as well as schools from groups such as Enforex and Don Quijote.
In Valencia you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one level of Spanish usually takes 4-8 weeks, and to reach a level where you can communicate in daily life we recommend a 2-4 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 visa and travel 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 long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. July and August are the busiest months.
For study longer than 90 days, you apply to Spain's missions in Turkey for a long-stay student visa (visado de estudios). The application requires proof of enrolment on an intensive program, proof of funds, private health insurance and documents such as a police clearance; after arriving in Spain you apply for a foreigner's identity card (TIE).
Working in breach of visa rules can lead to serious penalties, so always follow the official rules. NGGlobal helps you plan your budget for the course and living costs.
Homestay is the most common option in Valencia; living with a Spanish family is ideal for getting to know the language and food culture up close.
Living costs in Valencia are around the Spanish average, with rent lower than in Madrid or Barcelona.
Valencia has a metro, trams and buses, and as the city is flat, cycling is very popular.
Valencia has a Mediterranean climate with hot, sunny summers, mild winters and plenty of sunshine for most of the year.
Valencia Airport (VLC) is reached from Turkey with direct or connecting flights, and the high-speed train from Madrid takes about 2 hours.
Because Spain uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: from late March to late October Valencia is 1 hour behind Turkey, and in winter it is 2 hours behind.
