Le Bouveret, on the south-east shore of Lake Geneva, is known for its small lakeside harbour and calm village life at the foot of the Alps. Its hospitality and culinary arts campus attracts international students.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Le Bouveret. Preparation programs at the hospitality and culinary school in Le Bouveret and language schools in Montreux are among the options.
In Le Bouveret you can book courses of as little as one week. On an intensive program, one language level usually takes 6-8 weeks. A complete beginner typically needs 6-12 months to reach the B2-C1 level required for university.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Winter is usually cheaper than the summer months. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal discounts and offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday, though complete beginner courses may have set start dates. For long programs that require a visa, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
For study longer than 90 days, you apply to Switzerland's missions in Turkey for a national (D) visa and residence permit. Language courses usually require enrolment on an intensive program of at least 20 hours a week, substantial proof of funds and a commitment to leave after your studies, and cantonal rules can vary.
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.
