"Excellent experience"

Gaia , student från Italien

I studied at the Essential English Center for 3 weeks in September 2017. The school is located in the city center and it's easy to reach by bus. The teachers are very kind, helpful and competent. The lessons are so useful and fun, in my opinion the best way to learn English! The school organizes a "conversation club" every week where students can meet and talk with new people.
All staff are friendly and helpful.
I spent a great time in Manchester!

"Simply excellent!"

Marco

I spent about 4 months attending a course at The Essential English Centre. Thanks to them, I improved my English a lot.

The School is in the city centre, close to the main bus stop station, so it is very easy to get there. During the classes, there are a lot of conversation activities and grammar activities as well. In this way, day by day, I learnt a lot of words and became more confident with my pronunciation and grammar structure knowledge.

There was a good atmosphere in the School with the other students, the teachers and the staff. I received information from the staff before to arrive in Manchester and had a warm welcome the first day. I will never forget all the help that they gave me.

After class, every day, there was a Social activity such as conversation club, bowling, pool, museum tours and one day trips.

What about the housing? I spent a month in the student accommodation and it was a good experience because I met people who came from all around the world. However, I decided to change and live with a host family: spending my time with a native English was the best way to improve.

Finally, I want to spend some words about Manchester. It is a great and cosmopolitan city, full of polite and very friendly people. You can enjoy your free time visiting about 10 free museums, lying down in the parks, watching amazing football matches in a warm atmosphere. Moreover, it is a very cheap city - perfect for students!

Visumsupport

Vi kan inte ansöka om visum för studenter. Dock kan skolan försörja dig med all dokumentation du behöver för att stödja din visumansökan.

Om du studerar i Storbritannien över 11 månader, så kommer du att få ett referensnummer kallat Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) som du överlämnar till Brittiska ambassaden tillsammans med din allmänna studentvisumansökan. Studenter som framgångsrikt har bokat en språkkurs och betalat avgifterna kommer att få ett CAS från . Var vänlig notera att Brittisk lag säger att CAS enbart tilldelas studenter som planerar att studera engelska i över 11 månader.

Om du studerar i Strobritannien i 11 månader eller mindre, så måste du ansöka om ett speciellt besöksvisum som kallas Student Visitor Visa. Som en besökande student, kan du inte arbeta på halvtid samtidigt som du studerar. Om du planerar att studera i Storbritannien i 11 månader eller mindre, så kommer ett antagningsbrev skickas till din hemadress via vanlig post utan kostnad. Om du önskar få ditt pappersarbete via expressbrev, kommer du att debiteras £ 55 när du registrerar dig.

Flyg och flygplatstransfer

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to Manchester based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Reseförsäkring

Studera utomlands bekymmersfritt med Language Internationals försäkringstäckning för hälsa och personliga ägodelar. När du bokat en kurs hos oss, så kan du välja att köpa en internationell försäkringsplan som inte bara täcker sjukvårdskostnader, men också förlust av dina personliga tillhörligheter. Du måste boka din försäkring i förtid när du registrerar dig.
