Study English in the United Kingdom


Studying English in the land that brought us Shakespeare, walking to University along the streets that Isaac Newton once walked, or passing the Queen´s residence on the way to college are but three of the reasons people choose to study in The United Kingdom. More than 700 000 international students studied at the UK´s world recognised educational institutions in 2008, and the expectation is for even further growth over the next 5 years. The sheer volume and quality of historical and cultural places of interest attract visitors and immigrants from around the world, and today cities like London, Liverpool and Edinburgh are truly “global cities”.

A student visa allows the possibility of to 20 hours paid work per week during semester, or full time work during the vacation period. Students enrolled in courses that have a duration of more than 6 months are automatically eligible for all the benefits of the National Health Service (NHS).
