"It was amazing"

Thomas de Fety

I loved being at Millfield, it was amazing! Classes were very good, teacher as well. The location is perfect and huge, I was impressed! Facilities were very very good, I had a lot of fun, but what I really didn't like was that we had to pay for them and it was quite expensive... Activities are so cool, there were so many different choices. People from the staff are very nice, helpful, funny...
Housing is great, bedrooms can be very cool but houses are very different, there are houses much better than others.

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from MELHC. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you.
