Ely is a beautiful, peaceful town in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside: the ideal setting for children. It is 25 kilometers north of Cambridge and 125 kilometers from London. Its magnificent cathedral, established in 1083, dominates the city and makes this one of the finest and most unspoiled medieval cities in Britain. Many of the ancient buildings are part of the school's teaching centers and residences.
The center of the town has a traditional English 'High Street' with a wide range of shops and a classic market square. Although it is a city, Ely has a population of only 15,000 people.
Student residences are more suitable for an independent student, who is looking for clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. All students must be 9 - 14. Your housing starts on the Sunday before your first day of class and ends on the Saturday after your last day of class, unless otherwise noted. Learn more about student residence accommodation
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 SE. 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. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 5 when you register.
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 Ely based on your budget, schedule and preferences.
Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings. You must book your insurance in advance when you register.
