"It was a very great experience to be at EC in Brighton with other students, I liked to speak English the whole time and I've made lot of friends."

Tessa van Antwerpen, student from Netherlands

The classes were good for the different levels. I only had one teacher and he did it very well! He was very kind and good with students!
Brighton is a great city to stay at and to visit. The people were very lovely and it was nice to be near the sea.
We did many activities and I liked them very much! They had planned great things for us. The social leaders were very sweet and kind, they were so good with students! You can talk and play with them and they make you part of the group!
I liked my home-stay very much. I stayed in a double room and there were two other single rooms. Our host father was very sweet and he liked to talk with the students!

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 EC Brighton - University of Sussex (Junior). 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.
