"Great welcome and professional teachers"

Laura Santilli, student from Italy

I had a very nice experience at Newcastle International House. I attended the school for two weeks and from the first day I was welcome with love. My class was composed by 8-10 students from different countries of the world and also thisone was a beautiful experience. My teacher John is a fantastic teacher, he was always attentive to needs of each student. He was professional, but also humorous and friendly.
The location of the school is great because it is in the city centre near Eldonsquare and all services.

The school offer a lot of facilities like a pc room where you can go for your Personal Study Program, with teachers that help you if you need, and a lot of group activities, like trip or dinner and such.

"A wonderful Week"

Sophia Juergens, student from Germany

For one week I was joining the general English B2 class. I enjoyed each day a lot. The vibe in the international House is pretty good. It was nice to met so much people from all over the world with the same destination: studying English. My teacher was wonderful. She did the lessons very varied with lots of opportunities to improve our English skills. I was also fascinated how she looked after every student. I made this experience also in the office and the PSP. In the PSP I had the possibility to work on my individuell weakness. The sources of study material at the PSP have a proper reach. If I will have the opportunity I will visit the International House in Newcastle definitely again!

visa

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 International House. 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 £ 80 when you register.

"I have two prospective students who would like to study at International House: Newcastle. They travel with family. Is it possible to book just for the course, lunch and activities, without accommodation?"

I’m afraid that, as our Edinburgh program is residential, this would not be possible. However, if the students would like to study on our Junior Home stay Program in Newcastle, this would be possible, and we would be able to alter the price accordingly . I’m afraid that we can’t add students to our system until they have actually booked, so this would be difficult.

"I have a prospective sponsored student from Saudi Arabia who would like to study at International House: Newcastle. The student is worried about his visa application and would therefore like a written confirmation that you can actually support his Tier 4 visa. application."

He provided all the required documents for his potential Tier 4 Visa application, but unfortunately our Academic Director confirmed he is not the right level to apply to this type of Visa after he sent through the compulsory written Level Test, backed up with the grammar in his correspondence with us. As we have also told the student, that does not mean his course is cancelled. We confirmed that a place is available to this student, who has been accepted provisionally to study a full-time English language course at this school. We have provided him with more information about the Student Visa application process. He can apply for a Student Visitor Visa (for courses of 24 weeks or less) or an Extended Student Visitor Visa (for courses of 11 months or less).
