"Not what I expected"

Marie Hardy, student from Sweden

I signed up for "English for teachers" and expected to be among teacher fellows and to concentrate on the science of teaching. The "English for teachers" part was actually just the 5 hours private tutoring and the other 20 hours were spent in a group of people with B2 level. The classroom was too small but the book and the teachers were good. There weren't as many activities organized as the website advertised. The housing was a bit far from the school but great.

"LSI gave me a fun alternative to learn English."

LAURA COLMAN, student from Venezuela

I think LSI has an excellent team of teachers. Each of them have a different methodical manner to teach English.

The school is located in a good place. You can find different options to have a lunch. The problem with LSI is you can not take your lunch in a close place inside school, and also you do not have a microwave to heat the food.

There are many activities that you can take for free or paying a promotion price, and you can have fun with a lot with teachers and students.

I recommend this course to future students.

"Beautiful"

Gianluigi Cafiero, student from Italy

I was in LSI Brighton only for 2 weeks, it was a little time to have a lot information.
For me this was a beautiful experience because I came back to the past when I was young without the problem of young people.
About the school I liked teachers and tehir methods, manly Rachel and Jhon.

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 LSI Brighton. 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 £ 95 when you register.

Learn more about how to get a UK visa »

Flights and airport transfer

The school offers airport pickup services. If you wish to be picked up, just give us your flight details and arrival date. The price of a one-way airport transfer from Gatwick is £ 120. You must book your airport transfer in advance 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 Brighton based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

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.

"Does a student have to book this course without accommodation?"

Unfortunately, as with our other schools, the only possible option is to have the full residential program.

Was this helpful? Yes

"There are 3 of my students who would like to book the Brigton course together. One of them is age 8. Could you accept her too? or do you have another course for younger kids? Do you offer also sailing or surfing classes for kids?"

Katrin katrin, student from Germany
Celine Mailland, Language Studies International school representative (Registrar /Accommodation Officer & Welfare )

The Brighton Summer Camp (BISS) for ages 5-10 years has sold out but the Dolphin Course for 11-15 years old has still got some places available. Please bear in mind we only offer the family program only if an adult takes a course with us. We do not offer sailing nor surfing classes for kids. However there are plenty of Centers in Brighton that offer this service. My advice would be to search online for what's on offer.

Was this helpful? Yes

"I have a prospective student who would like to study at Language Studies International: Brighton. The student will be 11 in October. Can your school accept him in this course?"

Dan Sherrington, Language Studies International school representative (Administrative Manager)

Unfortunately, we only organize the Dolphin courses for Under-16s if a parent is studying with us at the main school. Dolphin is not part of LSI, so this is just a service we provide to encourage parents to study here while their children are taken care of. However, if it is just the 11 year old, you could contact Dolphin yourselves and they will be able to arrange everything

Was this helpful? Yes

"This is the booking only for an 11-year-old student. I understand that I should contact Dolphin school directly. Would you please kindly let me know the contact information? Because there's only LSI's contact email on our system. Your information is greatly appreciated."

Dan Sherrington, Language Studies International school representative (Administrative Manager)
