Why Eurocentres?<br />

Why Eurocentres?<br />

Individual support<br />

A language course abroad is more than simply learning a language<br />

– it is a life experience. Whether you dream of studying<br />

in another country, landing your perfect job or interacting with<br />

the locals on your next holiday, at Eurocentres you will receive<br />

the attention and support you need to achieve your goals. The<br />

EUROCENTRES SUCCESS SYSTEM is based on a proven<br />

learning system that offers structured, individualised study<br />

plans and permanent feedback on progress by a qualified teacher.<br />

Fast progress<br />

<strong>Learning</strong> styles and interests differ from one course participant<br />

to the next. Therefore Eurocentres attaches great importance to<br />

assessing your initial language skills and goals. We will discuss<br />

these with you before your booking, on your arrival at the school<br />

and during your course. This forms the basis of your personal<br />

self-study plan and allocation to a particular class. During your<br />

stay, your teacher will meet you regularly to discuss your learning<br />

progress and to ensure that you achieve your learning goals<br />

quickly and confidently.<br />

Top locations and state-of-the-art<br />

learning environment<br />

Spacious, bright classrooms, state-of-the-art furniture and<br />

cutting-edge technology provide the ideal conditions for effective<br />

learning. Study areas, communal rooms and fast wi-fi in<br />

all schools build a solid foundation for your success. Our schools<br />

are centrally located and have been designed to meet the particular<br />

needs of language students. Our programmes offer you<br />

a variety of suitable destinations for learning abroad. The choice<br />

is vast thanks to our extended network of partner schools,<br />

which have been carefully selected and regularly audited by<br />

Eurocentres. They offer an outstanding range of benefits and<br />

services, which may vary from those offered by Eurocentres<br />

schools.<br />

Home away from home<br />

Eurocentres takes great care in selecting your accommodation.<br />

We place much importance on providing you with the best<br />

environment in which to thrive. If any issue should arise, such<br />

as homesickness or difficulties with your homestay family,<br />

someone is always on hand to help you: your class teacher,<br />

accommodation coordinator, academic manager or centre<br />

manager. All schools have a 24-hour emergency number.<br />

Meet the world<br />

Studying at a Eurocentres school means meeting people from<br />

more than 90 countries. The well-balanced mix of nationalities<br />

enriches the experience of learning and using a foreign language<br />

in a multicultural context. You will learn to communicate and<br />

socialise with people from all over the world.<br />

Practise outside the classroom<br />

The best way to practise is to use your new language skills outside<br />

the classroom. Eurocentres offers you plenty of opportunities<br />

to do so through its well-balanced and enriching social<br />

activities programme. You can participate in activities of your<br />

choice in order to get more out of your language adventure.<br />

Investing in your future<br />

<strong>Learning</strong> a language is a major investment in your future. The<br />

Eurocentres Foundation, an institute of Migros Culture<br />

Percentage, has been providing language services for more<br />

than 60 years and aims to bridge national, cultural and social<br />

barriers. We are a non-profit organisation and therefore it is part<br />

of our mission that any profits are reinvested in our operations<br />

for your benefit.<br />

Swiss quality<br />

Eurocentres provides every day Swiss quality. We ensure the<br />

quality of our teaching, facilities and services systematically<br />

through audits, customer feedback and accreditation by external<br />

organisations to ensure you receive the best learning experience.<br />

Experience counts<br />

The first Eurocentres school opened in England in 1948 – one<br />

of the first language schools worldwide. Our reputation for<br />

providing quality education has led to our appointment as<br />

consultant to the Council of Europe since 1968. In this role we<br />

contribute significantly to the development of the Common<br />

European Framework of Reference for <strong>Language</strong>s, a worldwide<br />

standard for language learning. Our innovative language<br />

methodologies are constantly developed and adapted to meet<br />

current needs.<br />

Quality<br />

Quality<br />

Quality is paramount. A consultant to the Council of Europe since<br />

1968, Eurocentres played a crucial role in the development of<br />

the Common European Framework of Reference for <strong>Language</strong>s,<br />

a worldwide standard for language learning. This guideline<br />

provides a basis for developing and comparing language courses<br />

and results. As a founding member of EAQUALS, Eurocentres<br />

has continuously set global standards for high quality language<br />

learning.<br />

Quality at Eurocentres<br />

Eurocentres’s strong commitment to quality is evident in its high<br />

performance standards. All aspects of the school and services are<br />

monitored systematically by our Quality Management System.<br />

We go the extra mile to ensure fast and sustainable progress and<br />

strongly believe that quality matters for a successful learning<br />

experience.<br />

Accreditation<br />

All Eurocentres schools are accredited by one or more external<br />

quality assurance organisations such as EAQUALS and the British<br />

Council (for full details see page 69). Our innovative language<br />

methodologies and services are constantly developed and adapted to<br />

exceed expectations and we regularly achieve points of excellence.<br />

You can find a public report by the Independent Schools Inspectorate,<br />

one of the UK quality assurance organizations here:<br />

http://www.educationaloversight.co.uk/home/<br />

Our schools received excellent results in the assessments with just one<br />

recommendation for improvement. This recommendation has been<br />

addressed and resolved.<br />

<strong>Language</strong> in an everyday professional<br />

environment – this is the<br />

magic formula if you want to<br />

deepen your linguistic ability,<br />

gain intercultural skills and<br />

new professional experience.<br />

However, you must be an open<br />

person for this type of programme:<br />

willing to learn and<br />

adapt to the needs of the partner<br />

company. The course must comprise<br />

a period of language study,<br />

immediately followed by a period<br />

of full-time work experience. Ask<br />

your advisor for more information<br />

on work experience.<br />

Accommodation<br />

Accommodation<br />

We do our best to ensure you feel truly at home in your host<br />

country. Whether you choose to stay in a homestay, a<br />

student residence, a hotel or guesthouse, you can be sure that<br />

all accommodation options have been carefully selected by<br />

Eurocentres. You will be spoilt for choice: select the type of<br />

accommodation that suits your needs.<br />

Homestay<br />

Most Eurocentres students choose our<br />

homestay programme. It is one of the best<br />

ways to get to know your host country’s customs<br />

and culture, and the ideal opportunity<br />

to use your newly acquired language skills.<br />

You will have your own room, furnished to a<br />

good local standard. If you have any special<br />

requirements, such as a vegetarian diet, please<br />

let us know on the registration form. We will<br />

make every effort to comply with your wishes<br />

when arranging your accommodation. Our<br />

homestay families – with and without children,<br />

older couples and single people – are carefully<br />

selected and regularly inspected by our local<br />

staff, following clearly defined quality<br />

standards. We have been working with most<br />

of our hosts for many years now and all are<br />

experienced in looking after guests in their<br />

homes.<br />

Student residence<br />

In a student residence, contact with students<br />

from all over the world will give you the<br />

chance to form and deepen friendships. You<br />

will have your own room and be responsible<br />

for your own meals. Some residences have<br />

university restaurant facilities nearby where<br />

you can eat at a reasonable price. Others have<br />

communal kitchens where you can prepare<br />

your own meals, although not all are equipped<br />

with crockery, pots and pans.<br />

Hotel or apartment<br />

Most of the apartments we offer are basic,<br />

inexpensive studios with a bedroom/living<br />

room and a kitchenette. The range of<br />

apartments varies from location to location.<br />

We are also happy to arrange or recommend<br />

accommodation for you in a two, three and<br />

four-star hotel or guesthouse.<br />

Yuiko Ono, Japan<br />

My English has progressed a lot<br />

since I came here, especially my<br />

pronunciation and speaking skills.<br />

The teachers are also good at<br />

organising classes and they teach<br />

and explain in a very kind way.<br />

They always try to understand<br />

students and they notice what we<br />

need. The social programme events<br />

are always fantastic, I often join<br />

them with my friends.<br />

Asgard Hubl, Germany<br />

What helped me overcome my<br />

shyness in speaking English was the<br />

friendliness of everyone working at<br />

the school. I never hesitated to ask<br />

questions because all the people were<br />

very helpful. During my time in San<br />

Diego, I made many friends, tried<br />

new food and had a lot of fun. I will<br />

miss San Diego and the great time I<br />

had, but I will definitely keep in<br />

touch with everyone!<br />

Michelle Larios, Colombia<br />

My experience here has been<br />

amazing, not only because<br />

Vancouver is a wonderful city but<br />

also because Eurocentres has very<br />

good teachers who have helped me<br />

a lot to improve my English. I think<br />

I will never forget the countless<br />

experiences that I have had in the<br />

school and with friends I made.<br />

Eurocentres is definitely a great<br />

school because of its personalised<br />

education and focus on every<br />

student’s needs.<br />

A city full of spirit, famous for its<br />

arts and “joie de vivre”, its wide<br />

boulevards and winding streets.<br />

Varied nightlife: trendy bars and<br />

clubs, traditional brasseries. Euro<br />

Disney is close to the city.<br />

La Rochelle<br />

Coastal location with islands,<br />

sandy beaches and sleepy fishing<br />

villages. The rich history of this<br />

harbour town has always been<br />

inseparable from the Atlantic.<br />

From the old port, the first French<br />

colonialists left for Canada in the<br />

15th century. Fantastic watersports<br />

facilities (sailing, surfing)<br />

along the Atlantic coast. A<br />

friendly student town.<br />

Amboise<br />

Wonderful little town in the<br />

“Garden of France”. Ideal base<br />

for excursions to the world-famous<br />

Loire castles and vineyards.<br />

Amboise is situated in Touraine,<br />

a region well known for its pure<br />

French and classed in 2000 as a<br />

UNESCO world heritage site. It’s<br />

no coincidence that Mick Jagger<br />

has chosen to make Amboise his<br />

second home!<br />

Mayra Capriles, Venezuela<br />

I have studied French for almost 5<br />

months and I can say that I have<br />

been progressing a lot. The lessons<br />

are not only very educational but<br />

also enjoyable and there are always<br />

many different activities to join.<br />

All the teachers are very friendly,<br />

always ready to help and very<br />

attentive. Finally, I have really<br />

enjoyed staying in Paris and I am<br />

very happy to have taken a language<br />

course at Eurocentres Paris.<br />

world-famous museums, medieval towns –<br />

all within easy reach. Another plus is the<br />

excellent public transport service and the<br />

Lausanne<br />

Lausanne on Lake Geneva, only<br />

a few kilometres away from<br />

some of the highest peaks of<br />

the Alps (Matterhorn, Eiger,<br />

Mönch and Jungfrau), is an ideal<br />

city for leisure, exploring, cycling<br />

and strolling along the lakeside,<br />

and a must for watersports,<br />

mountaineering and winter sports<br />

enthusiasts. Very close by is the<br />

famous wine-growing district<br />

of Lavaux, and UNESCO world<br />

I have been in Lausanne for 3 months<br />

and I feel very comfortable in this<br />

school. Teachers are professional and<br />

motivated which I appreciate. Using<br />

IWB to watch videos is a great way to<br />

hear people with different accents.<br />

Whithin 3 months, I made enough<br />

headways to feel at ease when<br />

communicating with my friends at<br />

to come to Eurocentres Lausanne!<br />

cultural heritage will be enchanted by life in<br />

Barcelona, Valencia, Madrid or Seville.<br />

Barcelona<br />

Situated between mountains and<br />

the Mediterranean sea, Barcelona<br />

is a cosmopolitan and dynamic<br />

city, full of life and varied culture.<br />

The city’s unique personality<br />

is reflected in its art and architecture,<br />

where ancient and modern<br />

styles coexist in a fascinating<br />

mixture.<br />

Valencia<br />

More than 2000 years of history<br />

is reflected in the numerous monuments<br />

and museums of Spain’s<br />

third largest city. Valencia has a<br />

warm year-round climate and the<br />

countless gardens and beaches<br />

create a peaceful and relaxed<br />

atmosphere. A multicultural city<br />

with many festivals. Valencia is<br />

less than 4 hours from Barcelona<br />

and Madrid by train.<br />

Madrid<br />

Madrid is the melting pot of the<br />

Latin world, where people from all<br />

parts of Spain and South America<br />

have made themselves a new home.<br />

As the capital of Spain, it is the governmental<br />

and commercial centre<br />

where you can find everything Latin<br />

under the sun: fascinating museums,<br />

first-class restaurants, great<br />

nightlife (be prepared to change<br />

your body clock), all set in a very<br />

inviting and friendly ambiance.<br />

Seville<br />

Seville is the classic heart of<br />

Spain where you can find every<br />

typical Spanish tradition: tapas,<br />

flamenco, colourful religious<br />

processions, bullfighting, siesta,<br />

late nights and amazing architecture,<br />

to name but a few. On the<br />

other hand, Seville never stands<br />

still and is a wonderful place<br />

for nightlife, art, shopping and<br />

restaurants.<br />

Bob Appels, The Netherlands<br />

I had a fantastic time at the school<br />

in Valencia. The classes are small<br />

with only a few people, so I learned<br />

the language really quickly. The<br />

teachers are very friendly and you<br />

have different teachers during the<br />

day. We learned the grammar by<br />

playing different games, talking,<br />

listening and doing assignments. I<br />

enjoyed my time here and I would<br />

definitely come back.<br />

Buenos Aires:<br />

12.2 million<br />

Argentina<br />

Buenos Aires<br />

Argentina comes from the Latin term<br />

“argentum”, which means silver. The origin<br />

of this name goes back to the first voyages<br />

made by the Spanish conquerors to the Río<br />

de la Plata. The survivors of the shipwrecked<br />

expedition mounted by Juan Díaz<br />

de Solís found indigenous people in the<br />

region who gave them silver objects as<br />

presents. It is a charming and energetic<br />

country with lots to offer: gorgeous<br />

landscapes, cosmopolitan cities and lively<br />

culture. Argentina is safe, friendly and very<br />

affordable.<br />

Buenos Aires<br />

“My beloved Buenos Aires” is<br />

one of the most famous tango<br />

songs. The secret of the city lies<br />

in having everything: culture,<br />

architecture, art, music, and nonstop<br />

nightlife. A fascinating city,<br />

worth discovering block by block<br />

(“cuadra” as we say here). The<br />

city of Buenos Aires is characterised<br />

as having a strong European<br />

influence, which is reflected not<br />

only in the city’s architectural<br />

design but also in the composition<br />

of the population, the majority<br />

being of Spanish or Italian<br />

descent.<br />

I feel very comfortable in this school.<br />

The whole organisation seems to<br />

work really well. The teachers pay a<br />

lot of attention and explain things in<br />

an easy, understandable way. I can<br />

already communicate quite a bit in<br />

Spanish after only 3 days, which is a<br />

really good sign.<br />

Peru, combining the modern and the<br />

ancient, is home to one of the New Seven<br />

Wonders of the World: Machu Picchu – the<br />

‘Lost City of the Incas’. Its rainforests<br />

contain butterflies bigger than your hand,<br />

pink dolphins and trees that walk! Surfers<br />

can catch the longest known wave, whilst<br />

onlookers can enjoy the famous cuisine.<br />

Spanish is the first language of the country,<br />

and the Nobel Prize for literature was<br />

recently awarded to a Peruvian author.<br />

Cuzco<br />

Cuzco, a charming city high in<br />

the Andes, is captivating to<br />

all who tread its steep, cobbled<br />

streets built by the ancient Incas.<br />

This welcoming place, surrounded<br />

by mountains and impressive<br />

Toby Waterman, Great Britain<br />

The school was a great stroke of<br />

luck for me. I was initially attracted<br />

to the school because of its work<br />

educating local teenagers. As the<br />

course progressed, I was impressed<br />

with the thoroughness of planning<br />

and the range of activities involved.<br />

Being a teacher myself, I could<br />

tell each lesson was specifically<br />

designed for my needs. In addition,<br />

the staff of the school generously<br />

showed me aspects of Cuzco not<br />

normally seen by tourists.<br />

My six months at Eurocentres were<br />

incredible. I got to know people<br />

from different countries and learned<br />

a lot about their cultures. I also<br />

learned Italian! I arrived without any<br />

knowledge of this language, but<br />

thanks to the excellent teachers<br />

and staff I achieved a high level and<br />

I would like to thank them for<br />

everything they have done. I will<br />

never forget this beautiful experience<br />

and I will definitely return to<br />

Eurocentres! Thank you<br />

for everything.<br />

always really nice and helpful, and<br />

do their best for your wellbeing. In<br />

small groups, especially in private<br />

know the Japanese culture, which<br />

is always fun and interesting. I hope<br />

China offers both bustling cosmopolitan<br />

cities like Beijing and Shanghai, with their<br />

modern high-rise buildings, classical<br />

culture and booming business districts,<br />

and beautiful countryside with small<br />

traditional villages. China is famous for its<br />

World Heritage Sites like the Great Wall,<br />

the Forbidden City and the Terracotta<br />

Army. The population consists of 56 ethnic<br />

groups, each with its own culture.<br />

Beijing<br />

The capital of China is a modern<br />

but still very Chinese city. The<br />

traditional architecture of the old<br />

temples and the Forbidden City<br />

sits alongside the new architecture<br />

of the Olympic sites and the<br />

new CCTV Tower. The city<br />

is bursting with life, with new<br />

restaurants, bars, shops and art<br />

galleries opening every day.<br />

The people of Beijing are friendly<br />

Russia<br />

Moscow<br />

Russia’s economic boom has profoundly<br />

transformed the country and its infrastructure,<br />

and has led to the emergence<br />

of a new and vibrant modern lifestyle.<br />

The opportunities are enormous but so<br />

are the challenges, and to witness these<br />

historic changes is an extraordinary and<br />

unforgettable experience. However,<br />

no amount of westernisation will ever<br />

change the much-quoted “Russian Soul”.<br />

Moscow<br />

Moscow is the New York of<br />

Russia, the city that never sleeps,<br />

but where old Russia is still<br />

evident. The many churches with<br />

their onion-shaped towers,<br />

old buildings and palaces and, of<br />

course, Red Square and the<br />

Kremlin, give the city centre a<br />

unique character. Moscow is both<br />

familiar and exotic – fascinating<br />

every visitor with its charm.<br />

St. Petersburg<br />

The beauty of St. Petersburg<br />

lies in the unique harmony of its<br />

architecture – baroque, classical<br />

and art nouveau, all enhanced<br />

magnificently by the ever-present<br />

water. Explore this world cultural<br />

heritage city that seems to consist<br />

entirely of palaces, churches and<br />

romantic canals.<br />

This combined policy covers withdrawal and return travel costs.<br />

Period of cover: minimum three months<br />

Withdrawal costs:<br />

If you have to cancel your planned stay at a language school at short notice on health<br />

Eurocentres’ Standard Terms of Business.<br />

Return travel costs:<br />

In the event of illness or accident, the costs of transport, either to the nearest local hospital<br />

or to a hospital where you live, are covered. If you have to terminate the course on<br />

compelling grounds and return home earlier (e.g. if a close relative dies, your property<br />

suffers serious damage as a result of burglary or natural disasters), the insurance will<br />

cover the additional return travel costs. In addition, ELVIA will refund the expenses for<br />

the unused part of the course pro-rata to the arrangement price. If the insured person<br />

goes missing, the insurance will cover the search and rescue costs.<br />

CHF 100,000. For 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, the ELVIA Travel Hotline is there to<br />

To register, please use the form in the brochure or on www.eurocentres.com,<br />

and send this as early as possible to Eurocentres or to a<br />

Euro centres contracting party. First and family name must be entered<br />

as shown in the travel documents (passport or identity card). On<br />

confirmation of the registration by Eurocentres (Foundation for<br />

<strong>Language</strong> and Educational Centres, Seestrasse 247, 8038 Zurich,<br />

Switzerland), the contract shall be deemed to have been agreed and<br />

the registration shall be binding. The minimum age for any<br />

Eurocentres course is 16 years (16th birthday before course start).<br />

The minimum age for Sydney, Melbourne, Madrid, Seville, Buenos<br />

Aires, Sliema and Beijing is 18 (18th birthday before course start).<br />

The course participant shall be deemed to be a Eurocentres contracting<br />

party provided he or she is 18 years old or more. In the case of<br />

course participants who at the time of registration (date of registration)<br />

have not yet reached the age of 18, or where despite having<br />

reached the age of 18 the participant is not deemed capable of being a<br />

contracting party according to the law of his or her country of residence,<br />

the contract must be signed by a parent or guardian, who must<br />

also give his or her exact address. This shall also apply when the age<br />

of consent is not 18 years in the country where the language course is<br />

taking place, or in which the course participant or his or her parent or<br />

guardian is resident. Special regulations apply for participants under<br />

18 years attending courses in Australia. Before enrolling, please ask<br />

your Eurocentres adviser for a copy of the “Supplementary information<br />

concerning Australia”, and /or consult www.eurocentres.com.<br />

Depending on the course venue, it may be the case that a parent or<br />

guardian has to give his or her consent to the language course if the<br />

participant is under 21 years of age (regardless of whether the<br />

participant is deemed capable of being a contracting party in his or<br />

her country of residence).<br />

The course participant shall be defined as the person who takes part,<br />

or intends to take part, in the language course that is the object of this<br />

contract.<br />

Vouchers and other promotions must be presented at the time of registration.<br />

Vouchers and promotions cannot be taken into consideration<br />

once the course confirmation is issued.<br />

Clause 2 Information provided on registration<br />

The course participant / contracting party hereby expressly confirms<br />

that the information provided at the time of registration for the language<br />

course shall correspond with the truth, and accepts that he or<br />

she may be expelled forthwith from the language course at any time<br />

should said information prove to be a misrepresentation (e.g. beginners<br />

who select a start date on which no beginners’ courses are available).<br />

In such an event, the course fees shall not be refunded in any<br />

way, not even on a pro-rata basis. Potential participants who are<br />

unsure of their language level should tell their Eurocentres adviser<br />

that they wish to take the Eurocentres Pathfinder test (available on<br />

www.eurocentres.com).<br />

paid into the account specified by Eurocentres in the confirmation of<br />

registration. Enrolments received by phone, fax or mail: when paying<br />

by credit card, the down payment will be charged to the card 10 days<br />

after dispatch of the confirmation and the remaining payment six<br />

weeks before start of the course.<br />

Clause 4 Delay in payment<br />

Should payment not be made by the aforementioned date, the contracting<br />

party shall be deemed to be in default. In such an event,<br />

Eurocentres shall not be obliged to admit the course participant to the<br />

language course. The existence of a claim on the part of Eurocentres<br />

shall remain unaffected by the above. Eurocentres may claim damages<br />

in accordance with clause 10.<br />

Clause 5 Proof of payment<br />

At the start of the course, the course participant shall provide proof of<br />

payment of the course fees and, where applicable, of the accommodation<br />

extend your course before commencement of the course. If we receive<br />

your change of booking less than 14 days before the course is due to<br />

begin or after the course has started, other costs may be incurred in<br />

addition to the booking change fee (e.g. for accommodation), which<br />

we will have to pass on to you. Any extension of a course, once the<br />

course has begun, will be treated as a new enrolment. In the case of<br />

specialised courses of more than four weeks, the specialisation can also<br />

be changed during the course. However, only one change can be made<br />

every four weeks. The school must in any case agree to a change.<br />

situation within a reasonable period, the course participant may take<br />

steps to remedy the situation him or herself, and Eurocentres shall<br />

Eurocentres shall have the right at any time to change the dates and<br />

prices published in the catalogue, on the internet or elsewhere. On<br />

conclusion of the contract, Eurocentres may amend the published<br />

programme of services, provided such amendments are unavoidable<br />

style of the course. If material changes are made to key services, the<br />

contracting party shall have the right to withdraw from the contract or<br />

to request to join an equivalent language course, where Eurocentres is<br />

able to offer him or her such a course. Eurocentres shall immediately<br />

party must exercise his or her rights immediately after receipt of such<br />

notification from Eurocentres. Eurocentres shall be entitled to<br />

before the start of the course for the following reasons: increases in<br />

cost of transportation, increases in charges for certain services, fluctuation<br />

in exchange rate, official price increases, introduction or increased<br />

official charges. In the case of such an increase, the price can be<br />

adapted and increased accordingly. In the case of price increases of<br />

more than 10%, the contracting partner shall have the same rights as<br />

in the case of a considerable change of one of the key services. Any<br />

changes to the programme or services during the language course due<br />

to unforeseeable or unpreventable reasons are permissible, provided<br />

the overall content of the programme remains unchanged. Eurocentres<br />

retains the absolute right to assign or re-assign participants to classes<br />

in accordance with their language skills or to implement any other<br />

measures required for the correct operation of the school.<br />

Student Visitor Visa (SVV) route (course duration of six months or less) and Extended Student Visitor<br />

Visa (ESVV) route (course duration of six to 11 months): Visa nationals who are over 18 and wish to<br />

come to the UK must obtain a visa and entry clearance as a Student Visitor or Extended Student Visitor<br />

before arrival. This can be obtained from a British diplomatic mission overseas. At the point of entry,<br />

they may also be required to show the school’s confirmation letter, proof of payment of tuition fees,<br />

the accommodation address, their return flight ticket and proof, with formal financial statements, that<br />

they can support themselves during their stay. For some countries a health certificate might be<br />

needed. Non-visa nationals can also obtain leave (permission) to enter as a Student Visitor on arrival in<br />

the UK, but must remember to show their course confirmation letter at immigration. (Please note that<br />

all non-EU / EEA / Swiss nationals applying for an Extended Student Visitor Visa must do so before<br />

arrival.) Students under the age of 18 should apply for entry clearance as a Child Visitor. Note:<br />

students entering the UK on a Student Visitor, Extended Student Visitor or Child Visitor visa will not be<br />

able to extend their visa or work while in the UK.<br />

General Student Visa (GSV) route: Non-EU / EEA / Swiss nationals who are over 16 need a Confirmation<br />

of Acceptance of Studies (CAS) when applying for entry clearance as a General Student. The UK<br />

Border Agency has approved Eurocentres as an official sponsor, which allows Eurocentres to issue the<br />

CAS for its course participants who can demonstrate that they have already achieved a level of English<br />

at B1 on the CEFR and are able to study in a course at B2 level. The CAS has to be presented at a<br />

British diplomatic mission overseas when applying for entry clearance together with proof that the<br />

student has enough money to cover course fees and living costs and proof of English level.<br />

A non-refundable fee for the CAS of GBP 18 will apply. Students on a General Student Visa can<br />

extend their visa while in the UK, but cannot work. Please contact the British embassy or consulate<br />

for further information. Please note that non-EU / EEA / Swiss nationals cannot study in the UK on an<br />

you are in Beijing. This can be obtained at the Chinese Embassy in your country. It is very important<br />

that you apply for a normal tourist visa (L-Visa); a student visa is not required for our courses. If you<br />

want to study longer than 90 days, you can apply for a cultural exchange visa (M-Visa) for which<br />

the school will provide you with an invitation letter (see Visa registration fee to pay). The visa<br />

granted is for 90 days with a double entry. After 90 days you have to leave China - for a neighbour<br />

country if you wish to - and on return you will be granted another 90 days.<br />
