5.0

Rating: 5/5

The autumn is just perfect for studying in a calm and relaxed atmosphere with few tourists. It is a good environment to study English seriously. The students who arrive at this time of the year are all very serious and calm.

What school directors said about Bournemouth

GUIDO SCHILLIG

One of Britain’s most popular seaside resorts, it is a lively university town just over 1 hour and a half away from London. It has a mild climate, 12 kilometres of sandy beaches , over 800 hectares of beautiful parks, gardens and extensive leisure facilities.

Great for students who want a more affordable option that living in London or Oxford, but still want easy access to other UK cities and major airports. Bournemouth is surrounded by stunning coastline, national parks, and countryside, making it ideal for those who enjoy spending time in the great outdoors or taking part in a range of outdoor activities such as walking, cycling, horse riding, and surfing.

Europa School of English

I felt very welcomed here. The teachers were very friendly and warm and patient with my questions. The lessons were challenging even though I am already of a pretty high level.
I will definitely come back. I would like to stay longer next time.

The teachers and staff are very helpful, even offering snacks. The activities are excellent and the value of the program is more than the tuition.
The best and most cost-efficient school I have ever been to. I would honestly come back.

Westbourne Academy

All the teachers are very friendly and call all the students by their first names. The quality of the classes is excellent and I am satisfied with all aspects of the school.
Everybody I met was very kind and I made some really good and irreplaceable friends. I would highly recommend this school to those who want to make friends with people from different cultures that they have never encountered before, in an environment where there are very few Asians or other people familiar to them.

The first week I liked a lot, the other two weeks, after the massive groups of students arrived, I did not like. They changed my schedule to the afternoon and I really did not like the organisation for people my age, I only shared classes with much younger students and from Saudi Arabia, and when I mentioned it they said they could not change me, because I think there were no other possibilities.
I think the school, as far as I could see, is well organised for young students.

Q&A - Questions and answers about Bournemouth

  • The language courses are the main focus for our partner schools, so it is not possible to book social activities only. However, many of our schools offer social activities that students can join in addition to their language courses.
