"It was a great time at Kaplan and Bath is a wonderfull place"

Anja Elshof, student from Netherlands

It was a small class, with students from different countries and different ages, Young and older. The teachers were involved and professional.
The school is in the centre of Bath. It is a small school , the teachers know every student by name.
In the afternoon I took part in excursions organized by Kaplan. I like most off them, but we visit many museums.

I have been there for 2 weeks and I had a great time. Bath is really nice. There are many things to do in Bath and the surrounding is beautiful to bike of hike .

"Talk talk talk"

Francesca Pisani, student from Italy

The lessons were really easy to understand no matter the topic you were studying, all the teachers were so kind and welcoming to every single student and they always tried their best to create a friendly atmosphere among the students so we could socialize quicker.

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 Kaplan International. 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 £ 40 when you register.

Flights and airport transfer

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 Bath 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.
