EC London - South Bank (Junior) offers the following housing types:

Any student will find that living in homestay accommodation is the best way to practise English outside the classroom. You will be treated as a close friend of the family, couple or individual that you are staying with and will have your own freedom while being respectful to the family’s rules and expectations.

A homestay in the UK may consist of an adult couple with or without children or a single adult. It is the ‘Family Atmosphere’ that is the most important factor. There may also be up to three other students in the family but they will speak a different native language from yourself. Housing very much varies here in London. You may be placed in a house (semi-detached/terrace and detached) or a bungalow or a flat/apartment.

Families in London are of many different nationalities and backgrounds, but the main language spoken in the house will be English.

All our host families are carefully selected and each inspected at least once a year.

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 EC London - South Bank (Junior). 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.

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.
