English courses abroad

The cost of studying English abroad largely depends on where you choose to go, as each destination can vary in prices. For example, studying English in the UK can cost anywhere from 230 euros per week, up to 818 euros per week, in the USA it can cost 250 euros to 350 euros, and in Ireland it can cost between 160 euros to 255 euros. 

This price can also be affected by the accommodation and activities you choose, so we recommend you get in contact with our team to get your personalised price along with our other English destinations. 

The “best” English country to learn English depends entirely on you! If you’re looking for a traditional adventure with iconic culture and interesting history, then England is perfect for you. If you’re looking for outdoor activities like surfing and volleyball, mixed with a fun-loving culture and year-round sunshine, Australia is your best bet. 

If you want to live a glamorous life with huge cities and Hollywood accents, the USA is right up your alley. Does none of that appeal to you? Let us know what does and we can find the best country to learn English for you! 

The best part of a language course abroad is that it can fit any age! We have language camps specifically designed for younger learners, that cater for children from 8 to 17 years old. Students are grouped by age and language level and given lessons suited for them, alongside fun activities that will help them make friends and have an amazing trip abroad. 

The visa requirements for studying English abroad depend entirely on the passport you have and the destination you choose. For example, if you hold an EU passport, you can travel to European destinations such as Malta and Ireland without a visa. 

Whereas, if you travel to the UK, you’ll need to obtain an Electronic Travel Allowance (ETA), and if you travel to Australia or the USA, you’ll need to get a specific visa. All of this can change depending on your passport and the current visa requirements of your host country, so we recommend you contact us to get the most up-to-date information. 

As with visas, working while you study english abroad will depend on the passport you have and the country you’re studying in. If you are an EU passport holder studying in an EU destination, you will generally be able to work. However, we recommend that you contact us to find out more about your specific situation. 

Choosing the right course and destination for you is the most exciting thing you can do before you actually fly! When looking, you should think about the following: 

• Which culture are you most interested in? If you see yourself in a Harry Potter-esque boarding school in the UK, or as a California beach bum, then you have your answer!

• What is your budget? Travelling closer to home in a country with a lower cost of living can make the experience cheaper.

• What activities do you like? A language programme could be the perfect opportunity to do them, like scuba diving in Malta or surfing in Australia.

Still having trouble with your choice? Give us a call! We’ll be happy to help!

When you choose ESL, you’re getting more than just a language course; you’re getting an experience! Aside from your lessons, you’ll have constant support from our team of experienced travel experts before, during, and after your course, alongside exclusive access to the best travel deals and accommodation options—so you know that you’re always getting the best treatment. 

Each of our destinations also includes a varied activity programme included in the price (alongside additional activities available for an extra cost), so you’ll have plenty to do outside the classroom too. The best part? Our services come at no additional cost! In fact, if you find your programme anywhere else for a lower price, we’ll refund you the difference!

All of our partner schools adapt their lessons based on your level of English—it’s part of the rigorous criteria that schools need to pass to work with us! Before you arrive, your school will send you a placement test to find out your existing English level, and will place you in the right class. 

If you feel that this class doesn’t fit your level, you can contact us and we’ll make sure that your situation is reviewed. Lastly, if you are at a particularly advanced level, you can also choose to apply your language skills towards an accredited certificate or even a university degree in English through ESL!
