Why Study English in Newcastle?

Welcome to Newcastle upon Tyne, a vibrant city in the North East of England, which offers international students a unique and enriching environment to study English. Known for its friendly locals, world-class universities, and affordable living costs, Newcastle is quickly becoming one of the UK’s top destinations for language learners.

From July 2024, some our students had the chance to visit the top of Grey's Monument, one of the city's most important sights!

The city boasts a mix of historical charm and modern convenience, making it an ideal place to immerse yourself in English culture. From the iconic Tyne Bridge and historic Grey Street to the bustling Quayside markets and the modern BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, students can explore British life while practicing their language skills daily.

Grey Street, at the heart of the city centre, is a lively place near the school, full of restaurants, cafes and bars our students love!

The people of Newcastle, known locally as 'Geordies', are so warm and welcoming, creating a supportive atmosphere for learners to grow in confidence. With numerous English language schools offering accredited courses, experienced teachers, and flexible schedules, students can choose programs that suit their learning style and goals.
