Students will discover exciting cities, cultural attractions and dramatic landscapes in the UK's four nations
The UK is a small country with good transport links, making it easy for students to visit a variety of destinations during their study trip. Most language centres organise a programme of excursions to help students explore while practicising their English with other students. Students can visit historic and modern cities, famous tourist attractions and filming locations, world-class museums and galleries, or the beautiful mountains, lakes and beaches of the UK’s national parks.
