Glasgow School of English

• Homestay/family
• Student residential
• Budget Hotel

We like our students to stay with a family in Homestay accommodation if possible as it helps improve their English and also gives them a place to call “home” while they are studying here. We also offer excellent residential accommodation in clean, comfortable and modern city centre facilities. Accommodation is subject to availability at time of booking, in particular self-catering and 'bed and breakfast' which have limited availability. Full details & facilities can be seen on our website: http://www.glasgowschoolofenglish.com/accommodation/

Glasgow is a thriving, vibrant city which mixes the old and the new to magnificent effect. Whether you like shopping, arts and culture or sport and leisure (or all of them!), there are many things you’ll enjoy here. Our museums, art galleries, concert halls and exhibitions are as good as you’ll find anywhere and our bars and nightlife reflect the huge student population of a city with three universities.

One of the biggest advantages of coming to study here is that the cost of living is far lower than in comparable cities in the UK, especially London. Also, with its major international airport, Glasgow is an easy place to get to, and the city’s internal transport system is one of the best in the country, with excellent public transport available by subway, bus and overground trains.

It’s easy to get out and about in Scotland from Glasgow. In less than 20 minutes you can be outside the city and in beautiful countryside and in only 50 minutes you can be in Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital and other major city Edinburgh is very different to Glasgow and home to many famous Scottish landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle and the Scottish Parliament building.

Our students are always given the opportunity to improve their all-round language skills in a communicative way. We organise conversations, role-plays, dialogues, presentations and other tasks that allow students to practise all that they have learned and we encourage them to cooperate with other classmates to learn.

We regularly ask for students' feedback and encourage our students to make decisions about what happens in their lessons.

It is important that our students feel that their English is improving, and that our courses meet their needs. Students are assessed weekly to check progress and are given access to additional online learning material to ensure that their needs and goals are being met.
