Chester

The heritage city of Chester is a wonderful location for an English language course for students of all ages. It is also an excellent base for exploring the vibrant cities and beautiful countryside nearby

Chester is a marvellous city to live in and to study in. Our students always love Chester and feel comfortable and at home here. It is a very "English" city, incorporating everything that people think of as typically English, from black and white houses to beautiful parks and gardens. Chester is also a perfect combination of traditional and modern culture. This means that there is a lot for English in Chester students of all ages to see and do throughout the year.

Our city is the perfect size; big enough to offer a really good range of services but not too big to be impersonal. Chester is a thriving university city and is popular with young people. It is one of Britain's most famous heritage cities with a long history, attracting a lot of tourists each year. Our tourist infrastructure is very well-developed. Chester is a safe and welcoming city and both old and young students alike will find something to enjoy.

“It was one of my best experiences. The city is wonderful and I really like the English culture. I met a lot of interesting people and found friends from different countries. I enjoyed my time and learned a lot!”
