"It was just wondeful"

Marselinda Paolini, student from Italy

It was my first experience in Edinburgh and in the ces school.
The school was really nice and well organised.
I enjoyed go every morning and find my class, greeting the teacher
And begin the lessons.
The most interesting thing was to discover this interesting town and go around it.
All afternoon activities was great
The only thing I wanted different was the interest of the teacher in my accent
I will be back next year.

Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying.
