"It was a very great experience to be at EC in Brighton with other students, I liked to speak English the whole time and I've made lot of friends."

Tessa van Antwerpen, student from Netherlands

The classes were good for the different levels. I only had one teacher and he did it very well! He was very kind and good with students!
Brighton is a great city to stay at and to visit. The people were very lovely and it was nice to be near the sea.
We did many activities and I liked them very much! They had planned great things for us. The social leaders were very sweet and kind, they were so good with students! You can talk and play with them and they make you part of the group!
I liked my home-stay very much. I stayed in a double room and there were two other single rooms. Our host father was very sweet and he liked to talk with the students!

Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from EC Brighton - University of Sussex (Junior). 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.
