English Summer Schools

Westminster Kingsway College offers exciting English summer schools for international students, allowing you to explore all that London has to offer while expanding your experience and confidence. Our English summer schools take place at our Victoria Centre, just a few minutes walk from Westminster Abbey and Big Ben. The centre has a wealth of history and is equipped with great modern facilities and transport links (Victoria, St. James Park and Westminster underground stations all within walking distance) so that all of central London is easily accessible.

Summer schools provide a great opportunity to meet people from around the world. Get to know this renowned city by taking part in our scheduled cultural visits as well as exploring in your own time.

We accept applications from those aged 18 or above. You will receive a certificate of attendance and participation once you have successfully completed the programme.

We work closely with a number of recognised accommodation providers in London and can provide advice and help with booking accommodation and airport transfers.

Visa

If you do not normally need a visa to visit the UK (non-visa nationals), you should be able to study for up to 6 months without applying for a visa in advance. You will need a letter from the college confirming you have been accepted onto a course and will need to see a Border Officer when you arrive in the UK. If you are from a country for which you would usually require a visa to visit the UK or you wish to study for between 6-11 months you will need to apply for a Short Term Study Visa in advance. We are unable to issue Student Route Visas (previously known as Tier 4 General Student Visas) for our summer schools. For further information, please email international@westking.ac.uk
