About the country

About the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom, made up of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, is the birthplace of the English language. From the cosmopolitan streets of London to the historic stone buildings of Edinburgh, and from the long university tradition of Oxford and Cambridge to the seaside feel of Brighton, it brings very different atmospheres together. It is a natural choice for anyone who wants to learn English at its source.

Alongside General English and exam preparation, the UK offers programmes for professionals, summer programmes that combine English with activities, and professional development courses for teachers. Big cities such as London, Manchester, Liverpool and Edinburgh are popular with students, as are university cities like Oxford and Cambridge and seaside towns such as Bournemouth and Brighton.

Seen from Türkiye, the UK is a flight of a few hours away, with direct connections from Istanbul to London and several other major cities. Rail and coach networks link cities across the country, so while studying in one place you can explore other regions at weekends, turning your time abroad into a richer experience.

  • Cities of every scale, from London and Brighton to Oxford and Cambridge
  • A wide range, from short language courses to university pathways
  • A short flight from Türkiye, with easy weekend access to Europe

    Choose between London's fast pace, the academic atmosphere of Oxford and Cambridge or the seaside life of Bournemouth, depending on your goals and your style.
