Why study English language with us?

East Sussex College - a quality UK language school plus much more!

1. A QUALITY ENGLISH LANGUAGE SCHOOL IN THE UK (LEWES CAMPUS)

Our Lewes campus is accredited by the British Council and in our previous inspection report we achieved 13 out of 15 areas of strength.

We are based in the beautiful South Downs area of South East England and have three campuses, two on the south coast at Eastbourne and Hastings and one in the historic county town of Lewes near Brighton.

4. Residential and homestay accommodation

We offer residential on-campus self-catering accommodation at our Lewes campus and homestay options at all three campuses

5. Great nationality mix

We work very hard when recruiting students to attract people from all across the world to ensure an enriching cultural experience.

Currently we attract students from all across Europe, Latin America and East Asia.

6. Meeting British students

Whether you are studying alongside British students on the International Study Year or A Level programmes or following an English language course, there are a number of different ways you can meet British people and even make friends with them such as:

  • joining a college activity ( e.g men's and women's football, orchestra, gym, Spanish club)
  • joining a club or society in the local area
7. Successful examination results

We are very proud of our students and their achievements. Examination results in A Levels are consistently outstanding; in 2022, in A Levels, 39 courses achieved a 100 per cent pass rate.

International students have progressed to Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Durham and to many other top universities and conservatoires, including those outside the UK such as Harvard University and the University of Hong Kong.

Our English Language Plus courses now run all year round with no half term breaks so students can join at most times of year.

8. Work hard and play hard!

We understand that as well as enjoying the course, students are looking to make friends and fully experience life in the UK. That is why we do regular trips to places like Cambridge and Thorpe Park theme park so students can be together whilst enjoying a fun activity.
