To book accommodation you must fill in the accommodation section on the Enrolment Form. Accommodation includes room and board as indicated. Personal Insurance is not included.
We regret that bookings cannot be accepted for a single student at the individual rate for a twin room. Where two persons share a room the rate charged is for two individuals. Accommodation for teenagers and juniors on vacation courses is offered on a full-board basis only with a packed lunch.
We can also arrange executive, short-term lets and hotel accommodation on request.
