Flexible start and duration

When you study with International House Bristol you can study for any number of weeks, from two weeks up to one year or longer. Generally, we expect students to start on a Monday and finish on a Friday but apart from that you are free to book whatever programme of weeks of lessons you wish.

It is also possible to take holidays of a certain number of whole weeks within your programme but there are some rules about how much holiday you can take and when you can take it and these are different for students who require a visa.
