More Than Just a Language Course

Studying at the UCT English Language Centre is about more than what happens in the classroom. It’s about the people you meet, the places you explore, and the memories you make along the way. From the moment you arrive, we aim to make your experience enriching, supportive, and enjoyable — both academically and socially.

We offer a range of carefully selected accommodation options to suit different preferences, lifestyles and budgets. Whether you're looking for a lively student house, a quiet homestay, or the independence of a private studio, we can help you find a place that feels like home. Our team will support you with advice and guidance before your arrival and throughout your stay.

And then there’s Cape Town — one of the most beautiful and culturally diverse cities in the world. With mountains, beaches, local markets, museums and nature reserves all within easy reach, the city becomes part of your learning journey. Our social programme, campus events and weekend excursions help you explore it all in a safe and enjoyable way, while using your English in real-life situations and building friendships with fellow students from around the world.
