Booking Conditions

Conditions of Enrolment
  • All course fees must be received before the course starts. Sometimes it can take several days for the money to arrive if you send it through the banks. It is your responsibility to make sure that it arrives in time. All bank charges must be paid by the students.
  • The school reserves the right to refuse admission to any student or to dismiss any student in the event of misconduct or unsatisfactory attendance or work, without refund of fees.
  • Travel, examination fees, coursebooks and the costs of social activities are not included in the fees.
  • No liability is accepted by the school for loss of property or damage to property. We strongly recommend students to take out insurance to cover their possessions, as well as medical insurance for themselves.
  • We reserve the right to cancel or alter a course or to change course timings. If we do so, we will offer an alternative course or a refund.
  • All programmes are subject to availability and minimum class numbers.
  • Holiday allowance: 1 week per 12 weeks studied.
  • Students should arrive Saturday or Sunday at their accommodation. All midweek arrivals are subject to availability and may not be possible year-round. Please check for availability and rates before booking.
  • We will confirm courses on the basis of receiving a deposit of £250 for a course or a course and accommodation.
  • In case of errors with the online fee calculator, British Study Centres reserves the right to settle financial discrepancies on the first day of your course. We will, however, confirm the price offered within 3 working days of an online booking.
Amendment Charges
  • An administration fee of £25 will apply for students wishing to change their course or accommodation in any way.
  • For students wishing to change school location, e.g. from London to Oxford, a second registration fee will not be charged. However, students wishing to book additional accommodation will be charged a £45 accommodation finding fee.
  • Students wishing to move to another British Study Centres school will not gain credit if changing to a school with lower fees.
Cancellation Charges
  • If a course is cancelled more than 1 week before the starting date, there is a £50 administration charge. If accommodation has also been arranged, there is an additional accommodation finding fee of £45.
  • If the course is cancelled less than 1 week before the start date, there is an administration charge of £50. If accommodation has been arranged, there is a cancellation charge of the accommodation finding fee plus one week's accommodation charges.
  • If a course is cancelled less than 24 hours before the course starts or after the student has started there is no refund in any circumstances. If the course is longer than 4 weeks, a credit will be given for the unused part of the course after 4 weeks. This may be used within one year and cannot be transferred to another student.
  • If homestay accommodation is cancelled after a student has arrived at the accommodation, two weeks' notice must be given, or two weeks' accommodation charge paid. If a student requests to change accommodation, an additional accommodation finding fee will be charged. If a student decides to leave the accommodation and asks for a refund, this will be possible for those weeks remaining as long as two weeks' notice is given.
  • If a student cancels a student house, fees will not be refunded unless a replacement booking is found.
  • Students wishing to extend their accommodation must give two weeks' notice. We cannot guarantee the availability of the same homestay. A £45 accommodation finding fee will be charged in the event that the same homestay is not available and a new homestay must be found.
  • If a student cancels a course because they are unable to get a visa and they can provide written evidence of this from the relevant Embassy or Consulate, we will make an administration charge of £50, but we will refund all course fees. Accommodation charges apply as above.
Force Majeure
  • In the event of 'force majeure' such as fire, flooding, infectious diseases and other events outside the company's reasonable control which may cause the closure of the school, no refund of fees will be made to students, except at the school's discretion in exceptional circumstances.
