Brexit depreciation: Now’s the perfect time for affordable study tours to the UK

By MOOK Scenic Spots Editorial Team, compiled and reported

Brexit has greatly impacted global stock and forex markets, with the British pound continuously depreciating — but for those planning to study or travel in the UK, it's an unexpected windfall. STAGE Study Abroad manager Lei Xinyi stated that this year’s UK study tour packages can generally be at least NT$20,000–30,000 cheaper. Coupled with additional savings on shopping, transportation, and other expenses due to the falling exchange rate, studying in the UK this year is truly a lucky opportunity to get more for less. With many UK study and travel providers in the market, choosing an experienced and distinctive UK study tour operator ensures that students can not only enjoy cost savings but also have a joyful experience on their overseas life journey.

STAGE Study Abroad manager Lei Xinyi recommends studying in culturally rich London. As Europe’s largest city and the cultural and artistic capital of English-speaking countries, London boasts famous historical landmarks such as Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey. Art and culture enthusiasts shouldn’t miss world-renowned institutions like the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate Modern, and the National Gallery.

For those interested in schools, the University of Law, London is recommended. It is a world-renowned law school, formerly known as the College of Law London. Its English courses are provided by Embassy English. The campus is located in a safe and quiet area, close to the University of London, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, the British Museum, and near Goodge Street Underground Station. Yet it is also not far from the bustling Oxford Street, Theatre District, and Covent Garden, where you’ll find a variety of shops, restaurants, pubs, and more. Studying here allows you to experience the best of London’s highlights. Embassy English offers seven English levels, with interactive teaching methods focused on practical, everyday English, integrating British culture and a variety of interesting topics into the curriculum, making it suitable for students of all levels for short-term study. Located in central London, students can make full use of their afternoons to explore London’s attractions with guides or on their own, and weekend trips are arranged to places like Cambridge and Windsor Castle. Upon course completion, students will receive a certificate from Embassy English — the perfect memento and proof of this enriching journey.

In addition, you can take the convenient Eurostar to leave London and head to the completely different atmosphere of Paris, the City of Light. There, you can visit world-famous must-see attractions such as the Louvre, Champs-Élysées, and the Arc de Triomphe, and sample essential delicacies including café au lait, macarons, and French croissants.

STAGE Study Abroad is currently collaborating with the University of Law, London to offer various distinctive study tours. Sign up for the STAGE Winter UK–France Study Tour before January 20th to enjoy an early bird discount of NT$6,800, which includes a visit to Warner Bros.
