Accommodation

If you are in accommodation arranged by ICS, it is strictly Sunday arrival and Saturday departure, i.e. you arrive in the accommodation on the day before your course at ICS starts, and you depart the day after your course at ICS finishes.

Accommodation comprises of breakfast and an evening meal from Monday to Friday plus lunch at the weekend.

Social Events and excursions

The school organises some social events and excursions, which are included in the tuition, but students will be asked to pay extras, such as their own drinks on pub nights or entry charges to clubs or other places of interest.  Information on these events will be posted as soon as possible.

If groups or individuals would like an extra activity or excursion, we can provide the organization free of charge, but students will be responsible for all costs (e.g. public transport, entrance fees, food and drinks, guides).

Insurance

Ask your travel agent or insurance office for full travel insurance which will compensate you if you have to finish your course early and which will pay for medical expenses, loss of luggage or possessions, or other liabilities arising from your stay in the UK.
