Study in Bristol

Study in Bristol with EF and immerse yourself in a city frequently ranked as the most innovative in all of Britain.

Bristol is known as ‘Science City’ thanks to its two prestigious universities and a vibrant high-tech industry. For the past decade or so, the city has come to be closely associated with research, innovation and enterprise in fields ranging from aerospace design to environmental technology. Study in Bristol and discover this city which is not just a research center, but also home to Britain’s liveliest street art scene led by the Bristol-born Banksy.

Our study programs are held at the EF language center in the famous Custom House, designed by renowned architect Sydney Smirke. When not in class, our students can be found lounging on the grass in the adjacent Queen’s Square. The manicured park is a center of life, as locals gather daily for picnics and to watch the World Cup on giant screens or celebrate the city’s international balloon fiesta.
