About Guernsey
Guernsey is one of the Channel Islands, off the coast of Normandy in France. It is a Crown Dependency: it belongs to the British Crown and uses English, but it is not part of the United Kingdom and has its own government, the States of Guernsey. According to the States of Guernsey, the island had 64,781 inhabitants on 31 December 2023, 1.4% more than a year earlier. The capital and main harbour is St Peter Port.
For students, Guernsey is a small island community where English is the everyday language. It suits learners who want a short English course away from big cities rather than a full degree.

Entry and visas
Guernsey is part of the Common Travel Area with the UK, Ireland, Jersey and the Isle of Man, and applies the same standard of immigration controls. According to the Guernsey immigration service, a UK visit visa also allows you to visit the Bailiwick of Guernsey, so no separate visa is needed. Since 23 April 2026, non-visa nationals travelling to Guernsey from outside the UK and the islands need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). Permission for the UK does not let you live or work in Guernsey without approval from the island's own authorities, so check with the Guernsey immigration service before a longer stay.
Cost of living
No official figures for student rents or living costs are published. Guernsey has its own government and tax system, so prices are not the same as in the UK; ask the school for the cost of accommodation and local transport before you arrive.
Getting there and daily life
Flights to Guernsey take from about 40 minutes, from UK airports including London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London City, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Southampton, and from Dublin. Ferries take from three hours from the UK and two hours from France, with a direct ferry from Saint-Malo. Travellers arriving from outside the UK or Ireland need a valid passport. On the island, buses connect St Peter Port with the rest of the island, and many distances can be covered by bike or on foot. The climate is mild and maritime.
