Worthing is situated on the South coast of England,
placed between the beautiful South Downs and
more than 5 miles of coastline which is the
sunniest in the country. The promenade with its
marvellous Pier is a magnet to visitors who enjoy the beach for swimming,
sunbathing, fishing and windsurfing.
Visitors
have been enjoying the facilities of Worthing since members of the Royal Family
came here in the 18th century. King Edward V11 spent the summers between 1907
and 1910 at Beach House while Oscar Wilde found Worthing such a 'charming town'
that he spent the summer and autumn of 1895 in the town
while he wrote his famous play
'The Importance of
Being Earnest'.
In the modern era visitors
of all types; holiday- makers
as well as students find
Worthing a thriving centre

specialist shops set in pedestrianised streets where you can also take a break

superb theatres and cinemas as well as a mix of dance clubs, bars and cafes.
There are numerous restaurants offering a wide range of food including French,

but small enough for everyone to receive individual attention and get to know
the rest of the students. We have an excellent mix of students from many different
countries and it is our policy to ensure that this continues.
