Located close to both the UK and Europe, the island of Jersey offers a one-of-a-kind setting for studying.
Known for its stunning beaches, clean air, and exceptionally low crime rate, it’s one of the safest places to live, work, and study.
The island also boasts a remarkably rich past, with Neolithic sites, medieval castles, as well as bunkers and fortifications from World War II.
Despite its small size—14.8 km by 19.3 km—Jersey has so much to offer visitors, and our host families will be your best guides to uncovering its hidden gems.
Travelling to Jersey
The island is well connected to major UK airports, including London Gatwick, Heathrow, Luton, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and Exeter, as well as a range of European destinations.
Sea links also exist with the UK via Portsmouth and Poole; and France via St. Malo or Granville.
Our team can provide guidance before travel, and host families are available to welcome students upon arrival, helping them settle into their new home with confidence.
Transport in Jersey
Once in Jersey, everything is close by. The island’s compact size means students spend less time travelling and more time making the most of their experience, whether studying, exploring the coastline or spending time with friends.
Liberty Bus (libertybus.je) provide regular buses around the island and our team will help arrange a card for international students to use. We will also help them identify the relevant school buses if required.
Phoning from Jersey
The JCG Foundation works with local phone providers to give international students access to Jersey sim cards to ensure they can get in touch with their local host family or our team when needed, without paying roaming rates.
