Moving to a new country can pose many challenges, among them being the language barrier. Learning a new language is undeniably tough, but it’s a crucial step to increase your chances of securing employment and forging new friendships within your new community.
We offer several ESOL courses for people whose first language is not English, from those who are total beginners to others who may be a bit more advanced with their English.

It changed my life. It enabled me to learn while being surrounded by other students and of course the great staff.
Studying an Access to Higher Education Diploma is such a fabulous experience at Northern College. It is the most diverse, friendly and supportive educational place I have been. It's also super beautiful.
I was made to feel that I did matter and that I was worthy. I was encouraged and supported when I thought I couldn't do it. Despite all the failures I had previously had at other places, I did it at Northern College because I was supported by people who believed in me.
