Absolutely amazing beautiful place. Can’t fault anything about. Adult education at its best.

Absolutely beautiful place to learn, stunning scenery to help set you at ease with staff and tutors that go above and beyond. I can't express how much Northern College has helped me.

Absolutely loved my time at Northern College and would recommend to everyone as it's the best thing I did.

Everyone I've met has been great, from the teaching staff to cleaning staff, all really friendly and welcoming. The gardens and grounds are amazing. I'm so glad to be able to study here.
