What others are saying

Staying residentially at Northern College meant that I could study at my own pace and use the library facilities. It has been one learning journey for me and hopefully I will return shortly to progress onto an Access to Higher Education course.

Thank you Northern College and to the amazing tutors that have so much passion in what they do and who passed that passion and enthusiasm on to us, the students.

An amazing place of learning. Inclusive, supportive, relaxed and welcoming. I’ve met great people on courses at Northern College. Plus, it’s set in beautiful countryside.
