Here at Northumberland College we believe that as we are part of Europe and indeed the world, we should prepare our students to work anywhere they may find a job available.

You will find that studying at Northumberland College often provides you with the chance to travel to other countries as part of your course, and find out what it’s like to be a student in that country.

You may also have the chance to do a work placement abroad in your subject area, providing you with new knowledge and skills and improving your chances of employment back here in the UK.

Some courses have developed partnerships with similar courses at colleges in other countries, so that students in each country can work together on a topic of common interest, via the internet and even by visits to each other.

And even more good news is that all of these opportunities to travel and see other countries and colleges are free to students, thanks to organisations like the British Council who finance the college to develop these opportunities.

The college currently has partner colleges and organisations in Norway, Finland, Germany, France, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Denmark, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Estonia and Lithuania, and worldwide, has recently developed a link with Sri Lanka.

So if you decide to study at Northumberland College you may end up going further than you thought!
 

Weather forces college closures

Northumberland College was forced to close its centres this morning (Thursday) due to the ongoing snow.

All students are advised that there will be no lessons this afternoon or evening at any centres. The college expects to open as normal again tomorrow (Friday).

The college phone system is currently down, so we are unable to take any calls.

Engineers are working hard to fix the problem and hope to have the system back up and running soon. In the meantime, you can email advice.centre@northland.ac.uk or use the Live support service via the button on this home page to access our contact centre staff.

Apologies for any inconvenience.
