We understand that making the decision to return to education as an adult can be quite daunting and there's no better way to find out if Northern College is the place for you, than by attending a Virtual Open Event.

So, whether you’re looking to gain qualifications for the first time, or simply wanting to change career or need funding advice, we’d be delighted to talk to you!

At this event you can ask questions about a wide range of Short Courses which are specifically designed for adults who are returning to education in order to progress to gain employment, retrain for a new career and/or go to university.

At this event there will be chance to take a virtual tour of the campus and you can ask questions regarding our onsite student accommodation.
