Study at NWRC as an International Student
At NWRC, International Students can study in a modern, supportive learning environment with clear progression opportunities. We welcome students from across the world. Information on the UKs new Visa system can be viewed in detail on their website.
NWRC is a publicly funded Further and Higher Education College in Northern Ireland with approximately 800 staff and 10,000 students. We are committed to high-quality teaching and student support and have achieved recognised quality awards including Investors in People, The Skills for Health Quality Mark, STEM Assured and Matrix.
We offer internationally recognised Ofqual qualifications including Foundation Degrees, HNDs, HNCs, Higher Level Apprenticeships, Level 3, Professional and Vocational courses, with progression routes to universities across Northern Ireland and the UK.
Compliance with UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) requirements is essential. Please visit our International webpage before applying. Some students require a visa - use the UKVI Quick Check to find out. Citizens of the Republic of Ireland DO NOT require a visa to study with us. The Student Visa has replaced the Tier 4 (General) Visa.
We welcome applications from International Students to level three or above courses which lead to a level six qualification (Ofqual qualification)
