Where we are!

Northern Regional College provides courses and services to both its local and international student community.  All of our campuses are based or in close proximity of areas of great natural beauty.

Belfast may grab all the attention, but while the Northern Ireland capital is now one of the top city break destinations in Europe, with cool boutiques, hip bars and stunning Victorian architecture, there’s a lot more to County Antrim than just the urban buzz of its biggest city.

With one of the most awesome sights in the world – the Giant’s Causeway – an exceptionally beautiful coastline, historic castles and nine sublimely scenic glens, Antrim will win you over with its many charms.
A picturesque county in the north west of Northern Ireland, Londonderry is famed for its tranquillity, scenic beauty, lovely beaches and the lively town of Coleraine.

Londonderry is one of the longest continuously inhabited counties in Ireland, and for good reason. This pretty county boasts delightful scenery as well as many fascinating sites. A must-see on any visit has to be the breathtaking Mussenden Temple, an awe-inspiring spot perched on the edge of a cliff edge.

If you’re a fan of outdoor living then Londonderry is the place to be with wonderful rivers, lakes, country parks and the wonderful Sperrin Mountains to enjoy.
