Northern Regional College is actively involved in international projects that enhance global learning and collaboration. These include the British Council’s Green Skills Development Programme, aimed at promoting sustainable practices and skills for the future, and the annual Global Perspectives on Health and Social Care event, which connects students and professionals from Europe and the U.S. in a shared online learning experience.
We are currently not a licensed Tier 4 visa sponsor, so we cannot accept full-time international students who require visa sponsorship. You are eligible to enrol if you are:
• A UK or Irish citizen
• An EU national with Settled or Pre-Settled Status
• Or have another immigration status that gives you the right to study in the UK
If you are a FE student studying a full-time Foundation Degree course at the College, you could spend a full academic year studying at a college or university in the United States through the Study USA programme. Each year, 50–60 students from Northern Ireland take part. It is a great chance to broaden your education and experience American campus life. The scholarship funding package is worth approximately £50,000.
Applications are now open for 2027/28. To find out more, including full eligibility criteria, and to apply visit British Council website.
