Most of their courses are fully funded for eligible adults aged 19 and over up to studying at level 2, and financial support is available for courses from level 3 upwards. So, you may be able to study for free.

Many students describe their experience of studying at Northern College for adults as life changing, the college has excellent achievement rates and is rated outstanding by Ofsted.

Yultan Mellor, Principal and Chief Executive, explains:

“We are delighted to announce this new partnership with South Pennine Community Transport to launch our new bus service.

“This discounted bus service will bring students right into our campus for the first time. The timetable is designed with students in mind, to sit alongside our course timetable, and will bring you directly to our front door.

“This will benefit many of our students who use public transport to come to college, making travel much easier for them at times to suit. It will support students applying for our new courses from January 2022.”

South Yorkshire Combined Authority provides funding to Northern College to support its residents to achieve and progress.

Mayor of South Yorkshire, Dan Jarvis, said: “I greatly admire the work that Northern College do to upskill adults in our region, helping them to achieve their goals – whether that is to study at university or have a career change. Supporting people to improve their skills and secure good jobs is absolutely critical to the success of our people and places across South Yorkshire.

“It is great to see the launch of a new bus service to the campus, giving thousands of prospective learners across South Yorkshire better access to high quality education opportunities and giving drivers a green alternative to their journey.”
