Find Your True North at Northern College

Find Your True North at Northern College

‘Life is an adventure,’ is something you’ll hear often in this world.

It’s a concept that encourages you to seize opportunities, explore new corners of the world, meet new people, learn new perspectives, embrace yourself, and find purpose in the process.

At Northern College, this idea is a fundamental part of any learning journey, and our approach to education reflects that.

Whether you spend time in our classrooms and labs or in the boundless boreal forest and lakes surrounding each of our campuses, we can promise you that attending Northern College will be a transformative experience.

Our promise is small class sizes that provide a personalized education with all the support you’ll need to succeed along the way.

You’ll find us off the beaten path, with four unique campuses in northeastern Ontario. Rooted in the unique industrial heritage of this part of the province, our programs are specifically tailored to provide our graduates with the best tools to secure rewarding employment.

HAILEYBURY CAMPUS

You’ll discover Northern’s oldest campus nestled on the banks of Lake Temiskaming in Haileybury, where our institutional story began over a century ago with the founding of the Haileybury School of Mines (HSM).

Designed specifically to equip local students to make the most of the Cobalt silver boom, HSM grew to define the Canadian and global mining industry, marrying practical learning techniques with traditional teaching methods laying the foundation for Northern’s modern approach to education.

Over the past century, this campus has grown to include several programs, including our province-leading suite of Veterinary Sciences programs and our stateof-the-art and recently expanded veterinary sciences facilities.

This lakefront cottage community offers a unique mix of stunning vistas, endless outdoor activities, a busy urban environment, and with small-town charm that we know you’ll love.

KIRKLAND LAKE CAMPUS

You’ll find our Kirkland Lake Campus high on the hill overlooking the community it calls home, with the charm of its retro-aesthetic architecture and the wealth of possibility within its halls, shops, and classrooms.

Home to our suite of worldrenowned welding programs, our Kirkland Lake Campus has long been a destination for students seeking the best education possible in the field. Students combine theory with practice in our sprawling welding shop while participating in real-world welding testing via our Materials and Joining Innovation Centre (MaJIC).

Kirkland Lake is home to many of our trades and technical programs and fosters a close-knit learning environment for its students. Kirkland Lake offers endless outdoor activities and multicultural events for students, along with a healthy number of community activities and historical attractions to keep you busy between classes.

MOOSONEE CAMPUS

Sitting on the banks of the beautiful Moose River, Northern College’s Moosonee Campus is unique in Ontario as the northmost postsecondary campus in the province. Serving as an educational gateway for the numerous Indigenous communities that dot the James and Hudson’s Bay coastline, our Moosonee Campus is home to many programs specifically designed to meet the unique needs of those communities.

A short boat ride from its sister community, Moose Factory, our Moosonee campus is rooted in unique Indigenous cultures and ways of knowing drawn from the ancestral lands it calls home.

This campus offers students a truly unique educational experience, with numerous annual events, career fairs, cultural festivals, fishing and hunting opportunities, and, of course, the once-in-a-lifetime chance to see Beluga Whales during the spring thaw.

Thanks to Northern’s network of Access Centres in the smaller communities that comprise the region, those seeking to prepare themselves for College have access to the tools they need, with preparatory courses required for a direct path to earning an education with us.

TIMMINS CAMPUS

Home to Northern’s central campus, Timmins offers the best of outdoor life close by along with the benefits of city living—including dozens of festivals, restaurants, and a healthy nightlife. The Timmins Campus is a hub of activity that offers students a multidisciplinary experience.

Here, you’ll find truly unique facilities like our Integrated Emergency Services Complex, which houses our Police Foundations, Pre-Service Fire Fighter, and Paramedic programs. Students train and study in the same building as active Police, Fire, and Paramedic Services.

Our Timmins Campus is also home to our renowned Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, which, thanks to close ties with local health providers, allows students to access career-defining internships.

Northern College has so much to offer students; as you’ll find, it is well worth the trip to our natural corner of the world, where the skies are big, the wilderness boundless, and the experiences unforgettable. We know you’ll fall in love with living in the calm and spectacular North, where the cost of living is lower, jobs are higher paying, and opportunities abound. Career-wise, you will be in high demand and have an unrivalled nature-filled after-work lifestyle.

Be sure to keep an eye out for our recruitment team as they travel the province visiting schools and telling our story— one of opportunity, adventure, student success, and you. While Northern may be smaller than our competitors size-wise, we’ve made a habit of punching above our weight class by putting students first, providing a large number of scholarships, bursaries, and awards, and developing nurturing and accessible relationships with industry partners to develop programs that lead directly to employment for our graduates.
