International Students at NPTC
International
A Message from the Principal... 
A warm welcome to all International Students looking to attend Neath Port Talbot College (NPTC).
I am pleased that you are considering studying in the UK. I hope this guide to NPTC will give you a flavour of what is on offer at the College.
NPTC is one of the largest colleges in Wales and sits in the southwest Wales area. We have eight campuses and more than 15,000 full- and part-time students.
We have very high aspirations for all of our students and have built our reputation on our outstanding results year after year. We have a tremendous track record and as we celebrate the past we are also looking to the future with some exciting projects coming up.
As NPTC continues to go from strength to strength, there has never been a better time to study with us. Not only do we have a wide range of courses for International Students but we have also continued to invest, literally, millions of pounds in the very best resources and facilities available for our students. We are very aware that in a global society universities and employers are not only interested in academic achievement but are also looking for people who have, throughout their time in education, undertaken activities that have taken them beyond their daily studies. As a large College with a global outlook, NPTC is able to provide a world-class experience for you.
I understand that choosing the right college in the UK is a major decision for you and your family. I look forward to welcoming you to NTPC in September.
Remember, I can offer you:
- Outstanding Examination results*
- Exceptional additional ‘free’ English language support along with academic and pastoral support. Gifted and Talented support is available to students in the Sixth Form Academy
- A great, safe and inexpensive place to live and study alongside UK students and families with a Boarding School enrichment programme.
- Outstanding learning facilities with state-of-the-art resources
- A State College founded in 1931 with regional, national and international accolades.
- * The results follow the latest Welsh Government’s Learner Outcomes Report 2010/11, which shows that NPTC was the best performing FE College in Wales for AS/A Level success.
That is why I say that NPTC is: ‘more than just an education’.
