Why Seneca College - Newnham 

  • Campus life: Students have the opportunity to get involved in athletics and physical activity through recreational leagues and fully equipped fitness centers, or join one of 80+ clubs and associations offered at the College. Students can become part of the Seneca Student Federation which helps students engage with the Seneca community, building lasting relationships, while having fun in the process.
  • Services: A student's transition to life at Seneca is made as easy as possible with International Student Services which includes free airport pickup, housing/accommodation assistance, orientation, academic advisors, counselling, free English assistance and peer tutoring, and international student clubs. 
  • Real-world experience: Seneca believes in creating great student experiences that provide enriching learning opportunities — both inside and outside of the classroom.

These enriching experiences will give students an edge when they enter the workforce or pursue further studies.
  • Location: All of Seneca's campuses are located in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).  Toronto is the largest city in Canada and one of the world's most multi-cultural cities with over 70 ethnic groups and more than 140 spoken languages and dialects. Participate in group activities to the GTA's many attractions like the CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium, Casa Loma castle, the Ontario Science Centre, the Toronto Zoo, The Art Gallery, and the Royal Ontarion Museum.  Students can also partake in ice skating, go-karting, movie nights, shopping, skiing, bowling, international days and more.

A cooperative education experience ("co-op"), provides academic credit for structured job experience. Co-ops are full-time, paid or unpaid positions. Internships may be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid positions.
    Even if you do NOT meet our minimum English requirement (IELTS or TOEFL), you still can get conditionally accepted in the program of your choice with the condition of completing our English program prior to starting your chosen program.
