Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology

About the study place

Seneca Polytechnic (formerly Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology) is located in the Toronto region in the province of Ontario, Canada, with several campuses situated in and around the city.

Toronto is Canada’s largest city and an important centre for education, business and culture. The city offers a diverse student and urban environment, with museums, concerts, sporting events and good opportunities for part‑time work alongside studies. Nature is also easily accessible, with parks throughout the city and excursion options to Lake Ontario and nearby natural areas. At the same time, Toronto has a high cost of living, particularly when it comes to housing. Many students therefore choose to live in shared accommodation or slightly outside the city centre to reduce expenses. According to travel advice from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (regjeringen.no), Canada is considered a safe country to stay in.

Seneca Polytechnic is one of Canada’s largest institutions for practice‑ and profession‑oriented higher education. Seneca is known for its close collaboration with industry, strong practical components, and programmes designed to prepare students for specific professional roles.
