Northern Alberta
Institute Of Technology Canada
Welcome to the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) - a large
Canadian publicly funded polytechnic / trade institution located in Alberta,
Canada. With over 40 years of experience in teaching and training, we are an
outstanding polytechnic institute committed to student success in a global
economy. NAIT is located in Edmonton – a city renowned as one of the most
prosperous cities in Canada. Currently, more than 600 international students
across the globe enjoy our high quality of education on our nine campuses.
The city of Edmonton is the capital of the province of Alberta, and is home to
approximately one million people. And, city is known as the City of Champions –
provides numerous opportunities for students to participate in festivals,
multicultural activities and sports. With four distinct seasons and plenty of
sunshine year round, Edmonton residents focus on outdoor fun. They are also
proud supporters of several professional sports teams, including the Edmonton
Oilers NHL hockey team. The city of Edmonton is located on the western Canadian
prairies, just east of the Rocky Mountains. It is only a few-hours drive to two
of the world known National Parks: Jasper and Banff National Parks. NAIT
students enjoy visiting Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper to try skiing,
snowboarding and hiking in Canada’s mountain playground.
NAIT’s Exciting Range of Programs
We offer an amazing array of programs leading to certificates (one year),
diplomas (two years) and degrees (four years) in a wide range of areas:
business, IT and Communications, engineering technologies, environmental
management, hospitality, health science and English as a Second Language (ESL).
Our class sizes are kept small so that students get personal attention from
instructors and can take full advantage of the hands-on approach to learning
that leads to success.
