There is plenty of support, including personal tutors, who reach out to you, and are always available when you are in need of any support. There are also plenty of activities organized by the university which are always nice to be part of

The class is taught in person for an average of 4 hours across 5 days. This method allows plenty of time between the lecture and also includes breaks in the lectures themselves to maximise the educational grasp of topics taught

Good facilities for the price with multiple planned advantages in having a metro station, and a TESCO chain very nearby. In addition, the staff is kind, helpful, and even organize activities every now and then. The common areas also allow for plenty of recreation and areas for group study- all of which are greatly utilized by its residents.

Northumbria University offers a solid academic experience with good facilities, employability support, and a vibrant student life. With more consistent teaching quality, clearer feedback, and smoother administration, it could be an even better place to study.

Best aspects: The course is delivered through a blended learning approach, combining in-class lectures, tutorials, and independent study, which allows flexibility while still maintaining regular face-to-face interaction. Key modules are supported by practical examples, coursework, and project-based assessments that help link theory to real engineering applications. Lecturers are generally knowledgeable and approachable during lectures and office hours, and most are willing to provide guidance when students seek support. The course structure encourages independent thinking and problem-solving, which is valuable for both academic development and future employment. Worst aspects / areas for improvement: Contact hours can feel limited in some modules, with a strong reliance on self-directed learning. While this promotes independence, clearer explanations and more worked examples during lectures would improve understanding, especially for complex topics. The quality of teaching and engagement varies between modules, and online materials are sometimes not updated consistently. Feedback on assessments can be brief or delayed, making it harder to identify areas for improvement. More interactive sessions, such as tutorials, labs, or industry-focused workshops, would enhance the overall learning experience.
