Northumbria is always trying to make itself a better uni for students. It is already a very good uni, if not the best. They have a large number of courses and combined honours can help you select two or more different subjects and can help you create a degree as unique as you can think of, even though the subjects you choose are not related to each other. If you come to Northumbria, you should be well prepared for crazy drinking on nights out and it is pretty normal to come home totally drunk and not remembering anythin next morning.

Northumbria University has been a great experience, the facilities and provision are incredible. The only downside was when the Lipman building got damaged by a storm late into my second year, moving my lectures from one building to the other side of the campus. However, on the flip side, this can be viewed as a positive change as the inconvenience allowed me to experience new buildings in and around the university, for both lectures and socially.

My course is predominantly taught in-class, with both lectures and seminars occurring on-site at the university city campus. Being a small course, it allows for a lot of 1-1 conservating with the lecturers which is a massive benefit in one respect as it has been able to improve my learning. Also having a small course has been a benefit due to the close knit nature of our cohort, everyone is so welcoming, and it removes that element of judgment when someone gets an answer wrong. Everybody is willing to help one another. However, one negative of a small course means that often, the lectures can get cancelled due to no one showing up, or they move online which is a suitable substitute.
