Networks and Cyber Security - BSc (Hons)

Northumbria University, Newcastle

One of the best parts of my university experience has been the people. I have had lecturers who are not only knowledgeable but who truly care about how students are doing. They are open to questions and always willing to explain things clearly. That support has helped me build confidence in myself and in my abilities. I have also enjoyed meeting classmates from different backgrounds. It has been interesting to learn from their experiences and see different points of view. What makes it a great place to study is the sense of balance. You are encouraged to be independent and take responsibility for your work, but help is there when you need it. There are also activities and events outside of class that make student life more enjoyable and help you feel part of a community.There are still areas that could be better. Communication from the administration can sometimes be unclear or delayed, which can be frustrating. I also think there could be more opportunities that focus on preparing students for work after graduation.Overall, my experience has been positive. University has challenged me, helped me grow as a person, and given me skills that will stay with me in the future.

It’s a great place to study because of the supportive learning environment, accessible facilities, and strong academic support. The campus offers good study spaces, helpful staff, and opportunities to balance academic work with social life. Being based in a student-friendly city also makes it easier to feel settled and motivated. It could be improved by extending library opening hours during peak assessment periods and offering more consistent communication around deadlines and academic support services.

Well experienced faculties, they’re so friendly and sharing their knowledge on the subject and explaining how it applies in real world theories.

I think Northumbria University is a great place to learn and grow your knowledge, but it would be nice to have more one-to-ones with personal tutors for catch ups and check ins

It has great facilities especially the library the, lots of good computers to use to study, floor 1 and the basement floor has great areas for group study. Some chairs in the CIS building are broken. Some taps in the toilets are too high pressure, water goes everywhere.
