More student life inclusion activities like Freshers week, monthly or Bi monthly activities that include fun activities and mixtures to let intentional students mingle and get to know about perks of being an international student and grow fully as an individual, also outdoor activities among students from different courses would help because networking is as equally important as academic merit
The student union is for the students we have over 120 societies which are accessible to everyone! It’s directly in town which makes it a perfect place to study especially when moving away from home there’s everything you need.
Everything is perfect and it is as i expected.When selecting my university i did loads of research comparing many universities and finally i selected here and that was the best decision of my life. Teachers, classes, environment, facilities, student support all of that, i can say peak satisfaction.
THIS IS THE BEST UNI EVER!!!!!
I like my uni because of the supportive lecturers, the modules are so interesting. Am studying in London campus, hmm I wish I study in Newcastle cuz Newcastle have lot of facilities compared to London campus.
i like the accessibility to study spaces and how there’s such a wide range of places to study.
Student union is amazing , holding countless events to include everyone. All staff always feel really friendly and welcoming. A negative though is that I feel like lots of the information on my course is stuff that is supposed to be know already before getting there which made 1st year a lot harder
The university is located in a great location with the library and leisure facilities close by. There are plenty of places to go for food and drinks, such as the student union, which provides lovely food at a low cost. I would like to see an improvement in knowledge of student support areas, as I personally would not know where to go if I needed help other than maybe asking for help? I think there should also be more quiet space to study.
The best aspects are the people and the lecturers are very helpful where possible, the sports societies are also very welcoming and competitive at the same time. The way it could be improved is some of the facilities are not as up to date as others, in my opinion this means that experience can vary from course to course rather than all students having a similar experience.

I love the 'Be Part Of It' programme; it’s so good for meeting new people, trying new things and learning more about Newcastle! It makes Northumbria really stand out from other unis.
Student support is amazing and the central body makes it so easy to access, especially 24/7.
Support facilities are good.
The location of the University as well as the student support makes the study experience here really pleasant. It can be improved by adding more opportunities for International representation.
I love the uni so much; it's such a comfortable environment for international students such as myself.
Extremely supportive and knowledgeable staff. Could improve by providing more funding for research facilities.
The best aspects are the technology in the university; the systems are good. The labs are very good; the website and learning materials on the portal and digital learning are the best. The bad part is social life is very limited here. There are fewer students in class. There are very few events, and those are also arranged by the students themselves. So studying here is good somehow for education but bad for enjoying. I am talking about the London campus. I study there.
The facilities are quite modern and receive updated amenities every year. Some areas can do with some repairs or renovations.
I love Be Part of It, it’s a great way to try new things at university on a student friendly budget!


The best is the cost and the worst is my room flooded
