Fantastic uni, people are really friendly and the teaching staff seem really enthusiastic which is amazing because the course sessions then become very interesting and engaging
One of the best student cities to be in, there were some nice people on the course and the quality of teaching was really good. There's easy access to staff, facilities and other support services offered at the uni
There's a clear lack of direction and lack of support from teachers. The course covers a lot of bases with a combined course which is quite ok. Facilities aren't very great and the only part I have seen is the sports central
I had issues with teachers and being cancelled, lack of clarity on assignments though the course was quite good - covers a lot of bases with combined course. There are of events organised by the students union at reasonable process which makes life good at the uni
I love the social aspect and enjoy my seminars and the course. Facilities need modernising, they are only quite ok at the moment.
Enjoyed most of it although there could be some improvements. The course was quite good and there's a mix of History and English and we also get to work with seminar leaders which is amazing. Facilities are good, well equipped although some rooms are very cold. There's mentor groups at the support services centre which is really nice
I have enjoyed it totally - the course is fantastic and the best thing about it is that we have seminars and work with tutors. SU is really good and there's something to do if you want
A lovely experience for me, course is quite good and I love the seminars and workshops organised on the course - they are quite interesting
Good social atmosphere and good facilities and the best part of the course is the opportunity of placement work
Its been good so far, the course is really interesting, facilities are really good but quite expensive
Lack of teaching, lack of understanding. More concerned about getting high grades than enjoying the subject and gaining better skills and knowledge of the subject. Staff felt judgemental, students did too.
Overall a good university. I enjoy my course, lecturers are mostly pretty good. Lots of computers available around campus. Library facilities are good . Love the city of Newvastle also as there is lots to do and everything is close by. University is practically in the centre of everything going on, less than a five minute walk to the main shopping/restuarant/bars in Newcastle city centre.
Really fantastic university, facilities are great and staff uniwide are helpful and friendly, great place to be and location in the best student city in the UK makes it even better
Such a great university, and a great city! The lecturers are helpful and approachable, and the shop staff are great too! The buildings aren't the "prettiest" to look at from the outside, but inside they've really tried to make it a bright and interactive learning environment.
Great uni, good fun, good contacts with lecturers and got to know them, I think that we did need more contact hours and more options about relevant topics e.g. for Psychology a clinical skills group, or more focus on mental health and current climate. Needed more final written feedback for dissertations.
I absolutely love Northumbria!! The city is amazing, as well as the facilities and the Students' Union - I literally don't have a bad word to say about it. The course content for my course is relevant, modern, and really helps me relate my degree to the real world.
Northumbria University has been and is still an amazing university. It's modern approach to education and work has meant that I am constantly supported in however and whenever I need help. The atmosphere here is great too. It is friendly, fun and exciting and I couldnt have asked for anything better out of a university.
Well designed building Bursary scheme fund is excellent Placements are well provided in course and library facilities are good but needs more computers as not enough and Internet connection is often low
4.5
The course is really interesting with varied methods of learning. I am having a great time at Northumbria Uni and would recommend it to those considering to pick this option
