university has been a great experience and I have made lots of friends. When coming to uni I would not only look at the uni facilities but the city as well.
Really good city to live in, courses are interesting, tutors are helpful. However, clubs and societies aren't very well advertised/ not much variety in what is on offer. Regardless the little flaws, I'm sure you will never live something like here in Uni. Have fun and study hard
Make sure you use the variety of resources available to help you in your studies and have a look at the societies. Student Union is more than helpful and the field trips are really enjoyable. A lot of books to read for my course and a lot of essays and exams. Make sure you choose your course right
Great atmosphere for new students; great eye candy average 8's ; excellent resources by the lecturers; TOON ARMY!!; Plenty and diverse sport clubs, society and people. My uni is the best for me and for everyone here I guess so why not join us
Northumbria sports gym needs a good squat rach. The only flaw on facilities matter. City life is awesome. Not to be bothered when I'm eating my sandwich would be amazing. Don't bother your future friends while eating! Enjoy your stay here
I am really enjoying uni but not many societies to join other than sport ones. My advice would be to have courage, be adventurous and enjoy everything you have as time goes by quickly when you are at uni. Be yourself and not change for anything in the world,otherwise this will cause you problems with your social life.
the university is great, but really think deep what course you want to do. It's important otherwise the experience isn't that good. I did a great choise and now I am happy sharing this with you. English Literature is the best course if you want to become a teacher.
I would recommend Northumbria to any student, although the University is not perfect. The overall atmosphere and support network is flawless. The city and University is a brilliant area for student life and the tutors and modules are great. Very challenging experience but I am sure you will never forget it.
I am now at the University of Northumbria after looking for the right university for me. Its been a very exciting experience. i have made a lot of friends and find the University life pretty interesting. Overall, there is not a drastic change in me.
My uni is providing me with all of the experience and material I will require to obtain a great job. Great facilities and the lecturers are friendly and helpful. Great uni
I am in my 2nd year at Northumbria, I enjoy my course and the university although the student support here could be better. Be prepared to work hard.Doing a degree is hard work!
Uni life is good. Be sure to enjoy yourself properly. Attend every class even if you are just sleeping. My course is very hard because there are a lot of workshops and work to do by yourself. Make sure you choose the right course so you don't have to regret after
Everyone is always in search of making friends and groups. Newcastle, the toon city will make you see fancy clothing and short clothes even if it's raining or snowing Most of the people in the clubs are students. The city is very safe and the uni life is very enjoyable!
I really enjoy it. It is my first year and it completely changed my life. It is different from the way it was before. It is very hard sometimes but if you struggle you can get through all the hard times easily
Make the most of the resources and facilities are offering. Make the most of first year, it doesn't last forever.My advice for new students is to study hard and have fun everyday. Make good friends and move in halls.
Access to learning materials is quite good, with accurate information. The UNI doesn't allow students to plagiate. Nightlife is decent enough with sensible prices and venues.
I am enjoying my time at Northumbria University. The best part of uni life is meeting different people with different cultures and backgrounds, learning to be independent. I lived in halls for my first year which i would definitely recommend, because you will meet all different types of people, all of them looking to make new friends.
I have enjoyed uni so much and have learned a great deal. I would suggest that people study hard so they can get best not to be discourged as it can be lonely but to keep talking to people in uni.
Each year is as important as the next one in my opionon. Northumbria University gave me a lot of challenges and a lot of opportunities as well so I would recommend it to everyone who wants to have a big career


Use youtube videos, invaluable. Turn up to lectures, even if it is just to sleep. Learn to revise properly and make proper notes. You will always have one lecturer that sucks, deal with it. Volunteer as much as possible and enjoy it!
