Great quality facilities for the psychology department with a lot of groundbreaking research taking place!
best aspect is friendly staff and amazing student union. could be improved by more general student interaction
Love it
I honestly have had such a great experience at this University. They have shown great interest in the students and genuinely care about us. For any issue that I needed resolved, I simply went to the Ask 4 Help and got everything situated right away. When it comes to the activities offered, they are such a great help to find opportunities for jobs, club, volunteering, etc. Also, having a mental health week has given the students the chance to seek help, and give more comfort when confronting any issue.
Everything about the university is great, being an international student i feel at home even tho it’s truly across the Atlantic, but it’s got amazing support and facilities and it’s a great place to learn
Everything about the uno is amazing that is the best. The worst aspects are the fact that there are so many great things about the uni that I would waste so much time talking about them!
great
The size of the facilities and the equipment at hand are very useful tools for success within the university. Clarification for buildings and classes would be a great improvement, especially for first years.
The library's great. I studied ghere, had fun there, pretty sure I've spent more time in the room than in lectures or seminars. Nu could probably be improve having chargers in the lecture rooms and the rooms get hot really fast so yeah... something to note about ig. And most lectures should ideally be recorded.
Best part is the support we get from Lecturers.
The city makes it a great experience to feel at home especially in my case coming from overseas. At first you were scared but once I got involved with my teams and school activities I now consider this place home and want to stay for as long as I can. The teachers actually love what they are doing and help us enjoy learning about our modules and to keep the information they help us do in class activities and give us extra work to do outside of school if we want but just the effort they do to do the extra things mean a lot and shows they care because they don’t have to do that and could make us look up and find more information ourselves. The city really is beautiful and the people are wonderful you can’t get enough of the Geordies some of the realest people out there! So this is why Northumbria university the school I choose to study and continue my athletic career is the best out there!!
Improvements: Increase inclusivity such as culture groups, and provide more efficient help regarding accommodation.
The best part about my life in northumbria university is that I get to wake up everyday and go to a place that I enjoy. There are all kinds of activities at the student union that you'll never have time to get bored. Never being bored voild also be counted as the worst part of being her, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
Campus is easy to get around and facilities are good. Lectures are delivered well , however lab sessions and workshops dont engage well with the topics being studied.
Northumbria University is a great place to study because there is so many opportunities to explore. The facilities here are amazing and you can get support whenever needed. Newcastle is an amazing city and student life is good here as there is so much you can do, including nightlife, joining a society and more.
Amazing facilities, amazing staff , amazing follow up support just very overwhelming and Emora site is very hard to use

First gen student
The best thing about my uni are the people whether it is my fellow classmates or our teachers, everyone is just so friendly and welcoming. One improvement my university can make is by increasing parking spaces.
The location and amenities are amazing but the socialization is a bit difficult for new second year students
It's in the heart of Newcastle City centre and I've made so many friends It's such a sociable university whilst also helping me focus on my studies


love it
