The opportunities that was available with my course. I managed to study abroad I'm a dual degree programme and with this an internship abroad that gained me international experience as well as little bit of travel. The support system from the university in general is incredible and overall very inclusive, unlike the other University in the city. It's very humbling. The final year choices of whether to do a dissertation, management report or an undergraduate consultancy project was the most relevant. Our choices not only fitted our learning style to set us up for success, but also incredibly relevant for our course. Giving us the real word experience in our field. Improvement wise, the only thing I can say about it is the module in the first semester of final year was harder and heavier than expected, which took a toll mentally and emotionally.
can improve by changing some of the lecturers/teachers
There is no person the same you meet new people everyday, I have loved meeting new friends and creating memories together that will last a life time. However there isn’t much help around course transfers, I have wanted to switch course since the October and I have been refused because I am unaware of what courses have space and I feel it would be easier if for students hat wish to switch they are provided with a list of courses with space.
Such a great university, the ask4help support system has been a lifesaver and so helpful, I’m glad I can go to them about anything I need
The best aspect I have experienced is the tutors professionalism and friendliness. The worst aspect is the overall student environment I am facing, in my course, we are only 8 students and none of us are friends or are living the regular student life.
The student support is amazing and the student union is great. The student website could be improved but is still good.

The best part about the campus is that it is clean and safe all times even late at night. Constantly staffs and security are roaming around the campus to keep students safe. Secondly the faculty and environment at CIS and Trinity building is just perfect for computer related courses. Worst part is nothing much to be honest, because the professors are great, staffs in the administration and office based team are also very helpful and kind, there is also a 24/7 online dedicated team for students and professors to help solve any issues. Thank you very much, the University in overall is just great.
The library and setting of the campus is welcoming and very accessible. I don't really know much about the student union and some facilities could be improved but overall it is a very nice uni
Diversity and different opportunities that they offer (academic and personal) is one of the key features of this university.

Full of opportunities of any kind and things to do, a great place for students. Campus has any kind of facility but is, in my opinion, not pretty.
I'm from a less densly populated part of England, so the transition to big city was and still is challenging.
Best aspect of uni is the campus specifically the architecture building.
Yeh architecture course enables me to sit in my own personal workspace and work around other peers, everyone is very kind and the facilities are clean.
Sports communities and social life is definitely the best. They could improve on teacher-student support. The location is perfect as it is in the centre of the city and walking around is always nice. There is always a friendly face so it makes the university community super friendly
student support could be better
Student support services could be better, SAP's for physical health reasons feel like they're just blatantly ignored
The city is good, along with the university itself such as the library etc.
The uni experience has been amazing for me, I have met amazing people on my course and in societies, found myself very engaged in all my lectures and loved the support that has been offered by the university. The university has amazing facilities which I constantly make use of and they are always kept to an amazing standard of care.
Really great location, central great support from grad futures team


Northumbria university was one of my top picks when applying for uni as the site is just perfect. So close to the Main Street shops and food places. Perfect nightlife which is so close to the Uni. So far I haven’t had a bad experience with the university so I’m hoping to keep that going the rest of my time at the Uni.
I feel like the course kinda starts a little bit to easy for university understandably people need to settle back into education but some tasks felt a bit Highschooly. Other than that I have enjoyed doing projects with my fellow piers and learning about architecture with amazing tutors and facilities.
