not enough time between lessons
Northumbria University is an excellent institution that offers extensive support to international students who are striving for success. I find my course to be exciting, relevant to the current context, and one of the most demanding professions. The faculty and students are friendly, supportive and welcoming. I have had the opportunity to work on various group projects through my course, which has allowed me to get to know other students better. The staff are also very supportive, providing regular feedback on my work and self-progress. The online course is fantastic, as it is convenient for me to attend university while living in a different city and having a full-time job. Furthermore, the hospitality at Northumbria University is top-notch.
Societies and students union make the university experience amazing. I wouldn’t be who I am if not for the society I joined in the first year. Also, I loved the Summer short program in Mexico organised by study abroad team - a dream come true. Ask for help team could be more helpful when answering students queries and not ignore students enquiries. I had to wait for 3 weeks for a response, and they responded just because they found out I contacted the team I needed to contact myself.

The university is very welcoming with lots of support offered to students. The course content itself is planned out well and interesting. On top of this, the campus has lots of great places for food, drinks and studying.
I love the uni
Choosing Northumbria University was hands down the best decision I’ve ever made. Brilliant module and great tutors!
It is a great place to study, the facilities are very modern and the campus is well maintained. The University and students' union always propose good activities. Student support is great too, always write to us to tell ow we feel.
It is a great place to study, with amazing people.
I enjoy the sport aspect of uni, but coach lane campus is too far out of the way. The gym is always too busy and small, needs updating. The Northumberland building feels old and lecture halls are always either freezing or boiling
I had a very good experience so far as a first year international people. Staff is extremely helpful friendly and welcoming. I did not regretted my choice of university at all.
The campus is very modern and up to date but I prefer the feel of older unis when I walk through them such as Newcastle university. Great place to study as staff are friendly and there is always something going on with the student union
Modern technology and facilities to use. Easy to get to location of campus.
They have great facilities dedicated for each course.
It is a beautiful place with a nice campus, but compared to other universities our campus could be better, the staff is nice and welcoming. Overall it is great but there is room for improvement.
the overall community and people there are lovely and welcoming, we have access to many resources that make it a very good place to study
Loads of investment in the areas like the library, no need to bring my own laptop as the computers are all high spec and fitted with all the applications needed. It could probably improve recreational facilities and invest in sports more.
I've always found it a good university and my experience has been positive
The facilities are really good and and the campuses are pretty accessible. They do unfortunately cost a fortune to park at both coach lane and city campus.
