The thing that makes Northumbria a great university is the amount of support that it provides to international students who are looking for success. Applying a strict policy against the use of cigarettes and e-cigarettes would be my tip to improve the campus.
The facilities in place (specifically the up-to-date technology in the labs) are incredibly impressive and make me feel as though the quality of my education and practical sessions are to the highest degree. Accessibility could be improved with the encouragement of using subtitles in any media shown to students (this is more aimed at media used in lecture halls) as well as ensuring the recordings of lectures are uploaded consistently. There has been little introduction to panopto and how to use it for students by staff and so many are unaware that it’s an option for more accessible learning.
It has been good but the clubs all meeting during my classes or after dark has been tough
Everyone is friendly and supportive. My course has allowed me to get to know other students through varied group projects. The staff are supportive through providing regular feedback on work and self progress. While i have been on placement. The uni have ensured guidance and a tutor to check in.
I only rated lower on the campus look because I like university building that make it look like it was built during the industrial revolution by a rich lord to add to his collection of property.. it would look good to someone who likes modern builds
Online course is fantastic as it makes it easy to attend uni whilst living in a different city and having a full time job
+ friendly atmosphere + lecturers that put in time and effort and care about students + lots of fun events and societies to join
Amazing campus, lovely lecturers. Student support could be improved
The facilities are good and it is a good place to study overall.
An excellent location for studying simply because you get the best parts of city life while also being close to everything you need. Everyone i’ve met here is wonderful. The degree programme i’m on is amazing and has wonderful tutors and the psychology staff really want us to thrive by offering workshops which allow us to use lots of cool technology! The worst aspects have to be the need to sort your own finances and adult things like that. However the support to deal with these at northumbria are excellent. i never worry too much as i’m constantly receiving emails offering help with such matters.
The university is very supportive and wants the best for each and every student
it is a great place to study, they should look into having the student law office/ law library open later on an evening
Support at the university is amazing for all students from all course of life. The facility’s are impeccable and amazing to help you study and complete your degree to the best of your abilities.
The university has high quality facilities and is situated conveniently in the city centre, however lecturer support (particularly availability) could be improved
Not many events or chances to beet other mature students. A lot of events for the 18/19 year olds, but none aimed for matures. Assumption is always that students are in accommodation and not working. More support for working mature students would be great. Good mental health support services, friendly staff, lecturers and tutors.
actually great, the SU could do with an update or some extra facilities
4.5
Best would be the staff support particularly after assessments. Worst would be maybe student support with referencing as this seems to be a common problem.
I have particularly struggled with finding placement although this is due to the nature of the course. However receiving help for it has been difficult on my side.
Great location and 24/7 security.
