Sort:Latest reviewsCampus in City Centre, always has a range of things to get involved in. Alot of support and career help, Northumbria led me to my placement experience thanks to career fair and talks offered. Facilities are great, from the 5 floor library with areas for all studying types, to the state of the art sport central. Overall, id say Northumbria is great!
State of the art technology helping us have an up to date education ready for the world of work. Could be improved in some more financial support for students
Our Uni has great facilities and a fantastic library.
The location and the 24hr library are by far the best aspects
18-24 years
First gen student
The timetable is scattered throughout the week but would prefer to do days closer together
its one of the top university in the UK, lecturers are always there to help you with any support you need. I am currently in coach lane campus which looks wise is not so great but the main campus is amazing looks wise and has much better facilities. i usually go to the main campus library which is really good but gets really busy.
Best- well-being support however not greatly advertised in first year when struggles are highest.
Great city with a great studenty feel, great campus with great facilities and supportive staff
I prefer older looking campuses but it does have a nice modern feel and modern facilities. They clearly listen to and cater to young people
The best part is how nice and helpful my fellow classmates are but the worst part is that the lecturers aren't always helpful
I chose this on the fact we get our own space and board. The location of the uni and proximity to home as well. Other student services in the union are pretty decent. Having to pay for essential kit ourselves, on-top of the 9 grand. A subsidised student shop or paper for us to use would be nice. The scanners and printers don't always work, just fix them quicker. Student services for Autism help and such has taken a couple of months for them to get back to me.
I love studying here because I get so much support from the staff and not just for the work we have to do.
Newcastle is a vibrant city with lots to offer making it a very exciting place to be a student. The uni itself is modern and has lots to offer
Easily accessible, great public transport nearby, nice campus, great staff
Absolutely no complaints about Northumbria university, the campus is fantastic, the university resources are superb. They offer great support for students by checking in on mental health every few weeks to help with any changes we need. Professors are great and full of knowledge, very approachable and help more than the normal university life expects you to have (self learning aspect). Campus is right in the heart of the City, easy to access from metro and bus routes from all over the county. Only issue I've had is the local bus strikes which affected me attending in person but as the uni uploads all work through a forum for the students I could still keep up to date with me work and attend where I could.
Over all very nice experience
overall great experience maybe a bit more student support
Friendly and welcoming environment
I love how modern the facilities are and how most things are in close proximity to one another. An improvement could be the coach lane campus being closer to the centre of the city and student accommodation.
4.5
Very close to the city centre, so easy to access everything. I don’t really think there’s anything that needs to be improved
Course hours are good, if you need to contact a lecturer they will help you
