Sort:Latest reviewsSometimes can be hard to travel into uni in the morning due to heavy traffic since I live at home and drive in. But that is no negative reflection on the uni! Very friendly atmosphere, helpful staff and lecturers, great facilities.

The University of Northumbria is the best when it comes to prioritising student studies such as providing excellent service in the laboratory. It is an amazing environment, they organise fun activities such as karaoke nights or ball night and the sports as well to help divert student's from their worries and have good social experience. The not too pleasing aspect will be that some sports are quite pricey
It's a great place for student life.
Northumbria university is arguably the best place to study for many reasons. It has an amazing range of activities for students to help them meet new friends and get involved with the uni top events. The quality of teaching especially for civil engineering is one of the best jn the country. The module tutors explain the subjects very clearly and in an easy to understand way. Nevertheless, just like with everything great there are always some minor flaws, in this case it would be the scheduling. There are many problems regarding this issue. The break between lectures and seminars are too long to be a short break and too short to be enough to do anything useful. Other than i am happy that I chose to study in this university, and proud to be a member of this institution.
Amazing university, people and tutors are amazing and very helpful
The staff are always very willing to help when I ask for extra support. There is also counselling via the university which I find very helpful. However, on coach lane the food and drinks are very expensive and there isn’t much around apart from the uni cafe
No designated vaping area is the worst aspect, best aspect is the cafe and modern feel to it.
best is the accommodation and student life worst is how late the timetable is released
Support could use improving also the student portal is difficult to use
Great university, with a lot of help for well being. However, don’t know if it’s a universal thing with all Unis, they don’t really explain how to do alot of the stuff. They just kind of tell you to write an essay, and then tell you it’s not good, a lot of expectation to already know how to handle it.
Northumbria feels very friendly and sociable. Everyone’s there to make friends and have a good time. It feels relaxed and like a nice environment to learn in. The staff are all so helpful and knowledgeable. There is always so much on you can never get bored. There is so many places where you can study either in groups or alone
a lot of different environments to suit any needs, very spacious with high level of quality technology.
I am grateful for all the help I have gotten from the university including the extra help for my dyslexia. There is always available parking spaces available and easy to access other parts of the university grounds.

First gen student
It’s a lovely place to study
Great student support and facilities, for academic and personal life
Really welcoming and helpful staff.
unreal uni
I've had my ups and downs with Northumbria in terms of support offered to students, but I also understand there is a level of independence to be expected as well. I just feel like clearer support or rather more capacity for handling issues due to maybe not having enough staff for handling said issues.

I am at coach lane campus therefore it takes a while longer to get there. Coach lane can be very expensive too , especially food in the cafe. However, the uni always ensure we have support we need if there are any issues and always keep us updated.
