It offers a variety of courses. It can be improved by supporting international students more in terms of practices.
Best- student support, lecturers/teaching staff, student engagement, things to do outside of studying, sport! Worst- none
It is a great place to study, lots of opportunities for careers and travel during your time at the university and afterwards. It can be hard for people with social anxiety at first as it’s such a big campus with lots of different people in and out, it can be overwhelming. Making the first term quieter would be an improvement for people like myself who find it daunting being around that many people at once.
The professors are really helpful and supportive. I don't have anything to text about worst experience till now.
Northumbria is very good at checking up on student well-being and the SU is very well ran. Some of the buildings are a bit run down but most of the facilities are fantastic.
I love it because I love newcastle and having a uni here that has the best options for my course makes it so much better

Perhaps the tuition fees are somewhat high
lots of new materials however, it’s complicated to know where everything is
Everything is fine though
Northumbria University has provided me with a new insight to life. I have been able to personally develop my skills and become more aware of myself. The uni has been able to promote and encourage new things into my lifestyle which has improved my living and communication status. The campus and student life has been amazing!! there are so many oppertunites in newcatsle. The only improvement would be the location of coach lane campus.
The staff are excellent and the facilities are amazing. The lectures are incredibly knowledgeable on their subject and can easily answer any questions around the topic. The course is great and extremely engaging. However the lack of support in getting my student card after I never received an email with a pick up time or location was my only poor experience. Overall the university is great, in the perfect location with staff that are eager to teach.
It’s been great in a way I have been able to bring my baby into my lessons however the university was terrible when I was pregnant, no support whatsoever
Great overall
Worst aspect - societies cost too much to join
Everything u need


Really good facilities, could have more tables in the cafe at the law building
Good course it’s interesting but one of the modules is dry and doesn’t introduce new content
