Hi, I am an international student. The University and the staff are so friendly. The experience in the university is phenomenal. In just one word, it just wow!!!. In my perspective, improvement to be the University WIFI, because most of the students are using the university WIFI for the for call or to web search, so please improve. Thanks for the opportunity. Kind regards
its good

I find all the academic staff to be extremely kind and supportive, they understand what it is like to be a student nurse and are understanding of any issues that we may be experiencing. The quality of teaching is very good all the lessons I have are taught in groups of no more than 60 students which offers a very interactive and friendly teaching environment where I feel like I am able to interact in all my lessons. The facilities for learning clinical skills are good. The only thing I would improve about my university is the location as it is quite out of the way and can be difficult to park at certain times so although I drive I use public transport to get to university. However, this said there is a free bus from the centre of Newcastle that runs to the campus on Coach Lane and back very frequently so it is easy to travel to.

I like how they're there to help 24/7. tho they're there to help they don't usually have the solutions. but overall its a great university.
Best: Campus site, accessible buildings and area. psychology workshops also were informative, helpful, and fun. Worst: Emphasis on exams over coursework
The best is the location as is located in the city centre which means its close to everything and have easy access to the public transport as well as there are many attraction on campus that are open for all students.
Good facilities and equipment
wide services available for students which shows student that university is always be there to help students

The student union is awesome. Really cool activities organized, really good sense of community and overall they are always really helpful with whatever you need. The student life is amaizing as Northumbria ir right near the city centre and Newcastle has an amaizing selection of things to do. Campus is modern and filled with everything you might need at some point in uni.
The facilities are great, there are lots of open spaces to work and study, the library has ample supply of books and resources and only a short walk from the nearest metro station. I have not had much dealings with the student union so far, but from what I have already seen they seem to just focus on the party aspect of student life i.e. drinking, clubs, discos etc, and as a mature student this is something i am not interested in. Student life for me is not that great, as previously mentioned I am a mature student and not interested in the party life, rather I am here to study to improve myself and so far I have not seen much of a lifestyle surrounding that. Although I do work part-time around my studies and balancing the work/uni/life balance has been successful, I do not find the coursework or assignments too strenuous and I am able to keep on top of things thanks to the teaching styles, resources and of-course my own self discipline.
Best- location the best as it has city and campus. Worst- societies are not as varied as other unis
The best parts are the location of the university being in the city centre and the facilities of the university such as the library. The students union is also fantastic. The student halls are also in great locations. The lecturers are all wonderful and very helpful and experts in their field.
The university campus has a fresh and modern feel to it, with the modern architecture of the blocks as well, mixed with few more older style buildings, really makes northumbria stand out. There is a lot of greenery throughout the campuses, that really add additional life to the already lively atmosphere of northumbria. However there are also many spots where students can be in quieter environments, including the multiple university libraries as well as cafes. The main city campus library building is the only part of northumbria that does not seem to fit the modern aesthetic of the campus and does seem to increasingly be in need of a renewal.
+ Lots of experienced staff with lots of knowledge + up to date facilities and working environments allowing for application of knowledge - can feel thrown in at the deep end with work, rarely are explanations given, work is just sent out or uploaded to a folder
The best has to be to facilities and the support that is offered to students. The lectures are always wanting nothing but the best for you and teach to a high standard. The counselling service available is so good and knowing that that is there is a good thing. The worst aspect probably has the be the lack of facilities at coachlane campus. For students studying there we always need to go to city for things like counselling, careers and academic student skills sessions we need to go to city which is fine if you are in accommodation there but for us that aren’t it’s out of our way

The student union are so good with putting on events and little things like pop up stores, for improvements the decor isn’t all that and hard to find space on campus to sit and work and be able to talk which you can’t do on floors in the library as everyone suggests to go there
Good location, with ideal surroundings including cafes, restaurants, shops etc Lots of great facilities on campus such as the library
Easy lifestyle, good campus in great location with lots of easy access. Most importantly other students are very nice
4.5
It’s a welcoming space, always plenty of places to choose to study in.
A fee too many 9am lectures or practicals, makes it difficult to attend all the time Could do a few more online or mid day to help out with this
Good sized rooms and welcoming staff, however lifts are very temperamental and just a bit too far out of town and from uni
