I come from Germany so it took me a while to adapt but the city is good and the Geordies are very friendly. The university is good and a beautiful place to study.
Would 10/10 recommend, great nightlife, city life, friends, course, lectures and accommodation, hasn’t let me down at all in the slightest. Thank you Northumbria!
Very good. Made amazing friends and a very sociable city, and being from a far place from Newcastle it’s nice to feel so welcomed. Good course and university. Amazing nightlife!x
It’s been reallly good!! I have enjoyed the course, made a lot of new friends and love the city! The uni is helpful when it comes to things I need help with and I like the course layout
Overall I am loving university at Northumbria, in a vibrant city surrounded by beneficial resources and professors. As someone who commutes to university, I find that I have still established a place on my course and amongst students. The SU bar is perfect to get cheap food and drinks to be sociable. Would definitely recommend Northumbria as a university and would emphasise that people don't be alarmed at the thought of travelling everyday to uni.
Decent. I went on an exchange programme to atl last year which was the best year of my life. I couldn't have done that without Northumbria. My lecturers are wicked and I love my course
Great place and an interesting course!
Good variety of modules and really interesting. There's cheap food and drink available on the campus SU centre which is really nice. The city is great and nightlife is wicked! Would totally recommend it
Great course and lecturers, great facilities too just wish I had more time to use them
Made some fantastic friends and I value how much passion staff have for their subject. The best thing about the course is the seminars and workshops working with tutors. Coming to the fun part - there's always something in the form of events that you can attend.
Great course with a good range of modules, good library and lots of other good facilities on the campus. Everything is so wonderful and a highly recommended course and uni

Lots of work but then all well, lecturers make the course engaging and interesting. The uni has a great extensive library and lots of great societies and initiatives to help students make the most of their uni life
The course labs are really good other than that everything else here is just average. Not what I expected it to be
Love it! Forensics is interesting and I am enjoying the course. Facilities are all good but we need more space during assessment periods
A very interesting course and amazing lecturers, very helpful and supportive
Its been an average experience for me, the only thing that kept me happy here was the course and lecturers who are friendly and always willing to help
