Sort:Latest reviewsQuality university. Helps a lot being in Newcastle as the social life is top notch. Lecturers are general good, slightly hit and miss. Overall the combination of the city and university is cracking.
nightlife and the 24/7 library facilities are the two strong points that studying at northumbria gives you. the sports facilities and clubs and societies are also another good thing. However, I would say that the study facilities in some buildings could be improved.
Good experience but I doubt I'll gain any employment out of it. Love Newcastle.
Advice- get uncedued! Pick something you enjoy and don't leave everything until the last minute. I am thoroughly enjoying my university experience and would surely recommend it to anyone. The only flaw is the little time you get for yourself if you want to be an asset. Even so, you can get great memories from here
Uni is enjoyful,the lectures can be had at times and the lectures could be better, but the subjects are great and relevant to what is useful at the moment so go for Northumbria University
The experience at university is great overall.Great facilities, good lecturers and teaching amaterial to aid our students. Life in the city of NewCastle and in the Northumbria University is awesome!
For the students who are planning to enter Northumbria my message is simple. This is a great place to do your studies while enjoying your spare time!!! Don't hesitate to choose Northumbria University as your first choise
go to the social side of uni-it is the most interesting part of uni life as you get to know a lot of people. The uni facilities are good and the courses are interesting-reliable tutors.
Sleepy classes; watch a lot of vine videos; silly 9 o'clock lectures; the great hayden jenlairis; great clubbing experience; can smoke anywhere in campus;hot girls; and for those who don't care about this I'm sure you will find your own way to survive here.
Uni life is great but there is a lot of work to do. A lot of study and little spare time here. But even so, if you get to have good friends by your side everything will be easier to cope with and you will enjoy everything about uni. The tutors are amazing and very helpful and the environment is friendly
Overall the uni is pretty decent. The most important advice I would give is to not spend all of your student finance on booze as you'll need cheap noodles to survive!
It's been a great experience at the university where we meet people all over the world and get to know each other. The lecturers are really helpful in all areas such as in advicing in academic purposes.
Newcastle is the best city in the world and night life is amazing and fun! There are a lot of nationalities here so you would feel most welcome!
If you do plan to come to Northumbria, you would want to come prepared for several nights out with a lot of drinking, and you would have a lot of fun in the process. The number of students in the city is quite high, and almost every shop will have a student disount. This makes shopping great in the city.
Experience has been good here. For students coming to the uni, do what you love and enjoy every single moment as these years are never coming back to you again. Don't miss classes and don't fail the exams. A lot of pressure will be put on you
Hate morning lectures. Night city and people are great. Great place to have fun and study. Nice lab and learning facilities for mechanical engineering students. Make sure you study your course modules before taking part of it. You will be surprised of how many unecessary modules you will study at uni.
In terms of English, the course reps do not organise night outs for the course while the grey societys do. Perhaps more opportunities for organised nights out and cach individual accommodation. Don't study too much and have fun!
It is a good univerisity ith good facilities and opportunities. The students are friendly and helpful. Would advice people to come to this university but make sure you choose the right course and not complain of finding more information about your course before
I would recommend joining as many societies as possible as it would help making new friends. I have good relations with everyone and it always makes the lectures more interesting. A lot of time is spent working in the computer spaces and in the library. Also, I would suggest that students should always look forward to living in University halls of residence.
