Sort:Latest reviewsA good uni.. not great with the holidays as we dont seem to get as long as other unis and finish later than others. staff are good and offer lots of help when needed. The societies are the best thing going for the uni
I've loved the time I've spent here so far at the university. Not only have I learnt a lot, I fully enjoy the course content (Business/Management). I have also found great friends here that I will undoubtedly know for the rest of my life.
Great university and as a first year I found it hard to adjust to university life but after help from tutors and lecturers I have found out how everything works. University life is enjoyable and the University of Northampton is a great place to study. There is loads of support if you feel you need to improve in any area of study and if you feel you don’t understand anything you can find support in many different places from the library to online courses provided by the university for free. The only negatives are parking is very hard to find also the computers are old and slow and some do not have the programmes installed that are required for the course. This is fairly frustrating considering the university fees at all universities. Also I do not live in halls but there are not many good reviews about the halls. Although I find this university to be a great university with many perks you will need to visit it yourself to see if it is the university for you.
The university delivers very accurate and related lectures. The lecturers as well as the extenal classroom team ensures you have a thorough understanding. The locations of the campuses makes it convenient and easy for students to get to the university and back.
Absolutely terrible. I would not recommend this university to ANYONE. if you actually want to receive support and meet friendly tutors then do not choose this university. Waste of time and money. I a, in my third year and have felt nothing but disappointment throughout my years of my degree. Paper isn't even free, the tutors have a disgusting attitude and act as if they've been on the planet more than 100 years and are far better than anyone else. Please please DO NOT choose Northampton university. - Terrible support - Lack of communication from tutors - Tutors are rude. Very rude. They're attitude and opinions are disgusting no they take part when grading work and yes that is illegal and is not supposed to happen but it does. -Cost. Far too expensive. And most importantly if you're actually looking to go into work once you leave university in your desired subject choice then you should not choose this university. Again no support or guidance. I have absolutely no idea what I have paid for?
Perfect building, amazing study conditions, astonishing library! I definitely advise you to visit! You can study, preparing for lectures, do your assignments or just spend your free time - it's always the right place for every occasion.
The lecturers have amazing experience and knowledge from the industry. I got a lot of help in my course. I had a opportunity to try a variety of courses and choose the one I enjoy most.
I went here as an insurance choice, and I think the university is brilliant! I'm disappointed I didn't select it as my firm choice. Great university and I do not regret coming here.
It's a great place with friendly people and teachers! While studying photography I've met some great people that helped me a lot with getting a fantastic placement. I'm very glad that ive decided to come to university of northampton :)
The lecturers and the modules are very insightful and you reflectively get inspiration to work your hardest. As a commuter, I find it quite easy to park up and have a full day at uni, and with greggs so easily available, it becomes a more comfortable situation. It may vary depending on the course but I am quite pleased with mine so far, however it is very stressful and confusing at times. But that is what's expected from university, there is still readily available help if needed. Also there are a few inturnship and jobs along the way.
Brilliant range of courses and choice of modules, with lecturers specified in that field! Large lecture theatres and support with staff is always there if needed.
I really enjoy being in this University so far. We have a lot of opportunities to catch here. This university has a partnership with Ashoka to be a Change maker Campus which is extremely interesting.
I am a first year student at the University of Northampton studying Psychology and Counselling. I have found the university and extremely friendly one, it was easy to settle in and there was great support whilst I was starting out my university journey. There are 100s of of clubs you can join, whether it be a sport or a society you are interested in, completely free of charge!
The Universy of Northampton has improved a lot in the last 5 years, in order to be one of top 30 universities in the UK. We can understand the lecturers out any pressure as in many other universities. The class room are great, the campus and the city is OK. But there is a lot that must be done yet....
The university provides many opportunities to stretch and challenge yourself in you academic life. The staff are friendly and helpful and aid learning through their professional teaching styles.
I love it here at Northampton. The Popular Music course is amazing and the lecturers are so passionate about what they do. The students union is really good too. All societies and sports are free and you can get funding for pretty much anything by setting up your own society. Northampton is an incredibly underrated university and I would definitely recommend having a look around.
I absolutely love my course, and have made good friends from both within my course and through the societies I have joined, which have given me the opportunity to meet like minded people. The area is lovely and the people are very friendly and welcoming.
The course I am doing (Childhood and Youth Studies) is exciting and full of challenging aspects that have helped me develop as a young professional. The lectures are lovely and helpful. I have met a wide range of different people whom I wish to stay friends with after this journey. I am struggling at the minute being away from home and hope that this will pass as I do not want it to get in the way of my adventure here at Northampton.
I did a top-up year in Media Production following two good years at Northampton College studying a HND, and was gutted to discover how badly the course was run. The practical lecturers were incompetent and unorganized, with barely five actual lessons over the course of the entire academic year, and a strong bias became apparent in the marking of our work. The theoretical modules were much better, with structured lesson plans and knowledgable tutors; however this was a smaller percentage of the course (and not really what I'd gone there to study). The university itself seems like a sound institution, with excellent support provided by student services and new, well-maintained facilities. The library is excellent, and there's a safe environment on all of the campuses. Hopefully there's a wide variety in the quality of the courses however, because if they're all as bad as the Media Production BA then the excellent facilities are wasted.

It is the most lovely, most resourceful, and most caring place I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Everyone is so friendly, the course leaders/ lecturers do everything they can and more to ensure you have the best results. I am not looking forward to leaving, though my career prospects are only just beginning (with the help of their very own employability centre!)
