Mathematics BSc (Hons)

I am really enjoying uni but not many societies to join other than sport ones. My advice would be to have courage, be adventurous and enjoy everything you have as time goes by quickly when you are at uni. Be yourself and not change for anything in the world,otherwise this will cause you problems with your social life.

Northumbria University is the best uni, for sports and Sciences. Overall the people are friendly and welcoming and staff help to facilitate any problem. The students union is there to socialize any being in the city. A lot of shops/activities to keep yourself busy with.

The university has excellent facilities and it is in a great city(NewCastle). The course is ok but some lecturers and seminars are structured poorly. Everything else seems ok and the job prospects are quiet good in this big city

the university is great, but really think deep what course you want to do. It's important otherwise the experience isn't that good. I did a great choise and now I am happy sharing this with you. English Literature is the best course if you want to become a teacher.

Really good city to live in, courses are interesting, tutors are helpful. However, clubs and societies aren't very well advertised/ not much variety in what is on offer. Regardless the little flaws, I'm sure you will never live something like here in Uni. Have fun and study hard

I'm enjoying my experience at Northumbria University, however the course isn't as PR related as I thought it was going to be. That's why my advice is to choose what you really want to learn carefully. Be prepared for the worst so you can get more satisfaction if it goes out well.
