Sort:Latest reviewsI think my uni is great. I love living so close to campus because im in one of the accoms and the facilities here are amazing too. The on campus restaurant Habita is amazing, great food and vibe. The overall facilities in the uni are amazing too, especially the dedicated study areas for different departments
Northumbria is constantly finding ways to improve student and academic life. The research that is produced from this institution is outstanding and I am proud to study here and be part of a society.
As a Business and Marketing student, I am based in City Campus East, which has state of the art facilities across all 4 floors, with areas for both independent and collaborative study. Alongside this, the library is a fantastic place to study with excellent technology access and spacious work areas. However, some of the facilities are dated and could do with a refresh Support for students is brilliant. Whether it be for assignment feedback or placement search support, I have experienced first hand just how supportive the staff can be. Unfortunately the only involvement I have had with the students union has been visiting Habita, the SU bar (which is brilliant!) however if they offer the same level of support as the academics and graduate futures team, students would be spoilt at Northumbria!
Not many events and clear help with things such as housing help, placements and future employment
A big community feel especially within the sports course and sport clubs/societies. Very nice and modern facilities for my course that support our learning. However I do have less contact time in my course compared to others. However the lecturers give us a lot of support when it comes to assignments compared to what I’ve seen from other universities.
great uni
Lectures could be more engaging
Absolutely love this uni. I'm dyslexic and I've had a lot of help from student support services.

Very welcoming, and comfortable, excellent support, easy making friends and get along with my lectures, very nice and clean building.
I like the location of the uni and how the lecturers are really passionate about what they’re talking about it could be improved by further student support in harder modules especially in first year
The availability of facilities is excellent and the facilities are of top quality. Labs in particular have all the equipment needed for my course. The staff are very friendly and helpful also. The library could be improved by making more workspace available as it is usually very busy and sometimes hard to find space to work.
the uni environment and the facilities they have not just for the course but in general are amazing the layout is good and the location is amazing. The only thing that could be improved are the time tables and timings
I love the library facilities and sports society’s at Northumbria. However to improve, the support from module leaders could improve.
Northumbria University is a great place to study, with modern facilities and supportive lecturers. The courses are well structured and career-focused, helping students gain practical skills. The campus has a friendly atmosphere and good student support overall.
I enjoy studying at Northumbria because of the friendly environment, helpful staff, and excellent campus facilities. It provides a great overall student experience. There are plenty of resources available, and the diverse student community makes it easy to feel welcome.
Northumbria University has many different opportunities for students to grow. For instance, there are many computing related societies for students to explore the many fields and specialisations of Computer Science. Northumbria University also has support teams for students who would like to increase their employability. There are specific portals and information sites on how to write resumes and cover letters, not to mention that students can make appointments with trained professionals for mock interviews for a job.
Modern and great facilties. Student union i gave a one because im unsure what it is and does mainly. So maybe make that a bit more obvious. I personally love the northumbria bridge as it makes it very easy to travel across campus.
the lectures seem fun and approachable the only issue would be long days and late lectures
4.5
The opportunities to push yourself both socially and mentally are numerous and rewarding, and the life both outside and inside of the uni has so much to offer.
The load of work is manageable, making sure you’re never left too stressed about deadlines to have any fun outside of the course. You feel prepared for every exam that comes so long as you chose to engage with the course.
A great and secure location, and makes up for the relatively higher price point whilst still not being the most costly. Location simply cannot be beat, being the closest to the campus to at there is possible to get.
