Professors are hardworking working Societies are amazing Freebies Library facilities ask 4 help very accessible Making uni life fun easy and eventful
i really love the uni, the teaching is very good and they’re always willing to help out if you didn’t understand soon thing in the lecture, library has so many resources and the campus is say is very nice, tho sometimes certain places can be quite busy but that’s to be expected.
The best parts are how welcoming everyone is and how the transition from A-levels to university is made to be as easy as possible.
It’s got good facilities and extra curricular activities. Located near the city, but also has nice parks you can go to take a break from the city and appreciate nature. Good focus on experiential learning and good trip opportunities. Feel supported with 24/7 Askforhelp. Could be improved by having better holiday times as finished quite late for Christmas compared to other unis.
I believe there could be more advertisement on the student union events. Also I think more events should be help at the student union. I believe the facilities are amazing, especially the lab rooms. I study a technology module and the tech equipment has been very helpful!
I think Northumbria University is a great place to learn and grow your knowledge, but it would be nice to have more one-to-ones with personal tutors for catch ups and check ins
The facilities and resources both on campus and online are definitely worth it, particularly all of the technology/equipment you can access and the library. Teaching staff are helpful and experts in their respective areas, overall making the academic aspects of the university top notch.
I think that Coach Lane Campus needs much more work done in regards to having enough places for students to sit at lunchtimes when it gets so busy that some are eating outside in the winter cold. Some of the rooms there are also a bit outdated and freezing as the heating system isn't the best. City Campus is very modern and I believe it to be much better in comparison, perhaps due to the ratio of spending on each campus being unequal?
Northumbria is a very welcoming university making anyone feel comfortable and easy to adapt to. The location of the university is great and the ways that it provides transport links ( such as buses) for free to campuses makes it easy to travel from and to campuses.
The best experience from this university is the access to the resources in the library. I have a lot of books and quotes that I need for my course and Northumbria University makes it easy for me to find which saves my time looking for them and allows me to get on with my assignments
The support for students at the university is amazing. However I feel like the student union could be improved they have great facilities but not much community spirit and the prices are high
None
The best part have been the opportunities they provide for academics and along with, the be part of it program. The study rooms are very calming and the lecturers have been so understanding. I think it could be improved if they had more performance rooms for the societies that need it . Other than that, I love it here.
