As a commuter is poor for students that come since all parking on campus is for staff basically meaning I have to pay loads in fuel and parking. As a student who hasn’t got much money.
Lecturers are very professional and supportive. They really want to find students' potential and help them achieve the best. I like the fact that the University prepares students for future career and modules studies are very useful and allowing to develop essential skills. I like it that University of Northampton has many departments who deeply support students in many matter eg. career support, CV writing, financial advise and support, mental health etc. Students can get involved in many activities too, eg. joining societies.
It’s alright, just the management is not great. My course is currently in a teach out phase but they’ve given us and the tutors no information about it. The sports facilities are okay at best, and not ran very well by the SU. The lecturers are good and the course is okay. The facilities are good but the food Is fairly expensive for what you actually get. The student life is not good and the student support isn’t good either. The location of campus is good as it’s just off the m1 and easy to get too. Another issue is parking, the uni won’t even let you park on or near campus as a student. Even if you could pay for parking they still won’t let you on, you have to have a £300 permit to park on campus for the year which is ridiculous as some people are only in one day a week. There are three nearby car parks, two of which are always full and one costs £11 for 2 hours which is ridiculous. They are also 19 million in debt and trying to make cutbacks which are affecting us as students, like teaching out courses, redundancies and charging ridiculous amounts to park anywhere near campus.
Great support from teachers.
Great support and supportive environment.
One area that can be improved for me is the teaching style of the professors, half of the time they read off of the powerpoint slides and do not explain in little detail what it all means, a little bit of help from them would be great.
The theatre is very small for our shows and we can’t get all our families there to watch it. Northampton itself is not the cleanest and the facilities at the innovation centre aren’t good, for example dents and cracks in the walls and the studios are never cleaned by cleaners and the floors are always dirty and dusty. And we are far away from the main campus.
A good all round university with good facilities and all around support for every aspect.
Worst part is there's not enough plug sockets to charge laptops in class. The best part is that it's a welcoming and modern campus.
It has good student support & assistance.
Teaching assistance is top notch.

I haven't found anything wrong or any flaws in the this university operates. The way my tutors explain and support is fabulous, and I am happy to be here for my future studies as well.


The facilities are quite good.
The faculties are friendly
The flatmates were horrible and the location was in the middle of nowhere.
