Fantastic university

(5)·By Charles L·Philosophy· Jun 2024
Small classes, excellent lecturers, and great value for money. Work experience opportunities are available, along with incredible student wellbeing and academic support. I feel very supported at NUL, everything I expected and more.

Best place for the motivated

(4.5)·By Andrea A·Law· Jun 2024
The course is designed for high achievers, so if you're looking to blend in with the crowd, this is not the place for you. Similarly, with extracurricular activities, they offer numerous opportunities to become a student leader and pursue your interests. However, you cannot simply settle for a minor role; you must be motivated as the University does not provide financial support or a large student body to assist you. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and believe that nowhere else could have prepared me as effectively for an exceptional future.

Northeastern London review

(4.5)·By Kacey m·Law· Jun 2023
Excellent lectures that are enticing and absorbable. Great facilities for studying in groups or alone, specifically the silent study area.
I really appreciate the tutorials where you can receive feedback on your essays or just a general chat about the course - it gives students a chance to check in with their lecturers on a 1-1 basis.
Overall i have loved my first year at Northeastern university London.

Highly recommend

(4.3)·By Euan W·Law· Jun 2023
NU London is the perfect size, it is small by design meaning you are a name, not a number. The class sizes are perfect for starting a debate or asking questions without fear of judgment.
The amount of opportunities that have been provided to me by the University is something I thought would never happen. Here at NU London, I believe I am fulfilling my potential for once in my life.
Amazing University, with an amazing work-life balance aided by the excellent support of lectures and career officers.

Would highly recommend it!!!

Great Teaching, Bad Admin

(4)·By Alistair B·Philosophy· Jun 2024
My impression of the university is that the teaching is fantastic. My professors are great and there are a lot of opportunities for 1-1 help, which is rare, especially at a place with such high caliber teaching. The admin at the university is quite bad though. Timetabling, student support, and registry are specifically quite slow, though I believe it is because they are small, overworked teams as opposed to incompetent people. They respond quite slowly and put out exam dates with very little time to prepare. I usually have great experiences with the finance and academic support teams, however. I also like the opportunities for interaction with staff through the student ambassador scheme, as it’s great for networking. The social is great as well, it’s a small uni and classes have a family vibe at this point.

Nice University!

(4)·By Rasika G·Economics· Jun 2023
Northeastern University London is unique compared to other universities in London. It has smaller class sizes which I prefer because it allows me to fully understand the content by being able to ask lecturers questions. Furthermore, the fact the university is small allows for socialising to be easier among students which has allowed me to make many different friends. The university campus itself is very modern and overall the atmosphere created is really nice. I really enjoy the space.

Good stuff

(3.8)·By rachel o·Philosophy· Jun 2024
I'm really enjoying my time at Northeastern. The material and teaching are excellent, the faculty is helpful, and the small class sizes and 1-to-1s mean my lecturers really know me. There are issues with some of the administrative organizational components, such as emails taking too long to be answered. I have no experience with Northeastern's housing options, as I have never been able to afford the halls.

Location

(3.5)·By maryam w·Law· Jun 2024
The area the university is in makes it easy to get necessities during the day, including healthy food and drinks. The view from the classrooms and study areas makes it an amazing place to study in. Maybe enforcing the silent study areas, like the one on the second floor, would make it easier for students who don’t like to be closed up in a room to study.

overall university performance

(3.3)·By sukhdeep s·Law· Jun 2024
The campus is modern, new, and has different features that make it attractive. The pods and smaller rooms inside the campus, especially the quiet area, are a good touch. However, it does get quite crowded with international students, and the campus isn’t enough to accommodate them. The timetabling is a bit of a mess, with deadlines being back to back, same with exams. The courses are good, with good teachers. As a student who commutes, the teachers are understanding when the trains are delayed.
