Love Uni!

(5)·By Amelie L·Psychology· Jun 2023
First year accomodation was decently priced, good options around the whole city with security and services. Maintence request were sorted easy. The social side of this uni is very easy to manage along side the course and modules. Would not change my decision to come to this uni for anything!!

Law, Year 2

(5)·By Amy M·Law· Oct 2018
Constant fun and good quality teaching, its a great law degree because it provides legal textbook knowledge but mixes it with practical hands-on approaches that not many universities do nowadays. Great student support and great nightlife in Newcastle

Engineering, Year 2

(5)·By ben k·Engineering· Jul 2021
The first year was a week-long party but covid prevented this year. However, virtual events still went ahead with plenty of info 5 stars. Not a problem with my experience or any of my friend's. Well managed and looked after. Sports facilities are brand new and high tech, making it easier to workout and join clubs. The SU is a good night out and the technologies used in labs are up to date The lecturers are very informative and clear. The course allowed us to explore things we had'nt have been able to without the uni I love Newcastle. Everything is 20 minute walk or less, there are plenty of places to eat, see, watch, party, explore and do

Physiotherapy / Occupational, Graduate

(5)·By Claire M·Physiotherapy· Jul 2021
Amazing! Great city for meeting new friends, so many accommodations to chose from etc! So many events were I made friends and still friends with them ❤️ Top class! So many to choose from both uni accommodations and private accommodations! I stayed in private but uni accommodation was just as good and great for making friends! Really good facilities! City library is so central to all accommodations so perfect for them late nights! Coach lane was handy for health care students on campus! Student union was great craic, and another great social place to meet more new people! The course was brilliant and has made me a competent occupational therapist! Great support over the 3 years and great placement opportunities! Great city for going out, drinking, eating out & shopping! Couldn't have faulted it! Would love to still be living there!

Fantastic vibe for people who may be awkward!

(5)·By Emily M·Law· Jun 2023
Last september I started my first year of Law. Northumbria made this experience as easy as possible to ease into and hear is a few reasons why. #1 there is so many social events and overall the people are very chatty and you make friends fast! #2 their mental health support team, I suffered from anxiety all thtoughout my teenage years so moving to somewhere completely away from home triggered this. Northumbria staff made uni more accessible for me by working with me through my anxiety, i was able to watch recorded lectures and work my timetable to my life. #3 the nightlife in newcastle ? Amazing for students. My accomodation is separate from my uni however was very clean and so affordable I was even able to afford a studio !

Nursing, Year 1

(5)·By Emily W·Nursing· Oct 2018
So far my uni experience has been incredible. The support we all receive in our lectures and seminars is incredible. Our tutors have been on hand when we need them to be both in academic and personal matters. They are fun and upbeat and make sure that we are understanding the curriculum.

The accommodation i am currently in is amazing. If anything goes wrong we have 24 hour security. They are extremely friendly staff. I can't speak more highly of this team.

Northumbria University

I have had an amazing experience of university with Northumbria so far. There are so many societys you can get involved with for fun or to help with your degree. The staff have also been amazing in helping with any queries I had with starting my new course. I have really enjoyed my time here and met many amazing people. I look forward to continuing my journey. I would definitely advise to get involved with societies when you join as they can be really helpful with your degree but also you make loads of new friends and get offered lots of extracurricular activities.

Sports / Sports Science, Year 3

(5)·By Gemma S·Sports· Jul 2021
Uni provided many events to give info on the uni and your course and to make starting easier and less daunting. Loads of nightlife events and Newcastle is the best city for nights out So many to choose from and all the flats are clean and gorgeous. Most are in good locations for travelling into uni and are decently priced Amazing library really big and always spaces. Sports centre is amazing good gym, high tech labs, track and equipment, loads of classrooms with relevant facilities and good social area AmaZing lecturers so friendly and have good banter with students but also provide so much help where needed and quickly, hugely experienced and knowledgable. Course is varied and well suited and fun-practicals especially Campus right in the city so 5 mins to get to shops, Restaurants, cafes etc. The best city in the UK so many facilities and amazing places to go and makes you feel part of a community
