I have been in this Uni for over 2 years now, and safe to say this is the only Uni that seems to be very much involved, in terms of academic support, student well-being and student activities and events. Other major universities I have been in weren't as involved as Northumbria is. Enjoying my time here so far. read more

The wifi suffers from interference with some walls being too thick or some lecture halls too high or low and with no wifi boosters to assist. Some campus buildings need updating as some still look like they are around the time they were designed and built and stuck that way. read more

Great university especially for my course. We have access to a mock courtroom where we can compete in moots which have been very useful for my development and understanding of legal argument. There is also the student law office where we can contribute positively to real-life cases from the public. However, beyond academics, the Students Union also offers several opportunities especially during freshers week to socialise and enjoy oneself, such as hosting comedy nights, open mic nights and drag show nights. Furthermore, Northumbria offers events under 'Be Part Of It' such as discounted fitness classes, cinema and theatre viewings, baking and cooking workshops, outdoor experiences etc. which are a really great way to meet like-minded people and get a taste for new experiences. read more

My journey at Northumbria started the day I registered my interest to study there. Even though most of the information one needs can be found on the website, my enquiry emails were always responded to and quite on time. The entire application, admission, tuition and CAS journey were seamless. I’m finally on campus, the staff are very supportive and I look forward to a great academic year. read more

Modern facilities and consistently improving them. Quality of teaching is of an amazing standard, most lecturers are available at any time and help in any way they can. Lots of events throughout the year, special events for Christmas, St Patrick’s day etc. Very diverse university and makes everyone feel included and welcomed. Ask4Help service is quick and reliable, replies within a few hours and most of the time helpful. read more

Northumbria is a great place to study, facilities are great, the work areas can get very busy sometimes but that is expected. The only complaint I have is the PCs not always working, and the mouse being faulty. Other than that, the student union have plenty of activities to keep busy and the gym facilities are great, it's been great studying here. read more
