Studying Mass Communications in my final year at Northumbria University was an enriching and fulfilling experience. The program provided a comprehensive understanding of the theory and practice of Mass Media, giving me more new skills and knowledge necessary for a career in the field. The engaging coursework, experienced faculty, and opportunities for hands-on learning with real-life case studies were invaluable in preparing me for the professional world. Additionally, the supportive academic environment and vibrant campus community made my final year memorable and enjoyable. Moreover, the career help was definitely a plus-point among all, I am able to get to new places quicker and get job quicker (whether it's part-time, internships, or full time) due to the sources and counseling help they provided. Overall, I am grateful for the education I received at Northumbria University and confident that the knowledge has been crafted for students future endeavors in Mass Communications.

Everything is ok, except the research methodology team for master level. The module for (Dissertation/ Consultancy / Management Inquiry), is poorly organized and it doesnt provide proper guidance for master students choose the best at Business School.

Thank you for your review. It is great you have enjoyed your experience at Northumbria University!
I really like being at this university!
Hi thank you for your review. It is great you are enjoying your time at Northumbria University!
Graphic Design studios, Mac Labs, Photography studios and making spaces are all top of the range, fully kitted out spaces for being creative. The library is also by far the best I have ever used. Staff are always on hand to help and encourage you to make the most of all of the facilities available. Would highly recommend Northumbria to anyone studying a creative subject.
Hi, thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you are enjoying all the design facilities we have to offer!
Very good university glad I came here durham h h h h h h. H h h h h. H h h h
Being on the Automotive Engineering course, I have limited experience with most facilities. Those related to engineering however, I can say are great! Workshop available through the week to do whatever you want (drills, belt sanders, etc), 3D printing lab, workspaces with many PCs with more than enough software to tinker with, and labs with more specialist equipment for sections such as fluid dynamics, material engineering, etc. Although I’ve only had the opportunity to use it once, the wind tunnel on campus is a pretty cool feature! I’ve only given the societies/clubs section 4 stars because I’m in a society (go-karting society) and have only done 1 race in nearly 3 years, which is a shame. It may be due to a lack of funding, but there’s been (as far as I’m aware) zero communication on the matter. I think there are a good amount of societies but it’s been a while since I checked. The students union is only rated 4 stars because I don’t have much experience with it, unfortunately.
Hi, thank you for your review. It is great that you are enjoying and utilising all the facilities engineering has on offer! Did you know we have over 100 societies at the Student's Union? Which means there is somthing for everyone! Check out our website to explore all we have to offer - www.mynsu.co.uk

I have enjoyed my time at Northumbria University in the main. Being involved on campus in societies, making use of the library and computer areas for work, and having some lecturers who were really influential in my 2nd year was great. My last year hasn't been as great due to covid restrictions and a feeling of being disconnected from uni life.
