Northumbria University
speciality: Sociology

I think my university has an excellent array of facilities and offers opportunities for all students. It promotes involvement in activities and social events through fairs, seminars and other events.

Northumbria University has been an enchanting university to study through its helpful staff, good facilities and interesting courses. There has been a lot of support when dealing with issues relating to student finance and other uncertainties, allowing for minimal stress.

The programme contained everything which was talked about at the open days, and more despite Covid-19. From examining items for traces of blood and fibres to visiting a mock crime scene, to giving a witness statement in court. I genuinely felt excited to complete my work. The staff are all extremely friendly and helpful and provide all students with useful information and guidance to produce high-quality assignments. The campus is a busy one, with what seems to be a different activity every day. There are a variety of cafes and bars on campus to suit every student’s craving, all with student-friendly prices. Personally, I love visiting Habita in between lectures and having lunch. The careers guidance has been amazing, and I have been able to access a 1-1 appointment whenever I felt I needed one. In addition to these appointments, there is a huge amount of detailed information online which is very helpful. I feel there is a wide range of career prospects open to me, not only due to my degree but also due to the invaluable work experience I have gained working as a student at Northumbria University. There are many different roles available for students and I have gained many highly sought after skills whilst flexibly working around the university and my other life commitments.
