Northumbria University (reviews)

TO BE HONEST, THE UNIVERSITY IS TOP TO ME. FROM THE STAFF TO THE STUDENT. THEY ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND THEY REALLY CARE FOR EVERY STUDENT’S WELFARE. THE TEACHING IS 100% AS THE LECTURERS MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS ON THE SAME PAGE

I graduate in MSc Engineering Management from Northumbria University in 2019. I studied there for 2 years and every day I felt there was something new to learn or participate in the University. It is located in the city centre which is very advantageous as you are close to many shops, restaurants, cafes and whatnot.
Coming to the faculty – They are well trained, professional and diverse based on their backgrounds.
University facilities and the Student’s Union – University library is open 24hrs except on holidays and other important days. Staff are very friendly and they help you in career-related services by organising weekly sessions and open days. The student union was one of the best highlights of my uni life. They always organise events which are multi-cultural and have the best bar with affordable prices on drinks and food.
The student’s union is always at the forefront in solving the issue of the students and make sure everyone is receiving all the facilities required from the university.

I was working as Meet and Greet office for the International office of the University and now you can easily know why I said it is very international and diverse.

Accommodation- Northumbria has on-campus accommodation and some outside the campus areas. The accommodation prices vary and that gives you an option to choose within your price range.

Although it is not a Russell Group or a well known prestigious University, Northumbria University exceeded my expectations in actively encouraging every student to make the most out of their time at University, to graduate with more than just a degree. Northumbria University strives to ensure that every student regardless of background receives equal opportunities to support their learning and enhance their employability skills. Most notably their Business Clinic allowed me to develop a multitude of skills and apply what I had learnt in a practical setting. During this time I worked directly with a local SME as a consultant as part of my final year project. This alongside Northumbria’s drive to encourage placement years or to study abroad offers students a competitive advantage. As such, I would highly recommend this University.

The course is what I expected and even more! I improved my skills and found new that I didn’t even realised I had! Very helping staff, great studio and atmosphere! Kind people in the city, great projects, new friends! Totally recommending it!!!

Studying for a master’s degree in Digital Marketing at Northumbria turned out to be much more intense than I expected. However, I find most modules really interesting and up to date with the latest developments in the field. The program is designed in a more practical way which was the reason I chose Northumbria. The tutors are very understanding, supportive and are always there to help. One thing that needs improvement is the timetable, as sometimes there are big gaps which are problematic for students who live far from campus.

I went to Northumbria Business School as an exchange student. The courses were very interesting and they provided extra english classes to the foreign students which have helped us to improve our academic writing. The evaluation method is based on the class participation as well as on the assignment delivered at the end of the course.

I was at Northumbria during my exchange program and I loved everything about it! The staff was great and really helpful, the campus was big, clean and modern, the services offered (gym, pool, sports teams) were great, the location of the campus right in the center of Newcastle is also ideal and the overall environment of the university is what makes it such a good school. It is really easy to find accommodation and there are alternatives for every budget. The business school is demanding, but it prepares you for the future. I highly recommend!

Most friendly staff and university, especially if you are a lawyer! Great facilities, even greater gym, and a top class student union. Plus it is centered near the center of newcastle and it is close to all provate accomodations. Making student life satisfactory. 10/10

You never forget your university years and Northumbria University makes those years even more memorable. I attended the science and arts school during my undergrad and I then joined the Northumbria law school for my post grad.

Their facilities have been improving consistently. They developed a brand new law and business school which expanded the grounds of the university. They have their own law library as well as mock law courts to really make you experience the reality of becoming a lawyer.

I received exceptional support from all teaching staff at Northumbria. They have an open door policy and I can’t complain about any of my tutors. They were always available to help and each lecture was delivered with great organisation.

I fully enjoyed my time at Northumbria university, it’s a modern school with many facilities that help students excel in their studies.

Highly recommend it.

Studied Web Design & Development from 2014-2017. My overall opinion is that Northumbria is a fantastic University. I massively enjoyed the 3 years I spent in Newcastle, I couldn’t recommend it more. I felt completely comfortable applying the skills I learnt at University into work after my Uni years.
