Quite a good university with a bit messed up Computer Science course

The facilities of the school of computing are great - very modern building, newest equipment, campus located in the city centre (most likely you don’t need to commute there by metro or a bus). One major thing however that is lacking is the organisation. Being a third-year student I still have the same feeling - the program is written very chaotically. In 2019 there was that revolution of the programme (to keep learning the newest technology) to which lectures and demonstrators still feel a bit unadapted. I hope this will get better in the next year or two years. However, after that time, the taught technology may change again (which is good) and it will take another couple of years for the lecturers to be fluent in what they teaching (which is not good).

My time at Northumbria

Overall, my time at Northumbria was ok. Not great just ok. My time was influenced by the COVID outbreak and so my final year was all online. Through my second and final year there was a lack of support from tutors. Not only that I had extenuating circumstances which were ignored when appealing my final grade.

A Future with more cheers!

Reading about the school, I was impressed by the attention they claim to give the students, their ranking amongst top universities and the business school facilitators plus the partnering bodies. I was also intrigued by the data lab and how their research are always towards the betterment of society and humanity. I was not shocked to resume school and see all these, first hand; I am proud to be part of NUBS story! The classrooms are standard and environmentally friendly, the campus is aesthetically beautiful and has a story to tell. The reception is almost like a friendly work station and I love how my desk replicates an office setting making me feel at home and not like a child resuming school. I resumed late and had my supervisors and students helping me catch up with a friendly team that I could reach out to without fear or remorse. It sure is a great place to school and work.

Student in 2013

I really enjoyed my time at LCB! I've found that my skills when I entered the work force were much higher than others. I think though there was a big portion missing in recipe development and composition. True- we did learn it through memorizing the recipes, but we really were missing classes on how different ingredients affect the final textures.. how you can change them... etc. That I still am not an expert in .. and I create recipes! Ouf! Also, I don't know if you still do a month of sugar work... but that really wasn't necessary and should be either cut or minimized to just 2 lessons. It's such a niche skill to know that I would have really preferred more technical skills. I loved the old location. The "rumors" I'm getting about the new location are that it's not as good, unfortunately - that i's become more of a money focused/marketing machine. I really hope that this image can be fixed as I love LCB and enjoyed my time there! Oh also - there should be more help for students to get jobs and featuring old students accomplishments - from cookbook launches to new bakeries so that current and old students can support them.
