Overall, I’m quite satisfied with the facilities and the campus at Northumbria University. Especially, because I’m a science student, the access and the variety equipments that we can use in the labs.I really like the fact that the campus is close to city centre and its close to get anywhere. The only thing that I could say is that available rooms for lectures are quite limited and the university library don’t have access to some articles and books that are significant for my area of study. read more

Northumbria Univeristy is definetly does not provide the best facilities in comparison to other Uni's, however it offers what it is needed with a stable wifi in most places across the campus, the lecture halls and classrooms can vary in comfot/layout/general ease-of-use. At Northumbria there is a variety of societies and clubs offered and you are introduced to them during the sport + socieities fair during freshers week of your first year. read more

The uni is good at what it does and I have few complaints. My two biggest issues would probably be the lack of space to wait at in between lessons. The uni has extensive areas for hangouts and studying, but due to the abundance of students these can fill up quickly. Another issue would probably be the timetable. I live away from the uni and have to get the train everyday so when I have a 4 hour gap in between lessons or when I have to come in for a single hourlong talk it can be frustrating. read more

I really enjoy the facilities provided by my university. The libraries, labs, and study spaces are well-equipped and easy to access. I also like the employability prospects, especially since there are opportunities to attend graduate jobs and placements fairs, webinars hosted by prospective employers, internships, and placement programmes. The social atmosphere at Northumbria is very inclusive, diverse, and friendly, and the university is located near the city centre where it is easy to explore and find things to do. The campus is also very welcoming and vibrant, and there are opportunities to start or to become a member of a society where you can meet like-minded people, and make new friends. There are also great student support services that are able to provide students with mental health and well-being support, as well as information on how to manage stress. There are many extracurricular activities available, such as clubs, sports, and societies, which can help students to unwind. read more
