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.

Great uni but lacking in certain areas
It’s a decent uni. I’m on a science course and the staff are a mixed bag. Some excellent, most good and some terrible
Haven’t been to the university but looks good
Really friendly staff and a nice location.
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.
Great facilities. I love the gym as it's absolutely massive and the teaching is at a pretty good standard
Very good University, seems to be anyway as I have not had one lesson inside.
Great place to study and socialise
Assessments are quite clear and easy to understand, tutors are helpful
Without a doubt, the greatest place to stay in Newcastle as a student. All of the staff are really pleasant and go out of their way to make you feel at ease. The facilities are fantastic, and you'll have everything you need to excel at university. I would really suggest it.
Good university with good accomadations around it and great distance from town
This is an amazing university with lot of career options. Staff are really friendly and caring which makes you prepared for any sort of issues with all modules.
Everything about this university is good.
good supportive uni, helpful staff and good facilities within both camps'
It’s a great place to study, they provide plenty of assets for you to use no matter which field of study you’re in
Northumbria University has excellent space for socialising as well as friendly and approachable staff and students. From the first year I joined (2015) I loved Northumbria and have ended up pursuing a PhD at the university. The facilities in the engineering and environment faculty are also excellent.
The University is able to provide support to its students and kept everyone in loop for any updates.
Great university with good facilities and good experience
Good i dont believe it good i don't believe it
I didn't go to college much due to COVID so i can't say much about the campus.
Very kind and accommodating staff
Northumbria uni is great and in a great location
Nice atmosphere, great facilities and approachable lecturers
Fabulous library services and ask4help service for any help needed.
I have placed this review under Northumbria University as it is the school that SGU has a partnership with for pre clinical years in the UK. SGU is an international school that offers students the opportunity to study in different areas of the world. Preclinical or clinical years could be done in the UK, Grenada, India, and the US. There are many electives that can be done around the world -Prague, India and certain countries in Africa to name a few. All in all SGUs goal is to expose students to different cultural experiences so that student can be prepared for the workplace. (Not because they have encountered every culture but, because they understand the beauty in other cultures.)
So far as of now online classes were conducted effectively whilst student help services were readily available a few clicks away 24/7. Looking forward to the total reopening of campus facilities.
Great uni, feels like a proper community!!
I can’t really say much, I didn’t use much of the facilities due to covid and things, but it’s a well kept place.
the facilities that i have used, which has been limited, are very good
I’ve only been on campus for one semester between Sept-Dec 2019 because then everything closed when COVID-19 hit, the internet can be a bit slow, especially when everybody’s trying to get on it in the lesson/workshop. But it’s spacious and pretty and very modern compared to other campuses.
Enjoying my course! Difficult to communicate with tutors online but they are helpful
Northumbria University great place to do your degrees its big and lovely.
really good uni, very sociable
It is a a good uni that provided the course I wanted
Poor quality of teaching especially over lockdown as everything has been moved online. They have very little respect for the student voice and the year reps. Communication is very poor, I'm in my second year and still haven't been given a proper tutor. Complaints and issues are very slow to be dealt with. Online learning was slow to develop structure and many are really behind in work and understand very little. I study Mech Eng and compared to my friends at Newcastle I really don't know anything about Engineering. I've never been able to use the workshops. A lot of the course so far has been self-taught due to poor lecturers. Lots of theory, hardly any practical. Very little funding and equipment is outdated. I really wouldn't recommend this university.
The university is extremely unorganized and my program is a joke. There are certain things that aren’t affected by COVID, but the university has been using it as an excuse. A lot of the Uni spending goes into advertising and marketing itself as being student friendly and being the top new university, but it’s all a lie. Seriously, go elsewhere.
If you are someone with working experiences and intend to pursue for a business postgraduate study , please consider any other university than Northumbria University. If not, please get ready for the disappointing and annoying moments with their work processes, and irresponsibility!
Had the perfect experience here, great facilities for studying and staff are very helpful
Very happy and satisfied with my uni. Unfortunately couldn't do or attend the campus so far this year....
Very kind, helpful and friendly staff that will help with any problem you have. Good facilities at the uni for study and working in uni
Perfect truly helpful university and staff are very friendly
I have been living here for few years since I was a undergraduate student. To be honestly, I do love The Foundry and Newcastle city, as I have spent plenty of precious time during these years. The foundry is a lovely family, usually they will offer us many opportunities to explore our world, such as "welcome party", "New Years celebration" etc, I have to say they are hugely helpful to release our stress, especially after tired studying life. Most important things is The Foundry always keeps our living environment as a high standard and first priority, regularly checking the fire alarm, weekly cleaning... Anyway, I must say it is really enjoyable and grateful for living here as part of our big family, appreciating all the stuffs's efforts (Zoey and Sean). highly recommended and have a nice experience, all the best~
Good university with a lot of courses to study from but it would improve students’ experience if there were more societies.
As an international student, Northumbria Uni was honestly very welcoming. The staff were always dedicated in assisting anyone who faced any type of difficulties. The facilities available at campus is amazing as well. Best choice I made.
Haven’t really had much of an experience due to COVID but staff have been nice enough
It’s a great university and worth studying for
Good Infrastructure and ambience
Great Uni and the law school is impeccable, the staff are so relatable and helpful!

Mint the best accommodation for student life
Internet very fast and the facilities are amazing such as the gym
Best uni going, though rough at the moment following recent events
Haven’t been able to go into uni, online teaching has been terrible, students union has done nothing for us
Had no problems so far, clean, safe and easy experience
haven’t had a chance to use any of the facilities due to covid but have heard good things from past students
Brilliant uni. Have dealt with COVID perfectly
I have just started and the uni have been really helpful in supporting us during online lectures
I feel part of the Northumbria family
Such a good location and the business school is a lovely campus
Campus has everything I need, got a good atmosphere. Never had a problem with internet and I love my sports club.
Modern law and business school facilities
Haven’t been in to the uni itself yet so it’s hard to review but online lectures have been very helpful and the lecturers all seem professional.
No bad words to say about Northumbria, I would have preferred to see more of it this year but will COVID that is not possible.
First year doing cyber security and the modules have been really fun and rewarding. I feel like I'm making a lot of important progress and I can't wait for second year
They offer excellent facilities especially for my design course.
Amazing university with plenty to do, very sociable
Campus is nice and new. There is quite a lot of social life so atmosphere is good. Lecturers are good and explain well. The only thing pointles imo are most seminars
dropped out due to no student support
Unis great and give loads of support
Great Uni but stay away from Portland green student village they made the whole first year of uni awful. Uni is great though
Great university to complete your studies and achieve your dreams.
Great place to meet different people from different cultures
Not much to say on the uni, theyre the same as any other. Help is there if you need it, and no doubt they’ve done the best they can with the current situation.
One of the best experiences of my academic life.
- staff are really helpful - facilities are great
Amazing and close to everything
Great University and facilities
I cant speak for all departments, for obvious reasons, but Northumbria University Physics and Electrical Engineering facilities, staff, support, resources and accessability are on point. If you come to university with the aim of achievement, Northumbria physics lecturers, inspire and illustrate the subject in a way that makes you love it.
Only here to review Trinity Square accommodation
It has been a fantastic experience studying at Northumbria!
I am loving my experience at Northumbria. Weekly quizzes at Habita are always fun, support is great from the students union. The library facilities are outstanding and the societies are a lot of fun
Northumbria is great, well worth going. Can take part or blend in and still have a good time.
