Northumbria is a great uni. It has a lovely campus and had great clubs. Plus Newcastle is a great place to live.

I have enjoyed my study with Northumbria, There are various clubs and societies. In addition, the teaching faculty are understanding and friendly. The university is modern and has many sites for students to enjoy. In addition, there are plenty of free courses and trainings. The highlight of my journey is that the university actually listens and cares about the students, they are not following some rule book. Actually they are flexible and modern.

Hi, thanks for this review. We are glad you have had a positive experience with us.
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.
Hi, thanks for this review. We are glad you have been able to get involved in our fantastic selection of socieities and have enjoyed our on campus facilities. Our academic team will be glad to hear they have had a positive impact on you too.

Great facilities. I love the gym as it's absolutely massive and the teaching is at a pretty good standard

We even offer free taster sessions if you want to try a new sport,so those are definitely worth checking out. Our staff will be pleased to hear you enjoyed their teaching, especially as they work hard to ensure our students have a positive learning experience.
Very good University, seems to be anyway as I have not had one lesson inside.

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.

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.
Hi, thanks for this review. It's great to hear you have enjoyed it here and it's a real testatement to us that you've stayed right up until a PhD. Who knows, perhaps the next step will be you joining our academic team!

I didn't go to college much due to COVID so i can't say much about the campus.

Northumbria uni is great and in a great location
Hi, thanks for this review. We are very lucky to be situated in the centre of Newcastle, one of the best student cities in the UK. There's so much to see and do here, so students have both the benefits of campus life and city life at the same time.

Hi, thanks for your review. We are glad to hear you have enjoyed our library and found our ask4help service accessible. Ask4Help is available 24/7 and deals with student enquiries, no matter how big or small! Our library really is a great place to be as it's modern, spacious and has so many resources available to help with your studies https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/study-at-northumbria/university-library/.
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.)
Hi, thanks for your review. We are glad you have a positive experience of the SGU and Northumbria partnership.
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.
Hi, thanks for this review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed online classes, we worked hard to ensure our students had a good learning experience despite the challenging circumstances. It's good to hear you were able to access our help services easily, we are always on hand to answer student queries no matter how big or small! We are also excited for our campus facilities to re-open, in fact a lot of them are now back up and running. We have a range of facilities to check out, from our modern gym to our beautiful architecture studios. See you on campus soon!
Great uni, feels like a proper community!!
Hi, thanks for this review. We are glad you felt part of our community, we always want to ensure our students have a sense of belonging.
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.
Hi, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear you weren't able to use our facilities because of covid, but we hope you will be able to return to use them in the future now things are opened up again!
the facilities that i have used, which has been limited, are very good
Hi, thanks for your review. We are glad you have enjoyed the use of our facilities, we have invested a lot into making them the best they can be for our students!
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.
Hi, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear your studies were interrupted and that you haven't been able to make the most of our beautiful campus. Going forwards, our blended learning approach means you will be able to come back onto campus when you need to, so do make the most of this and explore our modern facilities and range of learning spaces https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/campus-facilities/.
Enjoying my course! Difficult to communicate with tutors online but they are helpful
Hi, thanks for your review. We are glad to hear you are enjoying your course! We understand it can be difficult communicating with tutors online, but please be reassured that they are there to support you with any issue no matter how big or small.
Northumbria University great place to do your degrees its big and lovely.
Hi, thanks for your review. Northumbria is indeed a great place to study, so we are glad you had a positive experience studying with us.
really good uni, very sociable
Hi, thanks for your review. We certaintly are a sociable university, with our Students Union being a particular stand out. They offer over 100+ different societies for our students to get involved in- so we hope you managed to experience at least one of them! https://www.mynsu.co.uk/
It is a a good uni that provided the course I wanted
Hi, thanks for this kind review. We are glad you had a positive experience with us. All the best, Northumbria University
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.
Hi, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear you have had a negative experience studying with us. Online Learning certaintly is a challenge and different to learning in person, but we felt we tried hard as an institution to ensure our students still had a positive learning journey. We will certainly feedback this to our Mech Eng team and hopefully you have also filled in a student experience survey to express your opinion too. We are continously working to improve our courses, so hopefully the blended learning approach going forwards will allow future students greater access to workshops and more practical experience.
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.
Hi, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience studying with us. The pandemic certaintly challenged us all in new ways and we feel that we did rise to the challenge as a university in order to provide our students with a positive learning experience. Please do let us know what program you studied so we can take your comments on board. Hopefully you will have also had a chance to take one of our student feedback surveys to provide more detail.
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!
Hi, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear you have had a negative experience with us. If you would like to provide us more detail about the issues you faced, please do let us know so we can feedback to the appropriate team.
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
