Being on the Automotive Engineering course, I have limited experience with most facilities. Those related to engineering however, I can say are great! Workshop available through the week to do whatever you want (drills, belt sanders, etc), 3D printing lab, workspaces with many PCs with more than enough software to tinker with, and labs with more specialist equipment for sections such as fluid dynamics, material engineering, etc. Although I’ve only had the opportunity to use it once, the wind tunnel on campus is a pretty cool feature! I’ve only given the societies/clubs section 4 stars because I’m in a society (go-karting society) and have only done 1 race in nearly 3 years, which is a shame. It may be due to a lack of funding, but there’s been (as far as I’m aware) zero communication on the matter. I think there are a good amount of societies but it’s been a while since I checked. The students union is only rated 4 stars because I don’t have much experience with it, unfortunately.
Hi, thank you for your review. It is great that you are enjoying and utilising all the facilities engineering has on offer! Did you know we have over 100 societies at the Student's Union? Which means there is somthing for everyone! Check out our website to explore all we have to offer - www.mynsu.co.uk

I have enjoyed my time at Northumbria University in the main.
