Northumbria is a good university. I have not used their sports facilities or the SU however the teaching facilities are good.

My course in particular (Design For Industry) is great in the sense that it covers a diverse range of design skills. This naturally equips us as students to be able to confidently interact with designers of different skill-sets, such as graphics, and work to develop products that are well thought through and fit for industrial manufacture.

The university has a good community and the resources are good, despite being hard to get access to. The student union does the best and cheapest food on campus.

Northumbria university has great facilities for students. The library is opened everyday, 24/24 and offers lots of resources online and books, PCs and Macs. We also have lots of societies to suit everyone and the buildings are nice and well-situated. We can enjoy many sports and student prices for the gym are cheap.

This university is in a perfect location. It is really close to Northumberland street where all major shops are located and has many spaces for students to work. The library is open 24/7 so if you need to do work or want to relax you can access it anytime. It is useful for nights out when there are no buses home as I can just wait in the library until the morning.

The campus overall has a wide range of facilities for all courses, with a large library with the capacity to hold the majority of students. The library contains computers, enclosed seating areas with TV screens for group work and presentations, and all books and articles needed for your course. The campus layout makes everything easy to locate too making new students settle in with more ease.

Brilliant union and this is a modern campus with great wifi and a nice layout and everything is designed for student comfort. An amazing university all round with great facilities and they are still building new stuff and investing in their students. Frequent emails with opportunities for outside work and volunteering amongst other things which is great. Northumbria in it's entirety is not the nicest of places to live, but everywhere has its downfalls. The University itself is growing bigger and bigger each year with new buildings and courses to help the next generation strive upon their strengths. Very happy with my experience here.

This is my first year at Northumbria university and so far it has been a great experience. The building I study in is great, lots of space and plenty of computers to use. I don’t tend to use the campus much but when I do it’s always good. The library is also great, good atmosphere and has a good variety of books for everyone to use.

Good location for overseas student. But school fee is too expensive. Need £ 12000 and is hard to let everyone come to study

Northumbria university is an excellent place to study, city campus have up-to-date and modern facilities. The library consists of 7 floors, with great computers and also macs. In regards to the library, the book choices are amazing for your course, library staff are friendly/helpful and opening times are easily accessible for students. The library has a very modern feel, and looks lovely all round. City campus is also great for social life, with many cafes and food outlets to choose from. These include; campus shop, cafes, subway, pizza, and the student union bar. The food is reasonably priced and easy to find when you're in a rush. Finally, city is very modern and up kept very well, with the added touch of sports central which is great if you want to get fit. Then, there is coach lane campus, this campus is about a mile from city campus and compared to city, it is sadly in need of some love and care. The buildings are old, and the location is not great. There was an ok amount of food outlets, featuring 3 cafes and a shop. However, recently the only shop on that campus has closed along with one cafe, leaving coach lane campus with only 2 cafes, sadly. The food is ok priced and nice if you wish to have a quick lunch. Although coach lane could use some love, the teaching and actual facilities are excellent, in my opinion even better than city campus. The lecturers constantly go above and beyond to help, meanwhile the library is filled with the necessary books helpful to your course. If the book isn't there, simply ask and the very friendly library staff who will be more than happy to help. The library itself has 3 floors in total, enough for the small coach lane students. Overall this is an ok campus, but could use some greatly needed improvements to the food, and social aspects for students. As I said previously there is only 2 cafes, which is the only places students can socialise apart from the Student union seating area. There use to be a gym at coach lane, however again, this has now closed, due to lack of improvements vs city campus. Overall, Northumbria university is a great place to study, no matter which campus you are based on, with books and excellent teaching. I fully recommended Northumbria university to anyone, this would be 100% a 5 star rating if coach lane was more taken care of and updated.

Been at Northumbria university for nearly 3 years and I’ve got to say, the campus facilities are modern, professional and clean the building take a Piet Mondrian inspiration and a great place to go and study, unfortunately the lectures on my course of Film and TV Production believe after the 1st year there is no room for mistakes, the career services have a job fayre around 2 weeks after freshers and happen twice a month for 2-3 months at the student union. I’d recommend Northumbria to anyone who is looking to study in an amazing campus at the heart of Newcastle Upon Tyne

Really good modern facilities, with accommodation within walking distance of all learning buildings. Only issue is the sports fields and facilities are so far away that they involve either getting a lift or public transport.

The nightlife in Newcastle is spectacular, bars such as ‘house of smith’, ‘bonbar’ and ‘digital’ hold very good student events which are of a reasonable price. I would highly recommend.

I study film and tv production which is a great course, the study abroad opportunities are incredible as I’m going to New York to study. The student union is also great and karaoke on a Thursday is an amazing night out.

I study Graphic Design and I absolutely love my course and the university. The facilities available to me on my course are amazing and I can't fault them. The tutors are friendly and incredibly helpful and the technicians will help with anything you would like to design and make.
