Student Reviews for Northumbria University
- Student satisfaction:
- 4.4 (based on 477 student reviews)
“Newcastle is such a friendly city and there are always things to do. Nights out are always an option, but as far as cities go it’s a fairly relaxed place. Academically, I wish there were more clarity regarding what is expected from students in assignments and exams, and the grading scheme seems to be too subjective.”
“Exams and assignments are usually jammed together which makes it quite difficult for us students to organise and plan out our own time, so it can get stressful. Despite that, I am very happy with the support received from lecturers and tutors.”
“Timetables are quite unorganised and they change too often, which has left me unorganised on a number of occasions because they tend to warn you when it’s too late to change your plans. This only happens occasionally though, as in general the experience was of a high standard.”
About Northumbria University
PROS
- Newcastle upon Tyne offers superb nightlife, according to most students. If this is an important factor for you, the city never disappoints.
- One factor that students appreciate here is the accommodation comes at various price points, from the most -affordable Claude Gibb, to the most -premium Camden Court.
- There’s a wide range of clubs and societies, including Snow Sports, Pole Dancing, and even a club specifically for Mature students. There’s something here for everyone.
CONS
- Students mention that all exams and assignments are given in the same time period, and this becomes stressful for them. The common opinion is that this could be organised more efficiently.
- A common complaint is that timetables change too often, which leaves students with difficulties organising themselves.
