As an international student, I was pleasantly surprised at how accessible oriental shops in Newcastle are! There’s always something or somewhere to go in the city that suits everyone – whether you’re into street photography or just looking for a good brew, you’ll definitely find it here.

“The facilities and the campus are fantastic, the campus is in the city and all the facilities are really close together which makes it really easy to move from one place to another.”

“I chose Northumbria because of the sponsorship that the Embassy provided and my friends who highly recommended the University to me. The studying facilities are fantastic and the timetabling is great because it allows me to take advantage of my free time here, which is often filled with extra-curricular activities on campus.”

“My modules are marked in a way which is very clear. Each assignment is broken down and it is marked fairly. It is also very easy to get feedback from my tutors. My tutors are all very nice and helpful and will explain things thoroughly if you don’t understand.

“I like the mix of cultures on campus, the facilities and the staff. The staff are really friendly and helpful, which makes me feel comfortable even though I am away from home. It’s like a home away from home, I love it here!”

“I chose to study at Northumbria University because of its AACSB accreditation.”

“We learn a lot about the British culture and I find this interesting because it is very different from my culture back in Kuwait.”

“I absolutely love Newcastle, there is so much to do and so many students. The campus is beautiful and there are loads of facilities where I can do extra-curricular activities around my studies.”

“Newcastle is a brilliant city for students, it’s full of friendly people and there’s always loads to do.”

“The lecturers are really friendly and explain things thoroughly. If I do not fully understand things, they will explain things clearly until they are confident that I know all the information I need to complete my assignments.”
