Northumbria University

Newcastle upon Tyne is regularly named as the UK’s Best University City by MSN Travel Guide. It’s partly due to the city’s compactness, which makes it large enough to be vibrant and exciting while small enough to feel like home. It’s also due to the sheer number of students: one in every six people in the city is a student.

Newcastle is packed with bars, restaurants, pubs and clubs, so it’s easy to see why the city has been voted Number 1 city for student life, in the WhatUni Student Choice Awards 2014 (Best City Life). Newcastle has also been voted the UK’s favourite City in The Guardian and Readers’ Travel Awards 2014.

Newcastle City Campus: The physical space of the City Campus – with its award-winning architecture, modern teaching buildings and impressive sports facilities – creates an environment that encourages learning and self-development.

Coach Lane Campus: The campus is just three miles from Newcastle City Centre and is home to all students from the School of Health, Community and Education Studies, and has excellent computing and library services; its own modern Students' Union, and new sports facilities.

London Campus: London is home to many major attractions and entertainment with the campus located within reach of many of these hotspots like Camden Town, The 02 Arena, Oxford Street, Tate Modern, the British Museum and more.

Northumbria University has invested substantially in excellent facilities. The 24/7 Library was rated joint 3rd in the country, alongside Cambridge University, in the Times Higher Education 2014 Student Experience Survey. It provides access to more than 570,000 books, 400,000 e-books and 50,000 print and electronic journals. The technical facilities include state-of-the-art laboratories, prototyping workshops, CAD suites, media labs and more. And all of this is backed up by IT support that is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The sports centres offer fantastic opportunities for people at every level of fitness. The University has fitness centres, a sprint track, squash courts, a six-lane 25m swimming pool and numerous outdoor pitches.

There are a huge range of clubs and societies that you can join. With all our thousands of students, there are sure to be people who share your enthusiasms and want to try new activities. If you enjoy any sport at any level, we’re the place to be. Join ‘Team Northumbria’ or learn a new sport and make use of fantastic facilities that include our £30 million flagship ‘Sport Central’.
