Newcastle is well-known as a friendly and safe city situated in the North-East of England. The city is consistently voted as one of the best UK cities for student life. This is 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 number of students: one in every six people in the city is a student. And with one of the lowest costs of living in the UK, you can be sure that you’re getting a world class education and affordable location.

What their Students Say
“I really like the fact that my course is so hands-on, so I get to see how people react to the design, how we interpretate designs, and here at Northumbria I have really noticed how they care about the process of design, what’s the train of thought to the idea, and I find it very interesting.
“I love Newcastle, I have actually been to other parts of the UK, including London and Edinburgh, but I love Newcastle the most because it is really peaceful and there is no rush, and everyone is really nice.”
“My highlight of studying with Northumbria has got to be using all of the resources. In Indonesia there is not as many big libraries, and not as many resources in public spaces where you can work. I really liked when I was going through submissions and I was working in the library, and you’d see all the students also working on their submissions, and I can stay there from the sun rising to the sun going down, and then the sun going up again, and even though it was a very stressful and tiring time, it was also such a fun experience for me and my friends.”
“My lecturers have been very supportive, and despite the number of emails and questions you have for them they always reply and are very nice, and are really helpful in their responses.
Even when I asked for help on some research I was doing on other areas that we’re not directly connected to my course, the lecturers were very helpful, so I would say they are fantastic.”
