About University of Northampton

Northampton is a small but tight-knit community, and our new, purpose-built campus provides everything an international student might need. This will help you feel quickly at ease and able to focus on your studies, away from the distractions of big city life. At the same time, students find our location to be ideal in terms of cost of living, with overall costs and accommodation costs amongst the UK’s lowest. You will also find that our excellent transport links to other parts of the UK and Europe provide the perfect opportunity to explore; London is just an hour away.

As an international student you will find our staff highly approachable, and our Student Support Systems have been recognised for their quality of employability support and mental health support, so don’t hesitate to ask if you ever need help.

We aim to ensure that as a student at the University of Northampton you will have a rewarding and enjoyable experience that equips you to secure the graduate roles you hope for, with the skills to shape the future.

 

Our Waterside Campus makes creative use of technology, freeing you from the traditional mass lectures, where the focus is on delivering subject content. Instead, we place the emphasis on understanding and applying knowledge through deep and meaningful interaction with teachers and fellow learners in seminars and tutorials. You will be immersed in your subject from day one, using authentic problems and industry-based projects to make your learning more interesting, meaningful and employment focused.

 

Many of our courses offer an additional placement year option. Our campus facilities include flexible teaching and learning spaces, workshops, laboratories, sports facilities, a doctor’s surgery, a shop for groceries, cafes and a restaurant, together with various accommodation options.

 

Studying overseas can be expensive, so value really matters. Both as a University and as a town, Northampton can really make your money go further. We award generous scholarships to support the cost of study. This includes our International Scholarship Scheme, which is a merit-based award providing up to 30% reduction in tuition fees. The town of Northampton is conveniently located between London and Birmingham, with fast and regular connections to cities across the UK, however the living costs are much lower than other UK cities.

“I like the blended learning aspect of my course. The teaching is seminar based and is highly interactive and that allows me to fathom the immense level of content in my course. The learning is also very practical.”
