Achievements
Twice over we have been rated as 'excellent' by The Higher Education Funding Council For England.
The Times Higher Educational Supplement listed Northumbria University as one of a handful of top rated universities for the provision of business and management education in the UK.
League tables in the national newspapers also rate courses at Northumbria as outstanding. On top of this Higher Education Auditors have rated sixteen of Northumbria's subjects as excellent.
And with a very high average across the board, Northumbria University is in the premier division for the quality of its teaching!
More choice
Why be restricted to a handful of business courses from other institutions when our huge range of modularised programmes give you much more to choose from with more flexibility in the variety of units too?
Library Resources
The University Library provides a comprehensive range of services to support students throughout their studies.
Quality of libraries and access to IT are amongst the top factors for prospective students choosing universities.
Northumbria is recognised as having some of the best learning resources and support in the sector. A recent £6 million investment in facilities has created an exciting new learning environment tailored to the needs of today's students.
As well as this, the City Campus Library is currently home to the Newcastle City Libraries Patents Advice Centre.
The Patents Advice Centre offers information and advice on all aspects of intellectual property: patents, trade marks, registered designs and copyright. The service is open to anyone within the North East. Information and advice is free and, for those able to visit, free assistance in patent searching is provided.
