Northumbria University, Newcastle has been recognised in the
2021 Best Universities awards by StudentCrowd - the only awards based solely
on student reviews.
StudentCrowd is an online resource for students, to read and write reviews about their university
experience, the city they are living in, their part-time employment and more.
Its annual Best Universities awards cover several
categories including, but not limited to: Campus and Facilities, Clubs and Societies and Students’ Union, in each of which Northumbria has ranked within the top 20
universities across the UK.
The rankings from each category table are based on the
analysis of almost 20,000 reviews, takingthe average score over the 24-month period from July 2019 to July 2021.
Northumbria University has invested more than
£250 million in world-class facilities in recent years, creating a
buzzing, safe and supportive environment for students.
The Students’ Union has over 100 societies and a huge
variety of volunteering opportunities, making it a great place to meet people
and get involved in university life. Students also have a team of Sabbatical
Officers within the Union who are dedicated to representing them and making
improvements in the student experience, which is reflected in the University’s
ranking.
Gaz Smith, President of Northumbria Students’
Union said: “Our mission is to have a positive impact on all our
students' lives. This can mean anything from providing independent and
confidential academic advice, to building communities on campus through
accessible social spaces and supporting our societies as they explore their
passions and interests. We listen to what students want and need and we develop
our services in line with what they tell us - so it’s fantastic to see that
this is recognised with these awards.”
Northumbria currently hold the 29th position in the
overall live StudentCrowd UK University League Table which ranks the top 140 institutions
in the country, with an average score of 4.15 out of 5.
Earlier this year Northumbria secured a place inside the UK top 50 of The Complete University Guides for
the first time. This saw the University ranking within the top 10 nationally in
several programmes including Communication and Media; Building; Counselling;
Psychotherapy & Occupational Therapy, and Information Technology &
