Claim back your travel expenses.

Congratulations on being made an offer to study with us here at Northumbria.

We understand that choosing which university you want to go to is an important decision, and of course we hope you will choose us!

Before deciding, you want to get a feel for the campus and city as well as talk to current students, academics and support staff, and there is no better way to do this than by coming along to one of our Northumbria University (NU) Experience Days.

Learn more about your course alongside other future classmates, visit some of our accommodation, tour the campus and other facilities, as well as talking to current students about why it is so great to study at Northumbria and live in Newcastle.

We understand that traveling to events can be expensive, so we want to make sure you have every opportunity to visit one of our Experience Days by offering a contribution towards your travel costs, up to the value of £40, if you are travelling from postcodes beginning with:
