At Northumbria it's not just students who benefit from great learning. You'll find a commitment to training and development - helping all staff to achieve collective and individual goals.

Great experience Northumbria is situated in the heart of a great city - Newcastle upon Tyne continues to develop as an exciting, vibrant city offering a huge range of leisure, cultural and sporting opportunities - and in fact in 2006 it was been named by The Rough Guide as the No. 1 visitor attraction in the UK! It's also a great base from which to explore some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK. There's the rugged Northumberland coast, famed for its castles and golden beaches; the wild moor lands of the Northumberland National Park; the beauty of Kielder Forest and its lake (the largest man-made lake in Europe); and, Hadrian's Wall, a United Nations World Heritage site. All are within 1 hour of the city.
