Overview

Northumbria University, also known as Newcastle Polytechnic, was established in 1969 as an open university from the merger of three regional colleges; these were Rutherford College of Technology, the College of Art & Industrial Design, and the Municipal College of Commerce. The university was founded in 1992 and is affiliated with the Wallace Group.

The school’s emphasis is on academic study and business practice. The International Centre for Life, BINUS Design School, and the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art are among the prestigious organizations that collaborate on this project. The university is widely regarded as one of the best in the UK’s upper echelon.

City Campus and Coach Lane Campus are the two parts of the university. The City campus fosters an atmosphere conducive to learning and personal growth with its award-winning architecture, cutting-edge academic buildings, and world-class recreational amenities. There is also the University Library, which houses tens of thousands of volumes, periodicals, electronic books, dissertations, theses, and other scholarly works. In addition to state-of-the-art labs for disciplines like Life Sciences and Engineering and the Computer and Information Sciences, the campus also has a sports complex. The Faculty of Health and Life Sciences can be found on the other campus, Coach Lane, which features state-of-the-art sports facilities, a brand-new Students’ Union, and top-notch computing and library resources. Cafés, restaurants, and convenience stores can be found in close proximity to both campuses.

Students can study in peace on the campuses. Students have access to all resources on campus. The school has both an undergraduate and graduate curriculum. Over 31,000 individuals are currently enrolled at this educational institution.

Various disciplines are housed in the institution’s four primary faculties: the Faculty of Art, Design, and Social Sciences; the Faculty of Business and Law; the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment; and the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences. Thus, students can tailor their education to their specific interests. Additionally, there is a press that was founded at the university in 2002. It releases works in many genres, including nonfiction, fiction, photography, travel, music, and biographies.
