Top Tips for Students

Write yourself a to-do list as this will allow you to prioritise which work to do first and will help you be more organised.
Make sure you have a work/life balance, set yourself targets for the day and once you've completed them plan something fun to do.
Before revising buy an egg timer. This will help you revise using the Pomodoro Technique, where you revise for 25 minutes and then have a short beak in a block of four and then have a longer break. This will help you keep motivated.
When thinking which University to pick it's important to think about what is most important to you. Is it the facilities (Sport or Subject), the type of university (City or Campus) or/and the location of the University?
When choosing your course it's important to look at the University websites to see what modules you will be taught and whether it's something you're really interested in.
Make the most out of every experience and look for extra activities to get involved with at your University, whether it's a society, a sport, work experience, a placement or a study abroad year (where applicable).

Make yourself aware of the different support services Northumbria University offers, for example, come along to the Neurodiversity@Northumbria Cafe, join the Neurodiverse Society. Access our Graduate Futures service to develop a world class CV. Enjoy involving yourself in the wide variety of societies available to get the most from your time at university.

Sixth Form Evening Lectures | NUSTEM

Sixth Form Evening Lectures

The lectures run every other Thursday evening from October to December each year. Watch them on demand too!

Higher and Degree ApprenticeshipsHigher and degree apprenticeships offer the best of both worlds combining university study and workplace learning. Whether it’s a new recruit or a current employee, organisations can enrol staff onto a higher or degree apprenticeship to gain new knowledge, new skills and new thinking whilst completing an undergraduate or masters degree.

Degree Apprenticeships

If you're thinking of doing an Apprenticeship it is worth considering a Degree Apprenticeship as this allows you to learn and earn at the same time. There aren't lots of DA options, so we would recommend also applying for that subject on UCAS. Universities hold DA information evenings/days, these will give you a really idea of what to expect.

Celebrating EDI at Northumbria University

Northumbria University hosted its first of many EDI Conferences in 2024 which was very well attended by staff and students.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion | Northumbria UniversityNorthumbria University has strong commitments to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, led by the University Executive, informed by staff and students and embedded through all parts of the University.

https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/equality-and-diversity/

Northumbria University is proud to be a multi-cultural community. We value diversity and are determined to ensure that the opportunities we provide are open to all. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) strongly underpins the University’s Strategy 2030.

Whilst we welcome the greater legislative protection which has been enacted in recent years at Northumbria we have long been aware that there is a compelling moral case for equality. Therefore, as well as implementing our legislative duties we are striving to create a community that positively welcomes diversity by aiming to embed equality, diversity and inclusion into everything that we do.

We intend to become a Higher Education Institution which is recognised for its good practice in this area and are fully committed to enabling the development of a culture where we maximise the potential of all our staff and students.

Northumbria University have a strategic ambition to drive social mobility by maintaining a high proportion of students from low participation backgrounds to eliminate gaps, improve post-study success through education tailored to students' needs.

Northumbria University commit to not using Non-Disclosure Agreements to silence people who come forward to raise complaints of sexual harassment, abuse or misconduct, or other forms of harassment and bullying. As a partner in Pro:NE, Northumbria University work with four other local universities to support more Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) students and staff to widen access and participation in postgraduate research.

Northumbria University promotes a sense of belonging and opportunity for students through its Neurodiversity@Northumbria initiative alongside support from our Student Accessibility and Inclusion Team.

Northumbria University Eco Friendly Action/Aims-

Northumbria University Environmental Sustainability

We are a Hedgehog friendly campus.

We have Sustainability groups in every department to discuss how we can be more eco conscious at work.

We have reduced the size of our prospectus to our new mini guide size in order to reduce the quantity of paper needed.

We suggest how you can be eco friendly too -

Walking to school rather than being dropped off is a fantastic way to reduce emissions.

If you can, plant some wildflowers in your garden to attract bees.

Instead of buying plastic bottles to take to school look into buying a reusable bottle that you can refill at school.
