Northeastern University
Did you know that Northeastern now has campuses in California and London? Below is an update on those campuses and links to more information about them.
We are excited to welcome members of the inaugural class of NU Oakland students this fall and for the continued growth that will come with Northeastern’s Oakland campus in the coming years. We also recognize that this is a new and unique opportunity. In light of this, all students who enroll at NU Oakland in the Fall of 2023 will be able to directly transition to Northeastern’s Boston campus after completing their first year in Oakland, regardless of their academic interests. Students who would prefer to continue their studies in Oakland will have the opportunity to complete their program in the Bay Area.
Undergraduates who enter as first-year students in Oakland through fall admission will live in university housing during their first and second years unless a global experience or co-op experience takes them outside of Oakland. Students who choose to continue their studies in Oakland for the remainder of their program and who meet annual housing application and deposit deadlines will have guaranteed university housing in Oakland for four years.
Students who choose to transition to the Boston campus for their second year will be guaranteed one year of university housing in Boston for their second year. University housing in Boston for students in their third year and beyond is limited and on a space-available basis. These students live in a mix of university and off-campus housing in Boston or participate in co-op, study abroad, or learning opportunities outside of Boston.
Currently, there are no additional planned policy changes for transition opportunities to our Boston campus, including from Northeastern University London. For the most up-to-date policy, please review our NU London FAQ.
We will continue to share updated information about our enrollment opportunities with admitted students, families, and applicants in the coming weeks. The Northeastern Admissions team is eager to assist you and your students throughout this process. If you have any questions, please call us at 617.373.2200 or send an email to admissions@northeastern.edu.
As a reminder, for those with additional applicants this year, the Admissions team is continuing to review the approximately 36,200 Regular Decision applications received and will release those decisions by April 1.

Study a UK Medicine Degree in Malta 2023
The QMUL MBBS Malta has become one of the most popular programmes in Europe.
In 2022 we saw out first cohort of MBBS Malta students graduate and this has further increased interest in the British medical degree offered by Queen Mary University of London. Applications have been growing year on year and as such this programme has itself become heavily oversubscribed.
The tuition fees for this programme are €32,000 for the 2023 enrolment which represents a significant saving for international students who are planning to study in the UK.
Applications are 100% free of charge with Medical Doorway and outside of UCAS. All applicants will need a UCAT taken in 2022.
For more information check out the QMUL section of our website or e-mail us at hello@medicaldoorway.com.
