Northumbria University

Northumbria University

Iv'e been offered a place on a course at Northumbria University and wondered if anyone goes there can tell me their opinions on it, iv'e also been offered a place at sunderland and teesside but i reckon northumbria has the best reputation. Cheers

Yeah im going to do an english degree, its defo between northumbria and sunderland i just cant make my mind up. Im quitting my job and just going to get something part time on an evening i think.

Northumnbria Uni rocks bigstyle!

sunderlands canny shite

House is sorted, my dads just got promoted at work so everything on that front is okay now. Sunderlands a lot more convenient, travelling to newcastle everyday will be a nightmare. God i just dunno what to do!

Northumbria is a better uni though, so a geree from there will look better on your CV and be worth the inconvenience in the long run

i concur, i wish i went to another uni. waste of time and coin going to sunderland

u not applied for durham uni emma, their english degrees should be good

your head looks like one

You have to be intelligent to get into Durham booth, i have no chance lol. I think im going to ring them tommorow and ask if i can go and have a look around and stuff. Lauras brother went to sunderland and he's doing alright now teaching down manchester, i have a few weeks to decide so enough time to have a good think

if its a toss up between sunderland and northumbria i know which one id choose.

i dont kow what their english departments like but if its out like their IT stuff id give it a miss

Very good point, Peter not 100% sure what i want to do at the end of it- got a few options, teaching being one of them

English is a good standard degree that you can do millions of things with. Stop giving the girl shit advice

I like English though dont think its boring

You can go into things like journalism etc Ive always fancied teaching though - me mam taught english so that must be where i got it from!

Thanks, he's not much help is he

it's excellent - but i do work there :blush:

where do you work there?? Are we rivals???

u just finished psyc at newcastle haven't you? i work in northumbrias psyc dept

posh cow

oh do you??I didn't know that!!I am now working for Newcastle Union for a year so thought we might be rivals!!lol

I can't comment on Sunderland but I do recommend you NEVER go to Northumbria.

Tutors are awful! Worst around. There's a society dedicated to it!

Too many foreign students and the calibre of local / foreign students is poor. Difficult to work with thickos or people who can't speak English.

Website ALWAYS down when you need it most

Exams - I had an exam where three of the questions were wrote incorrectly this year.



This post may never end so I'll stop now.
