Northumbria University

Northumbria is well known for its School of Design, which was formed from one of the original colleges that made up Newcastle Polytechnic. The university also scores highly for architecture, engineering and midwifery. Northumbria is also one of the best universities for sport, and consistently ranks in the top 20 of the British Universities and Colleges Sport table. More than 550 employers sponsor degree programmes and accreditation comes from almost 50 professional bodies. This is one of the highest rates in the UK. Northumbria also offers 'clinical' courses in law accredited by the Law Society and Bar Council. These allow graduates direct entry to the profession after their degree.

The University of Northumbria is one hour away from Edinburgh via train, and 2 hours 40 minutes from London on the fastest rail service. The closest airport in Newcastle is just 25 minutes away.
