At Northumbria, we recognise that every student's journey is different. Some students bring additional responsibilities or life experiences that can make university feel more challenging, and we're committed to ensuring you have the support you need to succeed.
Whether you're under 18, caring for someone at home, have experience of being in care, are studying without family support, or are one of our Sanctuary Scholars, you'll have access to dedicated support, guidance and opportunities throughout your time at Northumbria.
