Our mission at the University of Northampton is to transform lives and inspire change. We aim to ensure that our students have a rewarding and enjoyable experience that equips them to secure the graduate roles they deserve with the skills to shape their future. This is demonstrated in the unique opportunities we can provide to our students:
- Our brand new Waterside campus opened in 2018. Designed for 21st century learning, it combines traditional classroom teaching with online learning and group work to reflect the ‘real world’ of work beyond graduation.
- We’re one of the best teaching universities in the UK. We were awarded Gold in the Government’s Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), placing us in an elite group of only 42 higher education institutions in the UK to be given the highest possible rating.
- Our commitment to social innovation and impact meant we were the first university in the UK to be named as a prestigious ‘Changemaker Campus’. This gives our students and graduates a unique opportunity to make their mark in the world.
- We award generous scholarships to support the cost of study. This includes our International Scholarship Scheme, which is a merit-based award that provides up to a 50% reduction in tuition fees.
- We are focused on life-long employability and enterprise, from courses that offer placement years to our Changemaker Hub, which delivers employment and entrepreneurial coaching to students and alumni.
- Every student is given free membership to all University clubs and societies (the first UK University to do so) and our comprehensive student support package.
- …And we’re accessible! - Our central location (50 minutes train journey from central London) allows for excellent travel connections across the UK but allows for cheaper living costs.
