University Of Northumbria At Newcastle

RESEARCH: Our strong performance in the Research Excellence Framework (REF2021) saw us rise to 23rd in the UK for research power, establishing us firmly as a research intensive university. Research funding applications and awards have surged in this financial year, with applications increasing by 29% and awards by 31% over the previous year.One example, which we are really pleased about, is the UKRI-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Citizen-Centred Artificial Intelligence, a £9 million initiative that welcomed its first cohort of students in September 2024.

RESIDENCES, CATERING AND CONFERENCING: Northumbria University provides a range of support services that enhance the student experience and engage external stakeholders. These include university-managed student residences housing over 5,000 students annually; on-campus catering outlets offering affordable meals to students and staff; and conferencing facilities that host academic, professional, and community events.
