Which Campus?
Check Which Campus to Attend
Northumbria University has two campuses in Newcastle – City Campus and Coach Lane Campus. Please make sure you check which Campus the subjects that you are interested in are held at.
• Nursing, Midwifery and Health
• Physiotherapy
• Social Work, Education & Community Wellbeing
If the subjects that you are interested in are at City Campus, you are on the correct side of the Programme. If you are interested in any of the subject areas in the list to the right, these are based at Coach Lane Campus, so please turn the Programme over for further information on your Subject, General Sessions and Tours.
There is lots on offer at both campuses so you won’t miss out. There is also a free shuttle bus between City Campus and Coach Lane Campus running on the day if you would like to see both campuses (see page 7).
