Difference between Northumbria & Newcastle Uni?

One's the poly, one's the posh...

Ultimately there's little difference, Northumbria is better for more vocational subjects eg. Nursing but Newcastle has a better reputation for more traditional subjects.

There will be more rahs at Newcastle.
Northumbria people have always seemed nice, but some have a chip on their shoulder against Newcastle.

Don't know anything about Northumbria accomm but Ricky Road is probably the main/only party hall at Newcastle.

No-one goes to the Newcastle Union. Ever.
The Northumbria Union is meant to be good and they advertise at Newcastle too but I've never been, nor do I know any fellow poshies who have.

I know someone doing Communication, seems a bit of a doss to be honest, she has like 4 hours a week contact time. But yeah they both seem fairly good for going into advertising with, and as you are coming all the way from Eire for a pissup, I doubt this is bad news for you.

They don't stick internationals together, often people will stick with others from their own country out of their own choice.

ones a poly, ones an decent uni. if you want a degree worth more than the paper its written on, go to Newcastle. Newcastle uni isn't full of rahs - just make sure you dont go to castle leazes if you don't like rahs

You are stupid on so many levels.

I think they're both universities dear.

You must just have your head stuck so far up your own ass to notice.

Yeah OP, just work hard and go to the good one rather than doing little work and having to tell everyone every second that Northumbria is 'amazing for teaching' or is 'the best in the country for advertising management intergrating information technology studies'. So much inverse-snobbery on TSR.

True, one problem though I am doing the Irish leaving certificate.
It is seen as a lower standard to the a level by the UK universities (rightfully so)
But this means to get in to a red brick using the Irish LC, you would have to be a genius With the higher i have to take to get in, i could almost get into trinity or UCD (they dont do the course though)

DCU do but the nightlife =

Either way i am going to Newcaslte city (il put both down)

Also, i think in the field of creative advertising, industry links/experience are more important that the uni iteslf London would probably be the best choice but its higher points and $ $$$$$$$$$

Bucks New Uni is another choice but noone seems to think much of it

(don't quote me on that lol)

Ring up Newcastle Uni and see what they would accept

oh yeah and no one cares about the SU, you'll go there once in freshers week and thats it. if your worried about meeting people go to catered halls (but not leazes!).

I actually think Leazes looks quite good tbh, and I'am by no way a rah.
(you would probably think I'm totally opposite), so what can I expect from Leazes and why the negative comments about it

sorry... but it's not. and neither are any of other 1991 expoly's. I had a mate at northumbria - had a great time but his degree was an absolute joke (his words).. about four contact hours a week and got a 2.1 doing very little indeed. it's a simple choice mate, these people are just overcomplicating it for you...

full of rahs... fun though. and fit girls..
