There are a range of scholarships and bursaries available to prospective students. The financial awards available help support students through their course, allowing them the opportunity to focus on their studies by reducing financial pressures on students and assisting with the cost of living, learning resources and accommodation.
Currently and during the 2017 / 2018 academic year, University life is spread across two linked campuses, with restaurants, shops, bars, Students’ Union and a range of accommodation options. To ensure you get the very best we have invested millions of pounds in facilities and buildings on both campuses. In September 2018 we will be moving to our brand new campus, Waterside.
Our brand new £330m Waterside campus will be open to our students in September 2018. The campus will transform a 58-acre brownfield site next to the river Nene, right in the centre of Northampton.
Waterside will offer our 15,000 students the chance to learn in a fantastic new environment, in modern facilities with all of the cutting edge technology you would expect. Alongside our academic buildings, our Students’ Union will have plenty of space to offer housing advice, support, entertainment and social activities, and the campus will feature a 32-bed hotel, multi-faith chaplaincy and health centre.
Come along to one of our open days on for the opportunity to get a real taste of University life at Northampton and discover how studying here will be a life-changing experience.
