What our students say

Emua Rose Edebor Asuen Master's student and class rep at Northumbria University London Campus

If anyone is thinking about going back to university, I’d tell them to go do it – nothing is stopping them. Age isn’t a barrier anymore; we live in a society where you can go back into your studies no matter the age. So, go for it and make an attempt!
