We recommend that you arrive on campus at least 30 minutes before your first talk or activity to give yourself time to check in at one of our Registration points.

Please note that information, advice and guidance received at the Open Day is accurate as of today, but can be subject to change as we review our courses to ensure that they are up to date and relevant and that you are receiving the best possible educational experience. Our website is the most up to date place to review our information. In the event of changes the University will consult and inform students in good time and will take reasonable steps to minimise disruption.

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).
