Feeling incredibly grateful to be part of the Northumbria University community that genuinely transforms lives. As a student and a beneficiary, I’ve experienced firsthand how Northumbria doesn’t just focus on academics but fosters essential life skills that prepare us for success beyond graduation. Dan Monnery's words resonate: with up to 40% of students coming from underrepresented backgrounds, Northumbria is making higher education accessible and impactful. And with amazing partnerships like Enterprise Mobility supporting initiatives like #IntoNewcastle, support from Laura James, Northumbria University Alumni Association and Louise Taylor, even more students get the chance to realize their full potential. Proud to be connected to a university that’s not just educating students but empowering future leaders. #HigherEducation #Socialmobility #StudentSuccess #FutureLeaders #EqualOpportunities #EducationForAll #EmpoweringStudents #LifeAtNorthumbria #UniversityImpact #CareerReady
