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. If the subjects that you are interested in are at City Campus, you are on the correct side of the Programme for your Subject Sessions. If you are interested in any of the courses in the list to the right, these are at Coach Lane Campus, so please turn the Programme over for further information on your Subject Sessions, General Sessions and Tours.

• Career Guidance and Coaching • Childhood and Early Years Studies • Health and Social Care • Midwifery • Nursing • Occupational Therapy • Operating Department Practice • Primary Education • Social Work There is lots on offer at both campuses so you won’t miss out.
