At Northumbria University, our academic strength is shaped by three dynamic Faculties that unite a diverse range of disciplines and expertise, the Faculty of Society and Culture, the Faculty of Science and Environment, and the Faculty of Health and Wellbeing.

Whether it’s transforming healthcare, powering the creative economy, or exploring space-based technology, our faculties are at the forefront of knowledge creation, delivering academic excellence, real-world relevance, and life-changing opportunities for students and society alike.


FACULTY OF SOCIETY AND CULTURE

Interested in creative industries, business, law, or the social sciences? The Faculty of Society and Culture is where imagination meets impact. You’ll join over 11,000 students across four schools: Design, Arts and Creative Industries, Business, Law, and Humanities & Social Sciences. Learning here is hands-on – whether you're solving real legal cases in our Student Law Office, working with businesses through our award-winning Business Clinic, or showcasing your creativity in live exhibitions. We partner with top names like BALTIC and the British Film Institute and work with top businesses from the region and beyond.


FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING

If you’re passionate about shaping the future – through science, technology, architecture or the environment – this Faculty is for you. You'll join a community of over 5000 students exploring everything from space science and AI to sustainable cities and green energy. Our four Schools cover Architecture, Computer Science, Natural and Environmental Sciences, and Engineering, Physics and Mathematics. You’ll learn in cutting-edge labs and studios and get involved in groundbreaking research. Plus this faculty will be home to NESST – our £50 million space technology centre coming in 2026.


FACULTY OF HEALTH AND WELLBEING

Want to make a difference in people’s lives? This Faculty is all about helping individuals and communities to thrive. With over 6,000 students across Nursing, Healthcare, Education, Sport, Psychology and Social Work, you’ll learn from experts and train in real-world environments – including our clinical simulation wards, sports science labs, and school teaching spaces. You'll also benefit from strong partnerships with the NHS, schools, local authorities and charities – and plenty of opportunities to put your learning into practice.
