As Northumbria University specialises in business management, I felt it would be beneficial to take up a programme with them for my career development. The modules were helpful, especially the Strategic Management and Leadership module which contained multiple case studies and team activities. It also required students to have good communication skills alongside data gathering and analysis capabilities.

The emphasis on assignment-based learning by Northumbria University has allowed me to apply research of real-life examples towards my work, understand the pain points, and practice more in-depth and practical learning instead of purely theoretical learning. This helps to paint a better picture for the theories that I have learnt.

The modules were relevant to the actual situations and dynamics of the supply chain industry, especially in this rapidly changing era where the dynamics of geopolitical uncertainty in the advancing technological world has increased the industry’s complexity. The programme encourages collaboration between students over individual action.

Campus life started off stressful for me at first, but it got better after a while. With 4 semesters and 2 modules running concurrently, this has helped me with mastering my time management skills. Our lecturers were helpful and passionate about sharing their knowledge with us and delivered their classes with a good dose of humour.

I would definitely recommend this programme as Northumbria University is a reputable school with accredited programmes that are recognised globally, and I feel my time here was well-spent.

I chose Northumbria University as their grading was purely assignment based, meaning only projects and essays to focus on instead of cramming for exams. Their Mass Communication Degree programme was also well-known, and was a great choice for me as I have always wanted to be a writer and enjoy expressing myself through the written word.

The curriculum has taught me many things, such as Public Relations and Advertising, which simulate real-life experiences. Even though I am not in either of these sectors, it is good to know how they operate as it makes working with them much easier. The lecturers also had prior industry experience and shared their insights with us.

Our assignments required some critical thinking but with a flexible schedule, they were manageable without procrastination. I had ample time to work on these assignments and also take on freelance writing work, alongside other hobbies.

I would highly recommend the Northumbria University Mass Communication Degree programme given the unique competitive advantages it provides you. As you will complete it earlier compared to your peers, you can begin accumulating more work experience sooner.

What attracted me to the programme was its focus on assignments and group projects. They were relevant to my course of study in Logistics and Supply Chain Management, instead of the usual textbook and exams-focused learning experience found in other programmes.

The campus and administrative support were well-equipped to help maximise our learning experience. Our lecturers understood that we were fatigued adults attending class after work and made efforts to make classes interesting for us. The assignment-based curriculum also took learning out of the classrooms by encouraging us to be independent in our studies.

Through the discussion and research, I was able to deepen my understanding of the concepts, acquire relevant industry knowledge and also improve on my social skills. I would definitely recommend this programme to anyone who wants to open doors to career and progression opportunities.

Northumbria University was a natural choice for me as it holds Double AACSB Accreditations and offers a brisk curriculum which only takes 16 months to complete, allowing minimal disruption to my work.

In addition, the study schedule is convenient for working adults, with 2 to 3 classes weekly and the remaining days used for research and completion of the assignment. Even though it is a part-time programme, it is important to spend those non-school days for research. It was not easy but as I reflect, it was a fun experience nonetheless.

If you are looking for a programme that provides engaging lectures while allowing for flexibility of schedule, I highly recommend Northumbria University.
