Student Testimonials

Northumbria University offers Postgraduate qualifications in two of the UK's top student cities, Newcastle and London. We are now delivering Masters qualifications from within the facilities of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS). 

AUAS offers high-quality learning, a range of collaborative programmes including research, academic exchange opportunities and knowledge exchange projects with business partners. Our postgraduate courses are co-created with students and employers to ensure that what we teach provides you with the skills and attributes needed for future success.

Our valued partnership with AUAS also offers the chance for undergraduates from both institutions to experience overseas study on real business projects, allowing Northumbria students to spend time studying in Amsterdam and AUAS students in Newcastle.

We understand how important it is to learn more about the student experience in Amsterdam, which is why we asked our alumni to talk about why their chose to study at our Amsterdam campus.

If you're a member of our Alumni association and want to share your experience of studying in Amsterdam, feel free to contact our Amsterdam Team on: amsterdam@northumbria.ac.uk.

Edward Clayton
MSc Business with International Management (Amsterdam) 

After obtaining a first class honours degree from Northumbria University, I decided to undertake the brand-new MSc in Business with International Management at Northumbria's Amsterdam campus. From learning the ins and outs of what it took to be a international manager in today's world at a bachelor level, I thought I would continue my learning of the subject in a truly international way. The teaching I received in Amsterdam has been second to none, and it has opened up opportunities that I never thought possible. I feel strongly that the skills I have learnt whilst at Northumbria have enabled me to gain a fantastic graduate job at the FTSE 100 company, Taylor Wimpey. 

Matthew Hall
MSc Project Management (Amsterdam)

Choosing to study at Northumbria University is easily a decision I would make over and over again. I started studying right after graduating from my bachelor’s degree at AUAS, forgoing the need for a pre-master. While studying the MSc Project Management programme in Northumbria’s Amsterdam campus, I learnt the essential frameworks of managing projects from a variety of different, highly educated lectures whilst also studying with a diverse group of classmates. The combination of the education, the location, and social life (in the form of an active student society) have made studying at Northumbria an absolute pleasure. The skills that I have learnt have helped me improve my daily work life already, increasing my over efficiency and value as an employee. I even enjoy managing projects now.
