About us

Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.

We are one of the youngest universities in the UK but we are already leading the way in adding value to society, which we call social impact. We have won multiple awards for our work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to us is ensuring that our students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too.

We want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led us to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that you actually learn rather than the way you are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018.

We want to ensure that your experience studying with us enables you to transform your life and those of others too, no matter how great or small this may be.

What makes us different

Forget what you thought a university could be.

We know that not everybody learns the same way - that's why our courses are designed to give you flexibility and ownership of your study.

  • Generous benefits package: Eligible UK fee status students receive a laptop when they study with us. Check our Perks webpage for more information.

It's amazing, both the University and the town. The learning environment is modern and good for studying and the campus is very multi-cultural. I have made many friends from all over the world.
