Everything you need is on your doorstep – from a laundrette to study space. It’s not all work though; the university also boasts a variety of food outlets to suit all tastes and budgets, from a convenience shop with a post office to cafes and restaurants. In your spare time, take advantage of the University’s partnership with Trilogy Gyms and visit the gym and swimming pool facilities in the town centre - there’s great student discounts available.
Keeping your wellbeing in mind, all students have access to a range of dedicated support services, free of charge, including financial guidance, counselling and other mental health services plus a Multi-Faith Chaplaincy. If you have any disabilities or additional needs, the Additional Student Support and Inclusions Services Team (ASSIST) can provide students with access to a diverse range of services and disability-related support.
The University of Northampton is home to a whopping 40+ sports clubs, and it’s one of the first and only universities in the country to offer completely free membership to these clubs, meaning you won’t have to pay any fees to join, for kit or to attend trips and events.
The Students’ Union has a range of societies focusing on everything from Doctor Who and Harry Potter to cake-making and music. Plus, if your interests aren’t catered for, you can always start your very own society ─ you only need seven members to get going.
There’s also Element, our independent Students’ Union venue in the heart of town hosting all of your regular students nights and freshers’ activity.
