About the university

The University of Northampton are not just like any other University. They are one of the youngest universities in the UK but are already leading the way in adding value to society, which they call social impact. The University of Northampton have won multiple awards for their work in this area, among others, but what matters the most to them is ensuring that their students and graduates have the opportunity to make their mark on the world too. That’s why they were the first university in the UK to be named as a Changemaker Campus in 2012.

The University of Northampton want to break the mould of what Higher Education can be. This has led them to build a whole new University from the ground up that is designed to reflect the way that students actually learn rather than the way they are expected to learn. Waterside Campus opened in September 2018. The University of Northampton’s commitment to transforming lives and inspiring change is at the heart of all that they do.
