Why study in Northamptonshire?

Northamptonshire in the East Midlands is a mostly rural county with just two large towns, Northampton and Corby. Its central location, right in the heart of England, has helped to shape its history and makes it just a stone’s throw from many great cities in the bordering eight counties.

Despite being the most landlocked place in Britain, Northamptonshire’s rural heritage is governed by the waterways. Along with the River Nene, it is here that the Grand Union Canal and the Oxford Canal meet, and the county’s canals attract more than three and a half million visitors each year.

Northamptonshire has often been described as the county of “spires and squires”, for its parish churches and posh country manors and you will delight in the thatched cottages and country pubs that make up most towns – and if you need to get the adrenaline pumping, Silverstone is the home of the British Grand Prix and a must for petrol heads at any time of year.

Top places to visit in Northamptonshire include Althorp House, Nassington Village, Stanwick Lakes, Silverstone Circuit, Coton Manor Garden, Rushden Hall Park and Royal & Derngate Theatre.

In February 2013, the University of Northampton received international recognition for its commitment to social innovation and entrepreneurship by being designated a ‘Changemaker Campus’ by Ashoka U. Northampton is the first Changemaker Campus in the UK and joins a global network of 21 other Changemaker Campuses. These institutions collaborate with each other and Ashoka to advance social innovation and change-making across higher education to graduate millions of change-makers.
