QAHE-Northumbria University is a private institution. It operates as a branch of Northumbria University, a public university based in the UK, but functions independently under specific partnerships or collaborative agreements. Private universities typically rely on tuition fees and private funding rather than government support.
The distinction lies in funding and governance: public universities receive state funding, while private ones do not. QAHE-Northumbria’s private status allows flexibility in programs and operations but may result in higher tuition costs compared to public alternatives. Always verify current status directly with the institution, as classifications can evolve.
