Admitted Student Resources

Starting at the Boston campus, first-year students will have the opportunity to be immersed into a diverse, global, and thriving campus environment. You will have all the advantages of a small campus feel in a big city—as well as the advantages of small intimate classes and connections within a large university. 

Students beginning at the Oakland campus for the Fall of 2024 will be able to directly transition to Northeastern’s Boston campus after completing their first year in Oakland. Students who would prefer to continue their studies in Oakland will have the opportunity to complete their degree in the Bay Area. The Oakland campus offers a small campus feel, rigorous academics, a bustling community art and music scene, and a deep historical and continuing commitment to equity, inclusion, and social justice. 

The N.U.in Program is a first-semester global experience rooted in Northeastern’s core belief that students should be engaged citizens of the world. N.U.in students begin their studies as a cohort in a global location, before matriculating to the university and transitioning to the Boston campus in January for the second semester. Previous program locations include Madrid, Spain; Dublin, Ireland; Rome, Italy; and Thessaloniki, Greece. 

Northeastern’s uniqueness as a university has always been rooted in connection. For us, scholarship and education are not abstract pursuits, but directly related to the communities around our campuses, our broader society, and the world beyond. Global Scholars is grounded in this concept. Students admitted to Global Scholars experience this journey together as a cohort. Together you’ll study at a Global Scholars program location in your first year—in London, England and in the Bay Area, California, all part of Northeastern’s global university system.  During your second year and beyond, you’ll study on Northeastern’s Boston campus and continue to have the option to explore global program offerings. 

Students joining through the London Scholars program will spend their first year studying at Northeastern University London, an English university situated in St Katharine Docks, a vibrant and dynamic quarter in central London. Located just a few minutes walk from the Tower of London, one of the UK's most iconic heritage sites, and Tower Bridge, one of the most instantly recognizable structures in the world, St Katharine Docks is steeped in the history of London and the River Thames upon which the city was founded. In their second year and beyond, London Scholars will have the opportunity to continue exploring global program offerings. Students can choose to study on Northeastern's Boston campus, while some may have the option to complete their degree at NU London.
