Introduction of University of Northampton
University of Northampton, one of the first British national comprehensive universities certified by the Ministry of Education of China and UK Border Agency, is located in Northamptonshire, which is a famous British historical city 60 miles north of London, only one hour's drive from Birmingham, Oxford and Cambridge, and only 57 minutes by train to central London.
Northamptonshire, with its profound cultural heritage and romantic England style, is known as the County of Roses. Manors and estates of royal families and aristocrats are on both of the Nene River, which is running through this city. Princess Diana's former residence, Althorpe Manor, is only 3 kilometres away from the university. Northamptonshire is also a prosperous and quiet modern city with a population of over 200,000, which is famous for its friendliness and safety. There are lots of large shopping centres, theatres, cinemas, parks, libraries and public leisure and entertainment facilities in city centre. The Silverstone Circuit in the suburbs attracts thousands of racing fans from all over the world every year.
Leather and high-grade handmade shoes are the traditional industries in Northamptonshire. The leather major in university is second to none in Europe and even in the world. Due to its convenient transportation and superior social humanistic environment, many world-renowned companies and British large enterprises such as Barclaycard, Carlsberg and Nationwide all set up their headquarters here, which has promoted regional economic prosperity and made Northamptonshire become one of the regions with the highest employment rates in the UK. And the employment rate of UON continues to rank first in England and fourth in the UK.
