Student review [#21984] for Digital Business
at Newcastle University Business School

I think the programme is interesting and well structured. The first semester is more theoretical. I covered topics such as e-business models, business information systems, strategy management and project management. I believe this prepared me for the second semester, which is more practical for sure. The programme allows me to develop skills in working with systems such as Excel, PowerBI, Tableau, Google Analytics, etc. The assignments are very practically-oriented, which includes two group works, video creation, app prototyping. Most of the lecturers are ready to help with any academic questions. The programme includes writing a 12,000 words dissertation. Unfortunately, I can talk to my supervisor only five times, which is not enough… which makes the execution of the research a little bit harder for me.
Overall, the new campus is amazing, we do lectures in three buildings, including the Business School, the Frederick Douglass centre and the USB building. Of course, students could also go and study in the library (20 minutes away from the Business school) as well as in the Students Union Building. I personally prefer the Business School Building because of its study spaces as well as the view of St James’ Park. The spirit in the Business School is super international and I love meeting new international friends. Also, the school has a sustainability campaign thanks to which I received a free notebook, eco-bag and a hoody.
Favourite modulus for the moment: Strategy, Management and Information Systems; Data Analytics; Project Management
