Student review [#21045] for Modern Languages
at Newcastle University

I’m taking the Modern Foreign languages course at Newcastle, studying German, Spanish and Japanese. The Japanese course is outstanding – the seminar leaders are very kind and helpful and the learning resources are fantastic. Spanish and German are alright – the lecturers are fantastic, though the lack of textbooks felt like a drawback to me in these two languages in particular, so if you like structured learning perhaps this Spanish and German course isn’t for you, although they are better for discussing current news and topics than the Japanese course is. The optional modules are good too, I love being able to choose from many topics like history and literature. Everything you need is on campus or very close to it, and I fell in love with the city immediately. Whether you like nightlife or hate it, Newcastle has something for you right at your doorstep. I highly recommend.
