Student review [#21050] for Modern Languages
at Newcastle University

I find the teachers to be friendly and supportive, as are the fellow students on my Japanese Studies programme. It was easy to make friends in the classroom setting of our lectures, as you would see the same people almost everyday and get to know them well. The Modern Languages department felt very inviting and warm, which me feel part of the university community right away. There are great facilities in our building, including a dedicated and impressive library for language study.

The only thing I would change id to have more Japanese classes (rather than the outside subjects), especially in the second year. In order to make up the right number of credits/modules, there are unfortunately times when I had to pick subjects that did not interest me at all [such as general culture courses/fairly obscure politics courses] They had nothing to do with Japanese or even languages, so it did not feel the best use of my time.
