Student review [#28519] for Communication and Media Studies
at Newcastle University

The programme is a blend of both theoretical and practical learning. Although, I wish there was more practical coursework. I just completed my first year but I’m confident that by the end of my course, I’d be able to gain skills that’d help me enter the job market.
The professors are there to guide you, however, it has to be you who approaches them and not the other way around. The best thing about the university is that they have a very strong support network.
There’s a large number of international students and LGBTQ communities as well so you’d always feel accepted.
Newcastle, in itself is the best student city. The living cost is quite low, cheap accommodation isn’t hard to find and the city is easily navigable by foot.
