You receive a topnotch education here. The seminars and research sessions where teams collaborate are incredibly educational and the lectures are fun. The professors here are excellent at explaining various ideas and the courses are presented extremely well.

As a future doctor, Newcastle University is a university that I wholeheartedly recommend. Its facilities and resources in terms of medical research are among the best in the world, and the university is also recognised as a Russell Group university, making it a truly elite institution.

I love the practical side of the course, the lecturer is very helpful and gives many clinical examples during the course. Also, the shadowing experience in a clinical setting is very helpful. Besides, I love the university student life on the campus.

Good resource facilities, generally kind and helpful staff. Some modules with fairly simplified information making it difficult to understand a subject. The big con is students coming to Newcastle for the booze of nightlife, making it less of a pleasant place for academic development.

As an EU student I was terrified to move to a new country and start my life and education there. Now I know I should have never been worried in the first place.

I was petrified I wouldn’t be able to keep up with my work, would struggle with language barriers, mental health and fitting in, amongst other things. What I found was that there is help available for any concern you might have.

This has made my time in Newcastle less stressful and incredibly enjoyable so far. I am looking forward to the rest of my stay here.
