Newcastle university offers the perfect combination of academia and socialising. Through its extensive list of educational opportunities and exciting social hubs it gives students the best of both worlds.

Staff and students are all very supportive and helpful throughout the year. Students really matter at this school and this is what keeps me motivated. The course that I am taking is very interesting and I also had the opportunity to implement a placement year and work which is what I am currently doing with the university’s support.

Overall I really enjoyed my university experience – the staff took so much care and helped us to learn even when the majority of our teaching went online due to the pandemic. There were a lot of avenues for feedback and generally faculty were keen to improve based on our contributions. My only disappointment was the sometimes narrow breadth of economics materials. I was desperate to learn about a diverse range of thinkers and types of economists but found the majority of the course to be in a similar vein. This may speak to wider concerns about economics as a discipline nationally, rather than my university specifically!

Overall really enjoyed my time at Newcastle. Amazing city, great nightlife, great people. Overall the course was good but think the level of teaching was a bit inconsistent – some lecturers were amazing and some poor

It’s a great university, with good facilities and brilliant academic staff. I did my PhD at the Newcastle University Business School which has the Triple Crown accreditation held by less than 1% of all business schools in the world.
Considering nice and cheap city, it’s a good choice for an international graduate student with a family.

Living in Castle Leazes accommodation in first year, I met a lot of my friends throughout university. I was lucky enough to have an ensuite room, with a large living room and kitchen too for the floor, although they’re not all as modern as this. With over 1,000 people in these halls, they are definitely the most sociable and I would recommend Castle Leazes to anyone going. Societies are also a key aspect of university and allow you to meet more people, join events, be part of a team in sports matches, and it can also add to your CV. I didn’t join a sport until the end of first year, but I’m so glad I did it, even if I started late. I studied Marketing and Management and thoroughly enjoyed my three years there. The lecturers are all very supportive, and you can choose a range of modules in second and third year. The business school has arguably some of the best facilities on Campus and even allowed me to do an internship in Rwanda during my time there. I also lived in Jesmond during my second and third years and would say that it is the best student area in the country. You have so many bars on Osbourne road, everyone is around the corner from one another and it’s also a very nice area with a Waitrose as your local shop, alongside a Tesco and Sainsburys. It’s also relatively cheap for the large houses you get!

Great business school. Module leaders and lecturers are really friendly and give their best to make every student understand the concept and feel comfortable. You arent burdened with stress, and have an unforgettable experience overall.
