Newcastle University
speciality: International Business

I like the fact that the business buildings are modern, and have many features available to students such as free wifi, monitors for student use and numerous charging outlets around teh buildings and in lecture halls. The teachers are generally very kind and helpful, they certainly go the extra mile to ensure students are confident and taught. I would criticise the lack of help whilst applying for internships, Newcastle University has no programmes designated for students to easily get some work experience which some other universities do.

I’m an international student, and I’m amazed to be attending Newcastle University. Its campus, which is spread out across the city and is simple to get to, is its main draw. The lecturers are really approachable and helpful. Although it’s a different kind of learning, our professors constantly assist us in understanding the material. The university frequently hosts events that benefit our academic performance and motivate us to engage in more activities.

I loved my 4 years at Newcastle University. The city of Newcastle is amazing and super convenient with everything within walking distance. Although it is a small city there is always something going on and there are cool bars and restaurants popping up every week. It goes without saying that the nightlife is incredible but even if that’s not your cup of tea, the beach is 20 minutes away on the metro and the county of Northumberland is a stunning area of natural beauty. In terms of the university, the libraries are very spacious and have all the facilities you need. As a modern languages student, I had access to the Language Resource Centre and the interpreting labs which are equipped with the latest software. The teaching was of excellent quality and I felt like I was well supported by my personal tutor and the careers service. There are also lots of sports teams at Newcastle University and I was lucky to be part of the Boat Club and was able to meet so many people who loved the sport as much as I did. Overall, if you want to study in a vibrant city and get a good degree from a Russell Group university, I would definitely recommend Newcastle University.
