Newcastle University Speciality : Linguistics
programme: English Language and Linguistics

The content of my course is extremely interesting and there is a wide variety of modules to choose between for each semester. I have definitely enjoyed my studies feel that I have covered a wide variety of different topics. However, with regard to interaction between staff and students, the course is not so successful. There is very little direct contact from module leaders which can be quite stressful at times as it feels as though there isn’t much guidance when deadlines are coming up. It is also rather difficult to find out important information about each module and the lack of connection to academic staff only makes this information more difficult to access. Overall though I have enjoyed my time at Newcastle university, I would just suggest that academic staff make more of an effort to build relationships with their students and ensure students are provided with coherent module guides.
