“As an international student, it was the best experience I could have hoped for. There was so much support offered by lecturers and staff in general. The courses were multidisciplinary and with strong links to industry. I would definitely recommend Newcastle University to everyone.”
“The facilities are well maintained and there is a good variety of them, however the printers available don’t usually work and on the social aspect, the student union could definitely improve.”
“Besides the lecturers taking so long to give feedback, my experience has been good. There are many societies to join and meet many new people. Great social life, I would recommend it.”
