University of Newcastle upon Tyne

Preferably nice environment and surroundings. Campus is in the city centre so that’s very convenient as everything, shops, restaurants etc are around the corner and can use walking as a main transportation.

The main campus is beautiful but more difficult to get between the buildings that are spread out across the city. I study business management and the course is intense but really enjoyable.

I am a maths student in my third year and have somewhat enjoyed my course. however the constant small assessments can be draining on many students as students are faced with deadlines every single week.

Super helpful student union. Go nusu!! I think the facilities newcastle uni has to offer a beyond cool. Campus area is historic. Business school near the stadium is awesome. Welcoming events for exchange students could be more relevant. There really isn’t ant which is a bit sad. You have to be super independent with those. Teaching includes a lot of group works which is nice! Helps you to get to know others.

Brilliant city, good night life, more investment in career support however needed. Good facilities although gym could be bigger.

Newcastle uni’s very sociable and I like it as it’s a campus uni so everything is in one place. The uni is also good with student wellbeing side of things and making sure there are people there that you can speak to if necessary. The uni gym at the moment, is adequate but renovations are ongoing so will hopefully have much better and more equipment available!

Great university and staff. The whole thing is made even better by the extra-curricular opportunities.

Good atmosphere, small city vibes. But the culture isn’t as welcoming as I expected, most of the time people just mind their own business and I barely know more than 1/6 of my class in my course. But the teaching faculty has been good and management is really good at reacting to student feedback

Newcastle is a fantastic university located in a great city. The courses are well structured and taught in modern facilities. The student union is a great spot for socialising as well as doing work and booking meetings spaces. There are small food shops and a bar and club downstairs. The union offer countless opportunities to get really engaged in university life with a society for absolutely anyone. The careers service have really beneficial opportunities to get additional support from CV workshops to small business start up sessions. Overall i'm so glad i chose to study at Newcastle, there's nowhere else i'd rather be and i'd recommend it to anyone!

I have had an excellent experience at Newcastle University over the 3 years I have spent here studying Marine Biology. Overall the university facilities and support has made it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Pretty good uni , few too many plebs.good city with lots to do. Nights out are good and a fair few tech , baseline and d and b djs tour. There isn’t any grime tho which is shit.

Medicine course is what I do it's really good. The uni lecturers are helpful if you need to ask them something and there's so many resources available. The city is a good place to live. The metro centre is a 10min bus away and is the biggest shopping centre in Europe so great for that. Lots of good places to eat.

Newcastle as a city / campus is amazing - the city has the ability to make everyone feel at home. There's loads to do, great transport links and it's a beautiful place. The campus is all relatively close together, with a choice of at least 4 libraries, nice lecture venues and a wide range of eating facilities, it's got everything you need. Personally, I haven't had much interaction with the student union but there are a wide range of clubs and societies to get involved with. I have only visited the careers service once and found it useful to say it was my first time visiting, however it took me multiple visits to the career department to actually get an appointment as it is a drop in facility that doesn't have very long opening hours - it always seems to be busy with a long wait. One of my friends waited 3 weeks for an appointment. I'm studying Law LLB currently at stage 3. My overall experience towards my course has been quite negative. This is mostly due to the staff - a lot of lecturers have poor ways of teaching, refuse to use recap, don't give you any help when you ask for it and instead make you feel a bit stupid. The structures of most of the modules are bad, with a lot of deadline clashes, unstructured material that isn't explained properly, and little to no coursework guidance. During last years exam season we even received an email from one lecturer asking students not to 'bother' another lecturer as they were on study leave and were unable to help us - conveniently the whole exam period, even though they were the main lecturer for that module. Throughout my nearly 3 years on the course I am still yet to receive a simple 'well done' from any member of staff, immense efforts tend to go unnoticed and there is instead a basic expectation that all students keep up with and complete an inhuman amount of work. I can honestly say I have tried my best on the course and my efforts are not reflected through my marks - this course is impossible.

A really pretty campus, spaced out to say it's on the centre of a city too most buildings have their own computer cluster/common room. Timetables are not too packed and student accommodations are on the whole very close to uni. One thing it lacks is communication with students on the functionality of how everything works, the required grades for every year and the details/intricacies of the course. This all has to be found out from peers which is not always the most reliable source.

Newcastle is a great uni for students that like a casual vibe and enjoy good social life. Even if you're not into much of a social life there are plenty of other things to do. The main issue with Newcastle is their lack of facilities, for example the sport facility is very small with the gym being pathetic.

Good city to live in, made good friends here. Buildings are out dated and could do with being modernises

Nice small pretty campus. Decent sports facilities. Human Geography course taught really well. Student union and library very nice with lots of space for studying. Uni timetabling is very organized.

Good university, great friendly and welcoming staff. Lecturers work hard to help you learn and ensure you have all of the essential tools that can be transferred In to your working life after uni

Nice campus, recap is bless. Lectures can be difficult to follow at times. City nightlife makes up for the shortcomings of the university

Amazing nightlife and social life Terrible course; would not recommend a joint honours degree in science they always forget about you and only focus on single honours students. You also get next to no opportunity to pick your own modules the course is very regimented. The lectures are also incredibly boring; could do with being more hands on and interactive Good university reputation Good opportunities in the university to do more outside your course; learn languages, volunteer etc

Brilliant university in a lively city. The staff are very good at explaining things and they make lectures interesting. Why would you go anywhere else?

With the new building specifically for computer science, there is lots of study rooms and computers to use at all times. The lecture hall is spacious yet the board can be seen from the very back. Ask lectures are also recorded and accessible at all times making revision much easier. The only downsides for me is that the same module can have 3 1 hour lectures spread out the whole day, requiring me to stay at the uni.

The MRes is a great course providing both taught and research aspects, however more information on each module would be better before applying for each specific course because changing is a hassle

Campus buildings are really beautiful and it's really boosts you for the day when you're going to a lecture, the sun is shining, and you're surrounded by beautiful people and beautiful buildings
