Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at Newcastle University

Great social life, good options for student societies, a lot of student support. A lot of professionals teaching on the course and it gave me exactly what I wanted for my career progression into genetics read full review

Choosing Newcastle University has been the most rewarding decision of my academic journey. I thoroughly researched both the city and the university before applying.

Student support at Newcastle University is excellent, and the IT service is responsive. When I experienced an issue with my student card, it was resolved promptly. Lecturers are approachable and attentive; my Degree Program Director has been especially supportive. Each student is assigned a personal tutor for guidance. When I requested a reference, my tutor responded the next day and provided it without delay.

Initially, I was concerned about fitting in and finding an inclusive environment as an international student. However, I quickly felt at home, as lecturers treat all students equally and foster an inclusive atmosphere.

My MSc in Global Conservation is progressing well. I have gained valuable knowledge through coursework, events, and conferences. Workshops also connect students with employers and companies. I found the Green Planet events particularly beneficial.

My accommodation has been great as well. I wanted something affordable and comfortable, and I found it at Jesmond Road West, a university housing complex for postgraduates. The accommodation service is quick and reliable. My room is spacious, and the best part is having wonderful flatmates. We support each other and live like a big family.

My story has helped guide my friends in their decisions for a place to study, and most have applied to and received offers from Newcastle University.

I think the Student Union should consider offering a printed student handbook to help new students adjust to the university. It would be a useful guide for newcomers to the environment.
