Student Profiles
MarkNewcastle is the best place I have lived so far, it's comfortably sized, has nice relaxed areas, and has all the amenities that I would want, without the chaos of a larger city. |
MikeThe University has an absolutely phenomenal library with staff who know their stuff and are very approachable, which is really useful particularly, when you are searching for resources. |
 IsaoThere is a clear system at Newcastle University as to how a PhD should be studied for. I have been well advised by my supervisor on the progress I should be making at different times during the research and writing up periods. |
SusieI feel that the faculty for my programme is very approachable even though they are well known professors with busy schedules. I also love meeting people from all over the world and learning about their cultures. I’ve made many friends from countries I knew nothing about before. |
MarkNewcastle is the best place in the world for a young person to have a university experience. Nobody works or plays harder than Geordies! |
 RyanThe academic staff like to keep the students close knit. They are willing to chat about the subject out of class and I generally receive responses to my emails within an hour. It makes the course feel more like a family than just going to classes every day. |
CarlyThe city buzzes with vibrancy, personality and character and Geordies are the nicest people you’ll meet. |
Hsuan-ChangNewcastle is a multicultural and vibrant city. People are friendly, and the living cost is lower than many other cities in the UK. |
ClareThe Primary PGCE course at Newcastle University has an excellent reputation. The tutors have a wealth of experience to share with students and they know their specialised fields inside out. |
SarahWhat I've appreciated most about the course is the expertise of the teaching staff and the rich diversity in other students’ experiences |
AnnaI chose to come to Newcastle University after being advised by former postgraduate students of the University. They especially mentioned the expertise of the teaching staff. |
 LizThe staff in my school are extremely helpful and flexible. They are fantastic and want to make the course the most beneficial experience for each individual student. It is more to them than simply following the curriculum. |
