Newcastle University Postgraduate Study 2019 entry
Riddhi, MSc Drug
Chemistry (India)
I was keen to pursue my post raduate
de ree in Dru Chemistry, and this
course was only o’ered by Newcastle
University. The course structure
and subjects were also in complete
sync with my area of interest.
Post raduate study is more
challen in but an excellent
opportunity to explore your potential
and develop your research skills.
It develops your analytical thinkin
and reasonin skills. The seminars
that had uest lecturers were
amazin – they ave me the
opportunity to learn the trends
and latest research oin around.
Also the tutorial sessions ave me
the chance to meet my tutor on a
one-to-one basis and remove any
concerns I had.
Newcastle is a very beautiful and
peaceful city. It has a lot of students
around so it is very easy to make
friends and have a ood time whilst
you are studyin . I would definitely
recommend my friends to apply
to this university.
Jonathan, MSc
Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences
(Guyana)
What I most enjoy about my course
is the ran e of modules o’ered.
You can tailor your curriculum
accordin to your preferences.
I’ve chosen an a ro-ecolo ical
concentration with a mix of
modules that focuses on both
farmin and ecolo y.
As a post raduate student,
a reater level of discipline and
responsibility is required.
With assessments mostly by
assi nment and based on
real-life scenarios, reater critical
analysis, problem-solvin and
decision-makin skills are required.
The heavy workload on the course
also requires you to mana e your
time e’ectively.
Newcastle is truly an international
student city, which has allowed me
to meet people from all over the
world. My immediate aspiration
after raduatin is to find a career
in rural development and resource
mana ement in a riculture.
Kinsey, MSc
International Marketing
(USA)
The MSc International Marketin
course provides a unique learnin
opportunity and is very relevant
to today’s international business
environment. From both an
academic perspective, as well
as an extra-curricular and social
perspective, I would absolutely
recommend my course to
prospective students.
Post raduate studies shouldn’t be
easy. However, with a stron work
ethic, much independent studyin ,
and a motivatin drive to excel,
the hard work is equally rewardin .
Lectures are lar e for this course,
while seminars are very small and
provide more direct opportunities
for class participation and feedback
from lecturers.
Newcastle University provides a
post raduate community unique
amon many other universities.
The hi hli ht of my post raduate
experience has been the opportunity
to explore the city and surroundin
areas with new friends. Bein part
of such an inclusive, international
community has been so much fun.
After raduatin , I aspire to be at
the forefront of the ever-expandin
industry of international marketin
and desi n.
Life
Studying a Master’s
course is a unique
experience and given
that it’s usually only
12 months, can go very
quickly. But the rewards
are limitless and the
memories you make
will last a lifetime.

Tariq, MA Human
Resource Management
(Saudi Arabia)
Bein an international student
studyin at a post raduate level
was a bi challen e for me as it’s
a totally di’erent experience, but
I found so much support from the
University, especially the writin
courses and the friendly sta’.
In addition, fellow students were
really helpful, which made thin s
easier and opened my eyes to
new thin s.
Studyin here definitely provides
added value because of the resources
the University has to o’er. This
includes opportunities to volunteer
nd en a e in di’erent activities
at help personal development.
am a student representative, so
meet with sta’ to represent the
tudent voice. This has helped me
to develop problem-solvin skills,
en a e with sta’, and has been
one of my best experiences.
Wenzhen, MA
Cross-Cultural
Communication and
Media Studies (China)
The combination of modules from
two schools is the most wonderful
part of my course. It enables me
to study communication studies
and media research.
I would stron ly recommend
the course, especially to those
interested in studyin more than
one subject area at post raduate
level. Althou h the workload is
obviously much more than at
under raduate level, the timetable
is more flexible.
The University not only o’ers a
ood environment and resources
for studyin , it also encoura es
students to et involved in the
societies and out-of-class events.
We can easily find di’erent kinds
of activities or job opportunities.
I think the people in this city are
very friendly; I’m really happy to
live here. After raduatin from
Newcastle University, I’d like to
work in media communication
or public relations.
