Faye | School of Modern Languages | Newcastle University

Introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about what you've done since graduating

Since graduating, I have started a PGCE with QTS and am training to be a Spanish and French teacher.

The university's rankings were really important, both nationally and in languages. The university's location and the city itself, too!

My course prepared me very well in terms of subject knowledge and my ability to apply the language to lessons I’m teaching and planning.

The cultural modules in particular were always interesting and the ability to do a year abroad!

Unforgettable. Challenging. Unique.
