University of Newcastle upon Tyne

I believe Newcastle University is a great University. Amazing town where you can live a proper student life, wonderful organisation and beautiful atmosphere

An excellent university striking the right balance between support and academic independence (particularly exceptional medical, history and architecture schools). One of the best cities in the UK to study at alongside Edinburgh, Bristol, Manchester and Leeds. Do not fear coming here if you're from the South, it's only 2 hours 40 on the train from London King's Cross.

My experience at Newcastle university has been wonderful. I went to a different university at first and hated it - but the teaching levels and facilities here go above and beyond. All of my lecturers are skilled and talented in their field, as well as being impeccable at teaching. It's so close to the city centre and offers such a wide variety of modules to cater to everybody's individual desires. In third year we have many guests coming to speak to us about jobs and life outside of university after graduation, which is very helpful.

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

There are a lot of libraries at different places within the city making it convenient for most students. The student union is a great place to eat some food, have a coffee, study, buy clothes etc!

Most of the campus looks like a red brick University, with the Student's Union at the heart of it all. The Business and Medical Schools are a little further away for the city centre, but still easily within walking distance. Newcastle University has state-of-the-art facilities and great amenities. I study Medicine and Surgery; the course is excellent with a huge amount of interactive and hands-on teaching. We have 2 placement years (stages 3 and 5) to practise our clinical skills in hospital and GP settings. We get a good amount of patient contact and well as lecture-based learning. There are multiple libraries on campus, however the Medical School has its own library on the top floor with plenty of computers and work stations. The career service is always there if you need a little extra support or start to question your path. Newcastle University also has a variety of paid student jobs, e.g. ambassadors, representatives and mentors. This is fun and a great way to find a flexible student job. I have also been using the free University Wide Language Programme to study Japanese in my spare time, the language facilities are amazing and the tutorials are really interesting. I would recommend Newcastle University to anybody looking to study in a vibrant and energetic city!

The campus is so pretty and right next to the city centre so perfectly located. The Careers Service is always there to help if you need them and there are plenty of societies to join.

A nice campus within the city, good services available and always offering new opportunities. A strong careers service to help you to prepare to leave uni

I am a second year student at Newcastle University's school of modern languages. The department is brilliant, always tending to concerns and generally being kind and helpful. Newcastle's campus is beautiful, steeped in history and good architecture (apart from the horrendous Antony Gormley statue outside the arches). Geordies are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet! I wholeheartedly recommended Newcastle for a well rounded university experience.

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.

Amazing all round university. Fantastic facilities and wonderful teaching. Great inclusion of all races and ethnicities.

I'd rate Newcastle university really highly and recommended it to anyone. My course is highly sociable and it's structure makes it impossible not to make any events. There was lots of course socials and opportunities to meet peers in all year groups not only first year students. It has a really good peer mentoring scheme

The uni itself is beautiful, city is so lovely. So muchh to do all the time, night life is amazing. Student unions lovely too. Amazing gyms and sports facilities near too

Newcastle University is a world class university which is climbing up the QS rankings. It has wonderful facilities in all its departments, such as a language resource centre (which is available to all students and staff to use), a dental hospital, institute of aging. As a student, there are many societies to become involved in, and the student union and campus is very well equipped to accommodate all the activities that take place.

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

Absolute amazing place, the university offers so much help for all student by giving us different platforms and reading lists and they're very useful. I have never felt more at home coming to university and that was the first thing on my list that I was worried about.

Overall fantastic university. Architecture is stunning, some amazing lecturers in the field. Organization could be better with admin, wellbeing services poor as well as dyslexia services not being great.

The university allows a good transition from A-Levels. Although hard, the atmosphere is always big and activities, especially the ones as part of student unions are so good and interesting.

The campus and most of the buildings are really pretty. I enjoy walking around campus. The student union is always a place to stop by and kill some time between lectures. The learning facilities/lecture theatres are good. The sport facilities are okay too however I wish the membership was cheaper. I study Marketing BSc and enjoy my course very much. I'm glad that I came to Newcastle.

The Newcastle University campus and facilities are amazing. So many different places to eat on and around campus and you can always find a space to sit. Buildings are a mix of old and modern but each one is equipped with everything you'd need during your studies.

Great quick food on campus subway dominos and more Student shop has everything you will ever need but campus is just across the road from town so your close to everything

Brilliant uni, amazing facilities. Even has a subway and dominos on campus. Medical school is perfect for my degree.
