because I came to the UK a few years ago. I spent most of my time in London but I came up to Newcastle for a weekend and I really liked it as a city. I would describe it as a small city but with a big city feel. There are so many facilities to enjoy, from the international airport to the galleries and museums, as well as being a great city for bars and clubs as well, but it is all within easy reach. If it is too far to walk there then it is only a short trip on a bus or a Metro train.
because I was really impressed by the help that the supervisors offered me. Long before I even got here they were already giving me advice about the application process and guiding me through it. It’s a really friendly place as well. I struggled with the accent of the local people at first but now I am used to it.
It’s colder than I am used to at home, especially because of the Northern hemisphere seasons, but I like that because it is very different. I am really hoping to see snow this winter as I have never seen snow before!
travel around Europe. I have already been to Barcelona and to Paris, and they were both very easy to get to direct from Newcastle airport, which is itself easy to get to on a Metro from the city centre. I also like to go to the Metro Centre, one of the biggest shopping malls in Europe, which is just on the edge of the city.
yes, absolutely, come here. It’s a great place, small enough to feel friendly and not impersonal, but big enough to have all of the facilities that you need for studying and relaxing.
Open Days are a great way for you to get a feel of the University, the city of Newcastle upon Tyne and the course(s) you are interested in.
