Newcastle University: Learning, having fun and surviving the UK weather

Tips: The student mix at Newcastle is awesome and super diverse, but moving here was still a massive shock to the system at first. I had to get used to the local lingo, figure out the food situation, and deal with that freezing Northeast weather all at once. It took some serious adjusting. Honestly though, looking back I’m so glad I made the move. The course gave me a ton of real-world international exposure and my entire experience in the UK has been completely worth it.

Likes (Value for money): I gave value for money a solid 5 because honestly, Newcastle gives you a massive bang for your buck. You aren't just sitting in lecture halls memorizing theories; the course actually balances the heavy academic stuff with real, hands-on projects you can use on a CV. The campus facilities are top-tier too—whether you're grinding in the libraries or using the specific lab spaces—and the professors actually give a damn and support you when things get intense. Plus, when you factor in how much cheaper it is to live in Newcastle compared to cities down south, the quality of education you're getting for the tuition fees is a massive win. Looking back, the whole experience was completely worth the investment.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I rated 3 case settings in the UK, as an international student can be difficult in the long run. Although there are post-study work opportunities, it heavily depends on sponsorship and meeting visa requirements, which can change over time. So it still feels a bit uncertain sometimes.

Most companies look for experienced people rather than students.

Tips: It's life-changing. I often neglected my health because of back-to-back classes and a job. It was very could and I got a lot of skin and health issues. You need to be an extraordinary person to avail a scholarship and allowance. The University and the lifestyle were worth it but I wish I did my Bachelor's there instead of a 1 year Masters because most graduate programmes and internships are catered towards Bachelor studies. They also get to other opportunities like exchange programs, etc.

Likes (Indian Food): The city itself was known for it's multicutural aspect and the wide options for Asian cusine. There is a Chinatown right next to the School of Computing campus and there's an South east Asian market 15 minutes away from the campus. The city itself is pretty small and you could find Turkish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, North Indian, South Indian and many more. I usually cook for myself or go to the canteen in our INTO campus.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Most companies look for experienced people from India rather than Indian students studying there. It was hard for me to look for a full time job and I returned to India immediately after my studies. I think engineers have better job options and desk jobs are something treated like anyone can do after training. It's better to niche down an area of interest.

Great faculty and peers.

Tips: Focus on the core of your undergrad rather than choosing easy subs like management, because out of 100 students 80 are management so that creates a problem when it comes to career while they do have a lot of options when it comes to Engineering, medical, IT and data science.

Likes (Internships): I was able to secure an internship even before completing my studies, so many of my friends struggled because they did not apply for jobs/internships early. If you are a September intake, then students should start to apply at least from the end of November, which will help them.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There have been a lot of changes by the UK government for immigrants and the criteria are changing every year. I would settle for sure because the work culture and people here are really sweet and balanced.

Academically strong with real-world challenges.

Tips: Students should know that the academic workload is intensive and requires strong time management and self-discipline. Support services are available but you need to be proactive in using them. There was a noticeable cultural shift in terms of independent learning, classroom discussions and academic expectations. I received the Newcastle-India Leadership and Innovation Scholarship which covered 100 percent of my tuition fees. It significantly reduced my financial burden and helped me focus on academics. I am satisfied with my university, my course and the country. The education quality, exposure to diverse perspectives and professional opportunities make the experience valuable despite a few challenges.

Likes (Safety): The city feels generally secure and student friendly. Apart from campus security and 24/7 CCTV, there are well-lit walkways, emergency helplines, night shuttle services and active student support teams. There are always police officers on the campus and also the civic sense of local people are top notch. Once I lost my ID card but within 15 minutes I got my ID card back due to high CCTV Surveillance.

Dislikes (Part time work): On campus opportunities are quite limited and highly competitive, especially during term time. Most roles (library, acres, student services) get filled quickly. Off campus jobs in retail, hospitality and warehouse exist but competition is high and schedules are often flexible. Managing part time work alongside academics is hard during peak course work period.

Reputed and an all-rounder university.

Tips: Choose university accommodation rather than private. If going for private choose the one that is near the college, or else you will spend your time walking all day. The university is really good. But you have to be ready to do everything on your own. Lecturers will not spoon feed you. They will just outline the modules.
