Learning, Growing and Everything in Between

Tips: The changeover also went pretty smoothly. There were certainly changes in terms of culture, but I really appreciated having the chance to try new things and meet people from different backgrounds, as well as gaining some freedom. This is a highly enriching experience for me. I am very satisfied with my entire experience here. I've had a wonderful time at Newcastle University.

Likes (Quality of faculty): 1. The faculty of Newcastle Business School was very courteous and helpful to me during the course. They were always willing to help me out with anything concerning the course content or assignments. It was nice how approachable and friendly they were to us, students. 2. One thing that I noticed about the education system in the UK was how much they focus on research and independent thinking. It was important for us to read a lot, ask questions, and base our views on research. This has affected the way that I work a lot since I now start to search and understand the background of anything that I am going to work on. 3. The teachers were also very diverse, coming from different parts of the world, such as the UK and Europe, China, and India. The combination of all these people contributed to a very diverse environment in terms of knowledge, experience, and methods in the classroom.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I rated permanent immigration and settlement options a 3 because the current UK immigration landscape has become more restrictive, with visa requirements and sponsorship limitations making long-term settlement more challenging. While I had a very positive experience in Newcastle. Its regional job market is relatively smaller compared to cities such as London or Manchester, so students looking to build a long-term career may need to consider relating. That said. I don't SEE this as a negative reflection on Newcastle or the university. Ultimately, opportunities also depend on how proactively one builds experience, networks, and approaches the job market. My advice would simply be to understand the visa landscape and employment opportunities early and make informed choices from the beginning. Given the chance, I would genuinely love to move back to the UK and build my career there permanently. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the UK both personally and professionally, and felt very comfortable with the culture, lifestyle, and overall environment. I would be happy to explore opportunities that could allow me to return and establish a long-term career there.

Newcastle University - a home away from home

Tips: One thing that students should know about the university is that it is far up north in England. It can get pretty chilly and has comparatively shorter days in winter. So, it can be a couple of dark months. However, that also helps beat the summer heatwaves since it's comparatively colder than down south. Along with that, it's a city very close to the beautiful coast.

Likes (Public transportation): Public Transport abroad can be rather daunting to figure. However, Newcastle is a beautiful city with good connectivity throughout, with buses, the metro and a train station right in the city centre. Under the age of 22, the buses and metro cost 1 pound, which is quite reasonable and makes it really easy to use public transport.

Dislikes (Value for money): Value for money is something I can't comment on as of now. However, in my experience so far, the course is a perfect blend of in-person contact hours and independent study, with loads of practical work as one would need in a course like Computer Science. It is not the most mathematically focused course, so I do believe that is an area the course lacks a bit in.

this university is a home away from home.

Tips: I thoroughly enjoy studying at the university, it's a beautiful and affordable city close to the coast. It can be quite cold up north. The university also provides scholarships, I myself have a 50% scholarship that reduces my tuition halfway. The city and the people are super friendly, and it has a lot of active societies.

Likes (Internships): The university's career portal has a lot of internships and graduate programs on there. Along with that, the university has its own internships, which are basically small businesses and startups partnering with the university and hiring students from the university for internships. There's a bunch of opportunities for every field.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Keeping in mind the present status of the job market as well as that of the visa program, it would be quite difficult to forecast anything about the future. But in light of the present scenario, an individual who works hard and has a sponsor will be eligible for ILR. Also, if an individual sets up his business in line with the guidelines laid down by the government, then he will be eligible for a Tier 1 visa and hence ILR within three years.

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.
