MSc Data Science - Batch of 2025

Newcastle University provides great student life and friendly campus.

Tips: I got a scholarship directly from the university, which was a huge help. The professors are very nice and teach very well. They are willing to help anybody you just need to reach out to them. The university organizes many activities for students, which is great. It includes sports and activities, seminars, etc. Try to participate in them and build connections. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my course, college and the country.

MSc Advanced Computer Science - Batch of 2025

3.9

Newcastle University has solid engineering programs.

Tips: Before you join this college, do your research on the university and the city where you'll be studying. Find out about the job opportunities, and connect with the college alumni on LinkedIn. Start applying for part-time and full-time graduate or postgraduate roles as soon as possible.

Likes (Public transportation): There is good connectivity between buses and metro throughout the city and the fares are reasonable. If you want to get somewhere faster, you can always hail a cab. If you live close to the university or city centre, you can easily walk to many places. I have never faced any issues with travelling so far.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are hard to come by because there are a lot of students from Newcastle University and Northumbria University applying for the same jobs. To get a job, you need to be smart and have good interpersonal skills. It is also a good idea to start applying for jobs as soon as you settle into your accommodation.

MSc in Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management - Batch of 2025

4.2

Newcastle University has a good faculty and strong academics.

Tips: The food options are not very appetizing. Also, the cultural shift from living at home to living on campus can be difficult. However, the university provides support through the accommodation and induction programs. Also, the vice-chancellor international scholarship offers financial assistance of 4000 pounds. The faculty are very accessible and approachable. They foster a supportive learning environment through open communication. The teaching faculty is diverse. I am quite satisfied with the course at Newcastle University.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Public transportation is cheaper compared to other cities, and the campus is well connected to the city via the Tyne and Wear metro. Haymarket station is nearby and offers frequent services to the suburbs and the airport.

An enriching and transformative academic experience.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should understand the course structure, cost of living, campus life and local weather. Transitioning here involved adjusting to a research-oriented academic system, multicultural social norms, and independent living, which was enriching but required effort. I availed a merit-based scholarship, which eased financial pressure. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the university's supportive faculty, relevant coursework, and the country's safe, welcoming environment, making this a transformative experience.

Likes (Safety): The campus and surrounding areas feel secure, with robust measures in place. The university provides a safe environment for students, and the city overall has a welcoming atmosphere for international students, which significantly enhances the sense of safety. Facilities provided are Emergency call stations, safe transport services, counselling and support services and much more. The city has a friendly local community that makes international students feel welcome. People are generally approachable and helpful.

Dislikes (Part time work): While part-time work opportunities are available, they can be competitive and vary in accessibility depending on the campus and location. The work experience gained is valuable, but balancing it with academics can sometimes be challenging. On-campus jobs are relatively common and include roles such as library assistants, research assistants etc. However, the availability of these roles depends on the size and resources.

Msc Supply chain and Logistics course review in Newcastle University

Tips: Students should first know that it is going to be a huge cultural shift in terms of education and living. They have different grading styles and a lot of group projects. Even the exams are grade different than in India. Keywords and on-point are preferable rather than filling up the page. Scholarships are hard to get but very educative. They can help you financially as well if you can secure one. Scholarships are usually fewer in number so highly competitive but many international students get that if they can submit compelling essay. Overall experience was average because the UK market is competitive in terms of securing full-time jobs in your area. College does have many fair but it is tough for Masters courses when you don't have enough experience.

Likes (Public transportation): Newcastle has very good connectivity in terms of bus and metro. There would be a lot of options available all the time specifically towards the University which is right in the city centre. So for each ride, it costs you 2 pounds on the bus. But there are several cheaper ticket options available where you can take a monthly or weekly bus pass for that particular zone and can travel an infinite number of times. The secret part that not many know is that the university provides a bus pass to students for free travel. You just have to mail them and they will send you a coupon code to avail of that. It is valid throughout your university time.

Dislikes (Part time work): In the beginning, we went to many job fairs that represented us with part-time jobs in university but those were extremely competitive and applications would be in 1000's against very few openings. Part-time jobs are manageable in terms you being flexible and willing to work after classes and ready to work on weekends. Weekends are a good option to manage both expenses and your studies. The average payout right now is 11.44 GBP per hour which is quite decent for expenses every month if you can work the full 20 hours per week.

MSc International Business Management - Batch of 2023

1.9

The university provides very less internship and job opportunities.

Tips: Job opportunities in this city after completing your Master's or Bachelor's from the university are fewer and you might need to consider another city for better job roles, especially in Management and consulting. Your college tenure would be eventful, hectic and engaging, hence you would never notice the Emptiness of the City. In fact, I would also say that most UK nationals consider this City to be their Post-Retirement PLAN since it's muted and almost dead, especially in the winter. So you might have to rethink if you're looking for a flashy, happening or crowded city. I never knew about the Winter Depression before moving to Newcastle but it is for real. It gets Chillier up to -12 degrees Celsius, super windy and lonely during winters, which feels like never-ending. At last, it is a research based University. It is decent for studying Masters, so I would recommend it for Post-graduation, & also Newcastle as a City can be considered for a year or two courses. Still, Bachelors from here would be worthless and a complete waste of time.

Likes (Safety): I felt safe in Newcastle upon Tyne. The local people were nice and sweet. The city is not heavily populated, which contributes to the feeling of safety. Geordies are super fun and helpful. You can actually walk down the street as late as midnight or even longer, you would never feel unsafe or comfortable.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I wouldn't want to live here since I don't like the weather here and it is mostly on the colder side which is kind of depressing in the long run. Over the UK I would definitely prefer the climate of India to live, as it feels lively, happening and eventful in India.
