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.

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.
