Don't hesitate to travel around newcastle there a lot of places to see. Don't miss Scotland. You just need to have information about way to go. Useful sites www.gobycoach.co.uk for national express coaches.

“Theoretically undemanding, Practically stimulating.”

Sascha R

Denmark, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2018

Overall

The courses were not challenging or stimulating
enough for me, however the practical side of Northumbria's business school was fantastic, especially compared to that of what I heard from my Newcastle University business student friends.

I was able to complete most assignments within one week at the end of the semester.

Pros

a lot of opportunities to expand my CV, scholarhsip for volunteering and studying abroad, and many consulting and placement job opportunities pushed our way.

Cons

teachers didn't believe in the students abilities so we weren't pushed to our limits. Also not a competitive environment within students either.

Overall

I wish I had known...

Before going I was not particularly aware of all the accomodation facilities available. I certainly would have found better if I had had the time to search.

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

From France, travel is not expensive from Nice. Living in a family can be a good experience, but often far away from the university.
