Architecture - BA (Hons)

Newcastle University

It’s pretty. I wish they improved more of the facilities in architecture school. Our studios are quite dirty from pervious students so it’s not fair for new students to have a dirty studio when they walk in. Other than that the gym is great but Northumbria has a pool and a sauna and even a climbing wall

Newcastle is one of those universities where the experience is often better than the marketing , and that’s why people who study there tend to speak about it so fondly. It is a great place to study architecture, but it’s also a place with quirks and some buildings that feel like they’ve been frozen in time.

Great range of diversity for students. Student support is always on the forefront. The sports centre facilities are all high quality and the student union provides great spaces that are available 24/7. The university could stand to have more on campus coffee locations.

There is a fantastic buzz in the air of the city and the beautiful campus. The course is extremely interesting and there are many extracurricular activities to suit many different people

The best aspects of my university experience consisted of the quality of teaching, the extracurricular opportunities, the possibility to be implied in a multitude of activities, societies and experiences. The professors have always been very helpful and friendly whatever the request/problem or situation would be, the campus and the facilities are outstanding. I always felt welcome and supported throughout the whole course. The only thing that could be improved would be the possibility to give more feedback for the professors that we had in the last year, and maybe to have a canteen in campus, with cooked food instead of/along with the fast food restaurants that already exist. Overall I can only say that I am very thankful to have experienced the whole university life while being able to be on track with my future.
