Marine Biology - BSc (Hons)
Studying at Newcastle University feels like stepping into a novel. When the weather is nice, walking through the old campus provides such a beautiful backdrop to academic life. The staff is committed, well-educated, and always willing to listen and help students progress. The support teams do a particularly wonderful job of meeting disability needs and assisting with issues such as visas. The student union has a wide range of clubs and societies, and while community activities could be improved, they do a wonderful job with making sure theres a space for everyone.

Facilities are good but some buildings need improvement and are extremely confusing to navigate (signs aren’t great sometimes). Sports centre is AMAZING but the gym is small considering how many people use it and it’s a shame to pay £200 and have to wait ages to use equipment because it’s always busy. They have many events for students and everyone is friendly and happy to be here. Sports should be more accessible in terms of price and there should be more non-league sports (e.g. netball for fun not competing)

Integrated campus with city centre keeps the student feel whilst also giving you easy access to town, so fun and useful! Amazing city, nightlife and university facilities are top notch. Student union isn’t as good as some other universities but it’s not really a problem because of the amazing city.
