It has been an unforgettable and invaluable experience so far both academically and socially. I have mingled with many people from different backgrounds and made invaluable friendships. As for the academic aspect, I was an undergraduate at Northumbria and decided to continue my postgraduate study there so evidently I am very satisfied with the overall facilities and academic experience.

During my undergraduate study at Northumbria, the university allowed students to have the option of going away on work placements after their second year of study. This was a perfect opportunity for whoever wished to pursue this or managed to establish an internship. Also it runs optional career workshops which are rather useful especially due to the tips they provide on how to become more attractive to employers. Through the workshops you learn how to improve your CV, how to tackle psychometric tests and both the professional and personal skills necessary in the workplace. Apart from the workshops it has a careers department located at the university library where students can seek advice on a daily basis from experienced careers advisers. Not to mention through the Personal Development, Developing Global Management Competencies and Academic & Professional Development modules, students constantly develop both their interpersonal and their hard skills, skills necessary for entering the workplace.

What I like least is that certain lecturers aren't as enthusiastic with their teaching as others and that has a negative impact when delivering a certain subject. It results in lost interest and disengagement with the students. What I like the most is that if its a subject I rather enjoy and the lecturer is passionate about the subject it stimulates me to learn more about the specific topic. Also when a lecturer actually spends the time to answer any questions you may have after the lecture or during the seminar that is rather appreciated.

It's a well established organisation and engages with students through different services, events etc. I don't get involved because I do not have the time due to my studying. Otherwise I would engage more.

I would say rather good. There are many study spaces which include silent study spaces and group study spaces. Apart from that anywhere you go on campus you will find available computers to access. Also the university's library includes an abundance of books both online and printed as well as journals which are all pivotal when studying or researching of course.

Newcastle is a buzzing city! There is something for everyone from cafes and restaurants to bars, clubs, cinemas, gyms and many more. Having two main universities and many other colleges it is classed as a student city that comes alive especially at night with the student parties. Apart from that it is a beautiful city and a walk down the Quayside will certainly impress you.

Through the Student Union you get the chance to join one of many societies and get involved in volunteering projects. You can choose from Karting and Harry Potter Society to Salsa and Pole Dancing . You even have the chance to set up your own. I am involved in the Greek and Cypriot Society which means I get to attend Greek nights and see my friends from back home (Cyprus).

I am rather satisfied. The university has a Student Support and Wellbeing centre where you can seek help or advice concerning both financial issues and health matters. I needed to seek advice about my epilepsy and the staff their were very helpful and supportive. As for tutors they are always accessible when needed either in person or through emails. If you have any queries and they are unable to attend to you in person, they will always reply to you via email.

This I am unsure of as I have not engaged with any volunteering projects.
