I think the grade given for my design is not always fair. And my design tutor I had for the last semester was a previous master student in Newcastle Uni and only just start her career. I really hope there are more professional teachers,who works for the architecture industry for years,to teach me,though most of.them are,but some of the tutors allocated to me was not always satisfying. read more

I have thoroughly enjoyed my course so far! The personal tutors are incredible support for when you don’t understand the projects and need help. The building’s facilities including the computer room (where you have free printing credits to last they whole year), the workshop (where you can get a lot of help on modelling) and the free starter packs you get at the start of year one are amazing :) read more

Since it is architecture, there are less tutoring and lecturing and more self studies. But the teachers are really supportive if you ask for advices. read more
