The best University in the world.
Amazing, the student help is so great having the time of my life fr
Great studying environment with even greater professors.
Not much clubs or activities for PG students. Could improve PG students university experience a little more. The library and its services are just top notch. Classes and support from the staff is also commendable.
The University is very good appreciate the Tutors they support in teaching but when it comes to socialising with friends kinda too much Racism
It’s a vibrant school in the sunny days. I think there is decent student activities but lacks open day.
Great experience so far at the uni
As an international student, I’ve had a great experience at Newcastle University Business School. The lecturers are supportive, the teaching is practical, and the campus feels welcoming. The Business School building is modern, and the city is safe, affordable, and very student-friendly. Highly recommended!

I love the lectures and often use the facilities around campus including the gym regularly which is very well equipped and a lovely environment. I’m part of the trampoline club which has lots of great equipment too and is super friendly and chill. The students union provides free health products that are helpful and the campus is beautiful and clean.
amazing uni, city is kind of small but it’s okay
Everything has been very enjoyable and is going really well. I haven’t been able to fully take advantage of every feature the school offers yet, but everyone is very helpful and kind, so I don’t think there will be any problems. I definitely believe that I am receiving an educational experience that is helpful and instructive in many ways.
The university offers a good learning environment with modern facilities and a supportive community, though like social activities for international students, it has areas that could be improved cause international students will suffer more social loneliness more
Great facilities and support available
Its good, just wish wifi was better than what it is rn. Other than that it is lovely
Awesome. Like people, stuff, facilities. Feels like at home.
An outstanding institution that blends historic prestige with modern innovation. The Helix facilities are impressive, and the Career Service provides excellent support for graduates. It is a welcoming environment that fosters both academic growth and personal development.
Super easy to get to classes from different buildings. Staff and students are very friendly and super nice
The furniture in the room was damaged, but it was repaired quickly after I reported it
The school is fantastic. Everything is great
As an international MSc Finance student, my experience at Newcastle University has been genuinely fulfilling. The campus feels safe and student-friendly, and the support here has honestly surprised me in the best way. Whenever I needed help — whether it was about modules, attendance, or even personal tutoring — someone always responded quickly and made things easier. The facilities are modern, and the library has become my second home (I practically live in the quiet study rooms). The only small challenge is that during peak deadlines it gets packed, but that’s kind of expected. Overall, the environment feels warm, diverse, and very community-driven. Coming from India, I worried about settling in — but the university made the transition much smoother than I imagined.
Good supervision and staff go
Great university to be studying at
I am a third year student at newcastle university and also work at mcdonalds to pay for all of my needs, i find it difficult but also rewarding as it gives me the responsibilities that i need
Overall good experience would definitely recommend
Really love the campus, the events and the societies that made me feel more than welcome :)
I love the experience here , gaining new skills everyday
Of course, it's not always perfect—sometimes the Wi-Fi can be slow in the evenings, and you have to be proactive about cleaning up after yourself in the shared spaces. But these are minor issues in the grand scheme of things.
I am having a great experience at the university.
Great Uni, really nice professors, great clubs and societies to be part of.
Nowhere else I would rather study. Great university.
Excellent university, everyone is very welcoming, and they always make sure that you have everything you need to settle in. Very easy to ask for help, and the classes seem wonderful too.
It has been an amazing experience so far, the faculty, the resources, the campus, the student union.
I love the university as a whole. the facilities and the staff is are very helpful. overall i love the experience the univeristy is giving me.

the outdoor activities have decreased recently
The university is really beautiful and peaceful
It is way too much good than my expectations
The campus and accommodation both are really amazing I love the experience
Ok it’s not really anything spexial
3 weeks since I started my program in BEng International Year One in Mechanical Engineering. Good teachers and good centralised canvas so, which is great for self study to stay on top of the regular classes.
It's so good I came back for PGR and would love to work here in the future.
Amazing, literally couldn't fault NCL as a uni - the only issue I have is that, in some buildings, the wifi is sometimes a little unstable. This is why it only receives a 4/5 on my rating.
Generally has good and cozy study spaces.
A friendly place, lovely campus, lectures vary depending on the faculty - some engaging some not.
The campus is really lovely and kept up well- each building is unique and there are plenty of study spaces.
Good University. Love my course
I have enjoyed my time at Newcastle, I have felt supported academically and socially.
Overall, I have had a great experience with Newcastle University. There could be room for improvement in some areas; however, over the year, I have noticed gradual improvements and positive changes in various facilities.

Very good uni with good courses and soaces
Nice place and good city to be in
I love studying here as an international student I feel the faculty and fellow students are so friendly and do not make you feel any less. Everything is so amazing here. The most important thing is their infrastructure has a great touch of its heritage.
WiFi is unreliable and hard to connect to, societies are often very niche
Amazing university with excellent teaching, supportive staff, and a vibrant student community. The campus is beautiful and well-equipped, and the city itself is welcoming and full of opportunities. Couldn’t recommend Newcastle University enough!
The uni and teachers are good.
Great friendly university, has great facilities that are accommodating for everyone. Societies are welcoming and very fun.
Good experience to study in NCL
Overall, the living experience is okay.
Best experience I could ever have
Nice university i loved it a lot and
The university offers a strong environment for postgraduate studies, but it’s important to be clear about the field you’re choosing. I pursued an MSc in Finance, and in my experience, it has been extremely challenging, not only due to the academic content but also because of the university’s rigid tools, systems, and strict regulations. These rules are strictly enforced, leaving little room for flexibility or adjustment.
Amazing university and good career support, highly recommend it for masters.
I love this uni, great people great place
Newcastle United has great facilities and programs on offer. Faculty and students are super helpful and friendly. Combined with an amazing city life, Newcastle University is a choice you won’t regret.
good university kind professor
Excellent experience. Friendly teaching
I loved every minute of being here!!
Newcastle University offers a compelling mix of beautiful, cutting‑edge facilities, high-calibre academics, and a friendly, dynamic student experience in a vibrant city. It’s especially appealing if you enjoy active social life, strong student communities, and quality research-led teaching. Just be aware of occasional changes to course offerings and the current budget-related challenges.
My overall experience at Newcastle University Business School has been very positive. The university offers excellent infrastructure, with well-equipped facilities that support both academic and extracurricular activities. One of the highlights of my time here has been the supportive and approachable staff. Whether it’s academic guidance or general assistance, the support teams are always ready to help. Beyond the classroom, the university hosts a wide range of events throughout the year. These not only enrich the student experience but also provide valuable exposure to practical aspects of life and career development. Such initiatives have helped me grow professionally and expand my network.
Some other country students didn’t see the email very often,so many students will miss some nice activities
I had the pleasure of staying at Oxford House during my time as a student, and I can confidently say it was one of the best accommodation experiences I’ve had. One of the standout features of Oxford House is the amazing staff – especially Claudia. She was always approachable, kind, and incredibly helpful. Whether it was handling a maintenance request, answering questions, or just being a friendly face around the building, Claudia went above and beyond to make everyone feel supported and welcome. Her genuine care and professionalism really made a difference during my stay.
Newcastle University has a great mix of quality teaching and a fun student life. The campus is right in the city, so everything’s easy to get to. Lecturers are mostly supportive, and there are loads of societies and events to get involved in, whether you’re into sports, culture, or just meeting new people. It’s a good place to balance studying with social life, and the city itself has a really welcoming vibe.
Winky and Yaoli were the most reassuring presence in the student accommodation. They treated every student with kindness and care, handling everything from small tasks to urgent issues with dedication. To me, they were more than staff – they were like friends and guardians. I sincerely thank them and wish them happiness and success in everything ahead!
Yaoli and Winky are so enthusiastic, whenever I have any questions, they always solve them actively.
Great place to study. Full of resources
当然可以,以下是一篇约200字的中英文好评,表达对学生公寓接待处两位员工的感谢: ⸻ 在我在学生公寓居住期间,Winky 和 Yaoli 两位前台工作人员给予了我无微不至的帮助和支持。无论是邮件的接收、维修问题的反馈,还是日常生活中的各种疑问,她们总是耐心、专业且高效地为我解答。每次走进Reception,她们都以亲切的笑容迎接我,让人感到安心与温暖。特别是在我搬入和搬出期间,她们提供了许多实用的建议并协助我顺利完成了各项流程。我由衷感谢她们的辛勤工作与细致服务,她们的存在让整个公寓充满了温度与归属感。衷心祝愿她们今后一切顺利,工作愉快! ⸻ During my stay at the student accommodation, I received tremendous help and support from the receptionists, Winky and Yaoli. Whether it was collecting parcels, reporting maintenance issues, or answering daily questions, they always responded with patience, professionalism, and efficiency. Every time I walked into Reception, I was greeted with a warm smile that made me feel truly welcomed. Especially during my move-in and move-out, their helpful advice and assistance ensured a smooth experience. I sincerely appreciate their hard work and thoughtful service — they bring warmth and a true sense of home to this residence. Wishing them all the best in the future!
I would like to thank LU at the reception for her excellent service. She is always friendly, patient, and helpful whenever I need assistance. Her warm attitude truly makes a difference and creates a welcoming atmosphere in the building.
Ms. Lu is an exceptional receptionist in our dormitory. She is always friendly, professional, and very helpful. Whether it’s checking in packages, handling maintenance requests, or answering our questions, she always does it with a warm smile and great efficiency. Her presence makes our living environment more comfortable and welcoming. We truly appreciate her hard work and kindness!
The professors are all very good and there are abundant learning resources. However, the failure rate is even higher than that of the top 100 universities in QS. Most students will fail several courses. Moreover, there are three offline exams in International Business Management, which are just handwritten papers. There is absolutely no need for this. For students whose native language is not English, the pressure is extremely high and their learning mindset is very frustrated.
I love Newcastle uni, sometimes wifi doesn’t work but other than that, i couldn’t fault it
An average university that somehow belongs in the Russell Group. A lot of strikes (which I support the cause of) and an awful lack of response to these strikes from the higher ups.
Having a great university experience so far 🕺
Great university, have studied here for all of my degrees. Lots of facilities and workshops to help develop skills and career. Wifi can be connected across campus, and various different study areas to suit different needs. Good food options on campus, and overall really enjoyable experience.
Campus is a nice environment that feels appealing to study in. Buildings are easily accessible and there are many study spaces for all preferences. Straightforward to contact staff and ask questions. Platforms are ok to navigate and WiFi can be connected to across campus.
this place is flipping awesome
Had an amazing flat and made friends for life
Pretty good overall! lots of opportunities
