    • 8/10- although challenging this might be due to me not studying psychology at a level (I didn't have the opportunity to) it is a Russel Group university and the quality of teaching is pretty great apart from some lectures that I struggle to understand

    • satisfactory but more challenging than expected in terms of independent learning and content, they won't help us with assignments in first year so we can't ask for help on certain tasks which is hard

    • The uni life in Newcastle is just amazing. There’s always so much to do and always a night out to enjoy if you want to! The Wednesday night sports socials are so much fun. Newcastle as a city in the day is so lovely there’s so many fun things to occupy your time with in such a close proximity and the Quay Side is beautiful

    • Course load is difficult, a lot of work outside of lectures is needed. Lecturers could be better, quite a few just read off of the slides, altho a few are exceptionally good at explaining difficult concepts. Multiple guest lecturers who are specialists in their respective fields already, only 4 months in and do genuinely feel like ive learnt a lot and am achieveing something

    • Overall great city, great nightlife and social life. Accomodation is very nice, wifi is an issue at accomodations, but no issues while in uni buildings.
