What our current undergraduates say:

"Compared to other universities everything is so close to hand and there is so much help available you couldn't go wrong if you tried!" Malcolm Whitelock-Wainwright (Medical Microbiology and Immunology)

"I chose to come to Newcastle because of the immense variety it offers students, not only as a University but as a town. As well as being an academic I love sport and couldn't live without it. Newcastle is proud to be a well respected academic University with the top medical school ratings in the country but also ranks in the top ten as a sporting University"
Damilola Erinle (Human Genetics)

I think Newcastle is one of the most fun cities around and I've been to a few…..There is always a lot to do even for the most board individual". Mark Ellis (Medical Microbiology)

"Newcastle is a vibrant city, with pubs, bars and clubs to suit all tastes. The University has a wide range of societies and sports to participate in and the lecturers are all friendly and approachable" Vanessa Greaves (Biochemistry)

The University is well organised, and an immediate surrogate-family for its students. It provides a warm welcome and a solid foundation on which to base our learning. Staff and students are approachable which creates a relaxed but focused, dynamic, interactive study environment where we all learn from each other, and that is always a good thing"
