Why did you choose the course?

I wanted to research deeply into my interested domain.

What appealed to you about Northumbria and studying in Newcastle?

It has the course that I’m interested in.

What are the best things about Newcastle for students?

Good place study and have fun.

Favourite thing about University?

It has a lot of opportunities for you to study, to gain experience, to make friends, to participate in different societies and, more importantly, to understand what you are good at and what you want to achieve in your future.

Favourite thing about Newcastle?

It’s a very nice place to live. The city centre is very energetic but the area around campus and the accommodation is completely safe and sound. I stay in the library until midnight but so far I have no problem going home that late. One more thing, Newcastle is really cheap to settle down.

What did you like most about the course?

I loved the residential weekend where I could make lots of friends from different courses. In particular, I am guided to be aware of my strengths and weaknesses and to apply those in interesting activities.

What are you doing now?

I will graduate this December. I wish that I can have more time at Uiversity to learn and to contribute more.

How did your undergraduate degree prepare you for your current post?

It gave me the foundation of the industry I study in. It especially introduced all the vital terminology and abbreviations of the field that affected my understanding of the lectures I attended in postgraduate stage.

Do you have any advice for anyone applying for the course/Uni in general?

Study more in your free time because you can’t understand and know enough information via lecturers.Get ready to sponsor your study. You can work part-time but it is still better that you can concentrate 100% on studying only.
