Law, Year 2
My accommodation was a quiet mostly post-grad one, but my flat was amazing! Good quality rooms and close to campus. All the other accommodations I visited were really nice too and none were too far out. There are only 2/3 which people see as being lower quality
Library’s are really good and close to the city centre. The law school is small with a tiny lecture theatre (but big enough for the course) and it is right next to the main library. The sports centre is well equipped but expensive for what it is. Only been to the SU bar in freshers but it was nice
They spread the modules out well and pair together well. The lectures are good, having some 2 and some 1 hour lectures, these suit the modules well and help with accessing the content. Have loads of modules to choose from in third year, a good spread of topics.
The city is amazing! Not too small so can walk everywhere but the metro is so convenient also. Nightlife is good as everything is quite close together and not too expensive. The city centre has nearly all of the shops you could want but the metro centre is close enough if you can’t find what you need
To remember first year might not count but if you are wanting to go into law that you still need to work hard as you have to start applying for things in second year. So all employers have to go on are your first year results. Seminars are so helpful and can use them as a revision tool almost. Law is hard but rewarding and is interesting a lot of the time. Make sure to spend plenty of time on coursework, it pays off in the end.

Newcastle uni review
Medicine, Year 2
Their latest accommodation, Park View Student Village, is amazing! Lots of people doing different subjects and from different countries and parts of the UK, all living in one area made for an interesting experience. Friends are a mere 2 min walk away and it is also very close to the Medical school.
The libraries are amazing, cosy and very student-friendly. The classrooms are spacious although some lack power outlets which is a pity. The SU bar is simply amazing and with food outlets like subway, domino’s and the latest SHIJO at the SU, student life at Newcastle is simply convenient!
The course structure is amazing and the spiral curriculum enriches one’s knowledge through a step by step process. There’s very early clinical experience and patient contact. Unlike other universities, Newcastle although emphasises on communication skills and ethics early on.
The night life is the highlight of Newcastle: from a chilled pub night at spoons or a busy (and sweaty) night out at soho, NCL offers it all! Even during the day there’s so much the city offers. A walk to the quayside is more than just therapeutic, it also gives the opportunity for a plethora of instagram worthy pictures to be taken.
If you miss a lecture they’re all available online on recap. Seminars are compulsory so you should try your best to attend them since professionalism is monitored from early on and accumulation of PIN points raises concerns. Importance of attire is taught early on too during clinical skills sessions. There’s a dissecting room for learning anatomy on cadavers and all these rooms can be booked for personal use in addition to the timetabled sessions.
