“Agri business management”
dean k
United Kingdom, Undergraduate
Business Studies, 2021
OverallI am interested in all of the business parts of the course eg. Economics, accounting and marketing however the agri-business side of things is very boring.
Teaching is overall satisfactory however would like to see more involvement.

“Great student experience”
Akaash R
United Kingdom, Graduate
Financial Management, 2017
Overall
My course was Quantitative Finance and Risk Management which was more of the technical side of finance. Perfect for those with very strong numerical abilities wanting to apply these skills into the financial industry. The course was well taught with a variety of resources available for students such as recapped lectures, online notes and further reading material. The lecturers were very approachable and assist as much as they are allowed to.
The careers service is not bad, there are a lot of services offered to help students practice application processes such as mock interviews and assessment centres. They also review CVs and application answers well.
The student life is incredible, extremely cheap in Newcastle - can often find housing for £70 a week and the night-life is vibrant and extremely fun. Allows you to have a great balance between studying.

Personal spending habits
Food is cheaper in England than in Spain, at least in supermarkets, and I used to buy fast food. Here in Spain I have more time to cook and I spend more money.
Housing is more expensive in England than in Spain but I had more facilities than here.
And I spent more money on travel because I tried to visit a lot of interesting places.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
You can meet more people and be in an international environment. And I also think that you can learn more English because I was living with 5 English people.
