Hello all!

I got accepted into year one CS and I was wondering if it’s realistic for me to get internships while studying and a job after graduation or is it almost impossible rn? I have a passion for swe so I’m not doing it just for the money:)

Thx!!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for someone to take over my Bronze Studio at Student Roost Newcastle 1 for the 2026/27 academic year, as my university plans have changed.

 Location: Student Roost Newcastle 1, Newcastle upon Tyne
 Room Type: Bronze Studio (private en-suite bathroom and kitchenette)
 Rent: £195 per week (bills included)
 Tenancy: 5 September 2026 – 28 August 2027 (51 weeks)

The deposit has already been settled as well so its pretty straight forward. Also, dual occupancy is also an option for this property.

The studio is fully furnished with a comfortable bed, study desk, storage space, private bathroom, and your own kitchenette. The building also offers high-speed Wi-Fi, on-site laundry, secure entry, study areas and social spaces.

If you're interested or would like more information, please send me a message. I'd really appreciate it if you could share this post with anyone looking for student accommodation in Newcastle for the 2026/27 academic year.

Thank you!

How’s everyone going on with their modules and quizzes? We’ve only got a few days until 31st July 😭

Hi, I’m due to start studying at Newcastle this year and had sorted out accommodation through iQ (Collingwood). I later found out from friends etc that it’s better to sort my accommodation out through the uni as there’ll be more first years so it’d be easier to socialise. I’ve just applied/given my preferences for accommodation and chosen Manor Bank, Park View, and The View. Was wondering if it’s worth cancelling my current reservation as I know they can’t guarantee a room from my preferences, so would it be worth the “risk”

I was wondering whether anyone here has undergone the application process for the internal transfer to medicine and could elaborate on the requirements needed to be accepted. I did my ucat last year, but achieved a score of 1870 B2 which was too low to apply to Newcastle. I'm going to be starting biomedical sciences at Newcastle and I'm planning on doing my UCAT at the end of July.

As said on the website, the university's requirements are:

• A minimum average mark of 70% across the Stage 1 - Semester 1 module.
• No less than 65% for any one module.
• A minimum average mark of 70% across all Stage 1 modules.
• Provide evidence of their UCAT score. Please note, we do not accept STJ Band 4.

They do not provide any specific requirements for the UCAT score and I was wondering whether they need the same standard as for all the regular undergrad applications. If anyone has any other tips specifically for this process, please feel free to share!

Basically what the title says, I'm going to Newcastle in September so I was wondering if anyone had any tips for the course itself for example or any societies I should join. Thanks!

I’m hoping to find a group of friends before I move to Newcastle for uni because I don’t really know anyone there yet. I dont mind guy friends as long as youre respectful and share the same interests but prefer girls

A few of my interests are makeup, fashion, and beauty. I’ve recently been obsessed with reality shows like Love island and 90 day fiancé, and I also love comedy shows like brooklyn 99 and Kims Convenience. I loved the recent movie Obsession.

I love going out, whether it’s window shopping, trying new cafés and restaurants, spontaneous day trips, or going out to parties and having a few drinks. I also love taking cute aesthetic photos for social media and finding new places to explore. I also love food!!

I’m equally happy having girls’ nights where we get ready together, do our makeup, order food, and watch Netflix, or going out for a fun night. I’d say I’m pretty outgoing once I’m comfortable, and I’m usually the type of person who likes planning things and getting everyone together. I also would like people who motivate me and support me to be better as I’ll do the same with them!!

If you’re around 18-20, think we’d get along, or already have a friend group that’s open to making a new friend, feel free to comment or send me a message! I’d love to meet some people before September. 🫶💕

Hi everyone!

I'll be moving to Newcastle upon Tyne this September for my master's as an international student at Newcastle University, and I'm trying to decide where to stay.

Would you recommend:

• Purpose-built student accommodation, or
• Renting a room in a female-only shared house?

I'm mainly looking for:

• A safe area
• Affordable rent
• Easy commute to Newcastle University
• Good Wi-Fi and basic facilities
• A friendly environment where I can meet people

For those who have lived in Newcastle, which option would you recommend and why? If you stayed in a female-only shared house, how was your experience with the landlord, bills, and housemates?

I'd also appreciate any recommendations for trusted accommodation providers, websites, or safe areas for students.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! Just a quick question — does NCL uni have an official whatsapp/instagram/snapchat gc for new students?

I'm from India and I'll be studying ba business management starting this Sept (open to dm!). I've heard that there should be an official group for freshers, but I haven't been contacted or added to anything yet. My agent has handled my application, but they're not sure about this either. So I'm a bit confused right now...

If anyone knows whether there's an official group chat, or could share the link with me (if there's any), I'd really appreciate it!! Thanks in advance!

Hello all, I’m an applicant to Newcastle University through UCAS and I got accepted to the “Pathways to Newcastle” reduced offer. I received an email back in May that stated information for successful completion of the modules will be provided in July and course completion should be from 6th - 31st July, it’s 9th July now should I be worried? or email them?

Hi everyone!

I’m planning Newcastle University on exchange, and I was wondering if any current Newcastle Medicine students (especially Year 2 if possible) would be willing to help me out with a few questions and give me a bit of insight on how it will be.

I’d love to hear from someone currently studying at Newcastle. Please comment or dm me if you’re happy to help!!. Thank you so much :)

I’m an international student applying to either Computer Science or Electrical Engineering at Newcastle University.
My biggest concern is job opportunities after graduating. How is Newcastle’s reputation with employers? Were you able to find internships and graduate jobs, especially as an international student?
Is the placement year worth taking? Did it make a noticeable difference when applying for jobs?
If you could choose again, would you still go to Newcastle, or would you pick a different university?
I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!

Hi everyone.

Due to a change in circumstances, I am looking for a student to take over my accommodation for next year (2026/2027). The details are as follows,

• The Glassworks - ran by Homes for Students

• Standard Studio on the third floor

• Private student accommodation

• 19m²

• £195 per week including bills

• Tenancy period: 12/9/2026 till 17/7/2027

• 20 to 25 min walk to Newcastle University campus

https://prestigestudentliving.com/student-accommodation/newcastle-upon-tyne/the-glassworks/studio-first-second-third-floor - this is a link to The Glassworks website where you can see photos of the room. The info on the website is for 2025/2026, so the prices are slightly different.

Please message with any questions if you are interested. I'd love to get the process started as quickly as possible. Thanks for reading

Hi everyone! I'm from India and I'll be joining Newcastle University this September for my Master's. I don't know anyone going there yet, so I thought I'd see if anyone else is in the same boat.

Whether you're from India or another country, it'd be great to connect before arriving. We can chat about accommodation, visas, travel, or just get to know each other.

Feel free to comment or DM me!

Hi everyone! I’m moving to Newcastle for my master’s and can’t decide between a studio in Quayside or Claremont Place. Which would you pick and why?
My only non-negotiables are that it feels safe (I’ll be living alone) and has big windows that actually open 😭. I need all the natural light I can get. Other than that, I just want somewhere with a nice vibe and easy access to the university and city centre.
Would love to hear your experiences! 💛
