MSc Advanced Computer Science - Batch of 2025

Newcastle University has solid engineering programs.

Tips: Before you join this college, do your research on the university and the city where you'll be studying. Find out about the job opportunities, and connect with the college alumni on LinkedIn. Start applying for part-time and full-time graduate or postgraduate roles as soon as possible.

Likes (Public transportation): There is good connectivity between buses and metro throughout the city and the fares are reasonable. If you want to get somewhere faster, you can always hail a cab. If you live close to the university or city centre, you can easily walk to many places. I have never faced any issues with travelling so far.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are hard to come by because there are a lot of students from Newcastle University and Northumbria University applying for the same jobs. To get a job, you need to be smart and have good interpersonal skills. It is also a good idea to start applying for jobs as soon as you settle into your accommodation.

The university is a great value for money with such talented and knowledgeable faculty.

Tips: I came from India, and I found the cultural differences to be quite drastic. The education system here is very different from India. However, I did receive the standard 2000 scholarship from Newcastle University. I found the people here to be very chill and friendly. I would advise new students to not be afraid to ask questions, as there are always people willing to help. The professors are extremely friendly and the faculty is very good. They will motivate you to succeed in your studies.

Likes (Value for money): The professors for my modules are very good. They are friendly and provide all the necessary information if a student has doubts. The fee for my course is definitely justified because the environment of study that this university provides for us is outstanding. Our lectures are mostly in Urban Sciences, Fredrick Douglass & Herschel Building. Urban Sciences Building is 10/10, the Fredrick Douglass Building is 8/10, and the Herschel Building is 7/10. Other than that, the university ambience is quite peaceful, and the staff is very welcoming.

Dislikes (Indian Food): As a student, you don't have much time to cook for yourself. Eating outside will cost you. Because of this, you will be more inclined towards eating good food less frequently. From my experience, I still haven't found any good and affordable place to get Indian food. I have tried 'Dhabe Wale's Aloo Paratha but it wasn't that good. It cost me around 6 pounds with Lassi.

An enriching and transformative academic experience.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should understand the course structure, cost of living, campus life and local weather. Transitioning here involved adjusting to a research-oriented academic system, multicultural social norms, and independent living, which was enriching but required effort. I availed a merit-based scholarship, which eased financial pressure. Overall, I'm highly satisfied with the university's supportive faculty, relevant coursework, and the country's safe, welcoming environment, making this a transformative experience.

Likes (Safety): The campus and surrounding areas feel secure, with robust measures in place. The university provides a safe environment for students, and the city overall has a welcoming atmosphere for international students, which significantly enhances the sense of safety. Facilities provided are Emergency call stations, safe transport services, counselling and support services and much more. The city has a friendly local community that makes international students feel welcome. People are generally approachable and helpful.

Dislikes (Part time work): While part-time work opportunities are available, they can be competitive and vary in accessibility depending on the campus and location. The work experience gained is valuable, but balancing it with academics can sometimes be challenging. On-campus jobs are relatively common and include roles such as library assistants, research assistants etc. However, the availability of these roles depends on the size and resources.

Microelectronics in Newcastle is good with lots of facilities.

Tips: Newcastle is best for M.Sc in microelectronics. The university provides lots of support and exercises for the job interviews. The teaching quality is so good and you will feel like you are studying exactly what you want. Few subjects only have assignments while some have exams.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculties are very nice and teaching is so good. Professors help us with every thing and they try to answer all our questions. One can ask professors to join research assistant position. One can also approach them for publication and PhD opportunity. They also provide recorded classes.

Dislikes (Internships): Internships in microelectronics course are very less. Internship depends on the course that one chooses. This is as per my knowledge. Internships are difficult to find. If one gets an internship then it becomes a heavy load to manage. The university provides career services wherein one can find jobs and internships.
