Very interesting course. The practicals associated with it are very enjoyable and allow us to put our knowledge into practice. Lectures, practicals and seminars are nicely spaced out throughout the year and the work we get assigned is a fair amount. One improvement involves the feedback received on assignments; I feel that students need further elaboration on it as it is, at times, slightly unclear. read more

Biomed is a lot of contact hours and very fast paced but you know you're getting a world class education. Support system on the course is really really good in terms of well-being and learning help. Can see a lot of effort has been put into that. Lecturers are very personable. Especially Dr Chen and Dr Stephenson-Cocks. Facilities are great. RBG could do with a bit of a refurb, the David Shaw lecture theatre is really lovely. Would really reccomend the course. I'm really enjoying it read more

I enjoy my course and find the content really interesting.

I just hate the uni. I hate the course. I liked it at first but it slowly got worse as time went by. It's like your high school all over again, but much worse because an even bigger amount of time is spent on sitting on your bum listening to a guy/girl drone on. It's a nightmare that lasts 3 years. I will say tho you will get good job prospects. The careers service is excellent. And there are lots of career opportunities. It's just you'll be so depressed and stressed you might not even care by that time anyway. I hate this uni. I hate this uni. It looks so pretty. And it still is. But I hate it. Honestly the only way to like living here is if you've got a great social life. And that depends from person to person. I'm sorry Newcastle. I swear I wanted to like you. But I am not being facetious when I say everyday feels like I'm waking up in hell, ready to be punished day in and out, until my relief when I fall asleep again... read more
