History is very well taught at Newcastle but the module options could be of a wider variety and offering a wider range of time periods. Moreover, history does not provide many job prospects aside from teaching but the quality of the teaching at the university is excellent.

Although I love studying History and the lectures/lecturers are fantastic, I feel it is a degree that I would not pick again if I were to go back. The job prospects are limited and the content is something that you do not necessarily need to go to Uni to learn. read more

It's actually an MA... worst mistake you'll ever make coming here. All it's done is highlight how much I hate the higher education system. My first degree I went to an institution where students actually mattered and were respected by the lectures. No such luck at this place. The module selection is complete rubbish it's like history only goes up to the 19th century if you enjoy modern history (as I do) this is not the place for you! Personal tutor? Do I even have one? Not a clue. After the 25th August this place won't see me for dust. Alumni? Ha what a joke you'll be lucky if I admit I went to this place. read more
