First experience at Newcastle Uni
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I haven't got a lot of experience in in-person learning due to covid, but as much as I could get out of this year, I have to admit that i absolutely loved it. Teachers are very helpful and share their knowledge with passion. It's a pleasure to study there
Expensive
