Chose Newcastle

' It was the only one offered on exchange in Australia! I liked the location, near to Sydney, and the size of the city. It is big enough to have everything in it, but not too big to get lost in or lose its sense of community.'

The Best Things

' I like the way it replaces a year of my degree so it is not a gap year. The subjects offered are very diverse and I've learnt a lot about Australian culture and history through the subjects I've chosen. Good community spirit. '

Future Studies and Career

' I've had the opportunity of learning about a different culture which has not only made me more open-minded, but given me an appreciation for my own career in today's globalised society. '

Newcastle Life

' I love the people, they are so friendly, welcoming and down to earth, and I enjoy the weather which makes a change from home! '

Are you happy with the support?

' Yes, I really feel the International Office look after you with trips and events. In the colleges on campus, the staff all know your name and are so friendly and helpful, which all adds to make your experience away from home easier and more pleasant. '

My Advice

' Definitely come and study here! It is such a life-changing experience to get out of your own country and culture, which has benefits both personally and professionally. '
