What was the best thing about your degree program?
The content of the degree is fascinating and I enjoy working with the staff.

How did you find the support and service of staff at the University?
I cannot fault any of the Academic staff I have worked with and the Administrative staff are always ready and willing to assist whenever asked.

Where are you currently working and what are you currently doing? How has your Communication degree helped you in your professional life?
The degree is not currently applicable to my work as I work in a family business.

What advice would you give to future students considering studying Communication at Newcastle?
Doing post-graduate study is very satisfying. The one-on-one support from an academic as well as all the other support from the School is wonderful.
