11 Newcastle University 2015/16 The careers service here at Newcastle is fantastic, and has given me priceless advice. GRADUATE AMBASSADOR PROFILE: 19 I chose to study at Newcastle because it is one of the leading universities in the world for research power within my course. I am from Newcastle, which meant I could get to grips with studying and university life in a city that I was familiar with. The city is incredibly friendly (us Geordies are the best) and it just feels really safe all of the time. It s also very compact, so everything you need is pretty much in walking distance, which is great. Joel graduate ambassador Biomedical Sciences BSc (Hons) If you have a keen interest in science, Biomedical Sciences is definitely something to consider. It has a lot of different strands, focusing on human, animal and micro-organism biology, so you get a number of opportunities to try different things. I personally enjoyed the independence of university and my course. It was not like school in that everything was taught to you, you had to complete a lot of independent research. Studying at Newcastle has given me all of the skills that I will need to complete my goals. The careers service here at Newcastle is fantastic, and has given me priceless advice. Joel graduate ambassador Biomedical Sciences BSc (Hons)

20 Newcastle University 2015/16 During my course, I have been taught by experts in their field and have learnt from their research. STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROFILE: 37 I applied to Newcastle University for two reasons. The chemical engineering course is well respected and recognised by prospective employers and when I visited the campus I was made to feel so welcome. This made me feel like I could live away from home without being homesick and that I would settle in to student life very well. I like the versatility of the Chemical Engineering course at Newcastle as there are opportunities in a range of different fields, from oil and gas to pharmaceuticals. During my course, I have been taught by experts in their field and have learnt from their research. The department is always improving by listening to student feedback. Newcastle University also has an excellent careers service. The service has allowed me to develop my communication and interview skills by offering me one-to-one interviews with leading professionals from companies such as Proctor and Gamble. Nina student ambassador Chemical Engineering (MEng) These skills helped me to get a job working for the University as a Student Ambassador. This means I have been able to work with prospective students to let them know what a fantastic experience they can have at university! Working in a job like this has helped me develop skills such as teamwork, public speaking and organisation. These are invaluable qualities essential to any graduate job.
