Anshuma Sharma

MA, Media and Public Relations, Newcastle University

"Situated in gorgeous Northeast England, Newcastle is known for its natural beauty and rich heritage. The city also has a lower cost of living. You couldn’t ask for better quality teaching. The city balances community and connections. I feel quite lucky to be a part of a world famous university that feels like home."

Medicine, Newcastle University

“Studying at Newcastle University is definitely challenging and competitive, with everyone here being really smart and probably topping their respective schools in A-levels. However I believe that it is rewarding, as we get to do good work in the lives of our future patients. Newcastle has one of the best universities in the UK to study medicine, with a great programme and hospitals in the North East where we will be doing lots of attachments. “People here are really friendly. I’ve been told that people in the North East are some of the friendliest people you’d meet in the UK. Coming to study in Newcastle has given me a great first experience of living in the UK.”
