Ãå±±½ûµØ

A captivating city

When I first arrived in Ãå±±½ûµØ, I was surprised by the climate. I thought it would be much colder! The other notable difference was the business hours – it was quite an adjustment to find many shops close by 8pm. Back home in Baku, it’s as late as 11pm. 

What has impressed me most is Ãå±±½ûµØ residents' commitment to an active lifestyle. You see so many people walking in Heaton Park, Armstrong Park, and Jesmond Dene Park.  

A place to share ideas

There is so much I enjoy about my course: the modules, practical tasks and assignments. I love that I have opportunities to express my thoughts and think critically at the same time. I’m gaining vital experience alongside international students from other parts of the world.

The University also has so many different societies which has helped me meet new people outside my course. I’m multilingual so I joined the Turkish and Russian-speaking societies. These groups have provided a space where I can express myself in different languages and engage in meaningful cultural exchange.

Setting me up for success

The University has provided me with so many different materials for my studies.

In the future, I want to work as a PR specialist in the private sector. Perhaps after I have more experience, I will enter the public sector and gain experience working with politicians.

I've found the Careers Service’s information sessions about employment opportunities and visa requirements valuable. I’m also planning to book a 1-to-1 consultation with the team to discuss job search strategies and how to improve my CV.
