The fact that Newcastle University has an excellent reputation was a big appeal to me when deciding where to study my Foundation programme. The teaching methods at INTO really motivate me to learn. The teachers are friendly and humorous and I really enjoy the practical lessons in the laboratories as it is both a great way to learn and an opportunity that we do not have in my home country.
