Student Profile(s)

Brian Glodney

I chose to study Urban Design in Newcastle because it has one of the top programmes in the UK. I enjoy meeting different people in a foreign country and adjusting to a new lifestyle, Newcastle is an easy place to do that.
I can now apply to jobs in both Britain and the States; the opportunities are endless as I will have a degree from both the US and the UK. The international experience I have had at Newcastle really helps with big firms.
