Our city
Just a short walk from
Newcastle University
campus is one of the
most beautiful, friendly
and lively cities in the
UK. We boast world-class
arts, music, shopping
and sport right in the
city centre and we’re just
25 minutes from both the
beach and countryside.
It’s no wonder then
that we are one of the
UK’s favourite cities.
Friendly,
multicultural
and safe
With one in six people in Newcastle
a student you’ll be in familiar
company from the start, so you’ll
feel at home straightaway. The locals
are also a welcoming bunch, with
a reputation for being one of the
friendliest cities in the UK. It’s no
wonder then that our students feel
safe on campus with a satisfaction
rating of 93% for safety (International
Student Barometer survey,
Autumn 2015).
Your £ goes further
Student rents and the cost of living
are amongst the lowest in the UK,
saving you money and providing
more opportunities to spend on
Newcastle’s many attractions.
Compact
Newcastle has the feel of a big city
in a compact space, so you’re never
far from what’s going on. It’s easy to
get around and most places within
the city are just a short walk from
the campus so you get the best of
both worlds. For a change of scene,
you can even hop on the Metro
rapid transport rail system and take
a trip to the coast in just 25 minutes.
Great transport links
Along with a mainline train station
with fast links to other UK cities,
Newcastle also has an international
airport and ferry terminal, meaning
the city is well connected to the
rest of the UK, Europe and beyond.
This makes getting home for the
holidays or using the city as a base
to explore further afield really easy.
Getting around the city is simple
too, with a comprehensive bus and
cycle network and Metro rail system
connecting all areas of the city
and region.
