Our People

At Newcastle University, our people are at the core of our success.

Our impact and functions are supported by over 6,000 staff members across our four campuses.

Our team includes academic and professional staff working together across a variety of disciplines. We also have staff members working in a number of services and facilities including computing (NUIT), libraries, accommodation, estates, careers, and sport.
