Newcastle University campus is right in the
heart of the city centre, so you’re never far from all that the city
has to offer. The city is very compact, so it’s easy to get around,
and you won’t have to travel far to lectures from our centrally
located accommodation.
Reason 2...
Our student social life is top-rated.* From
legendary nightlife, to world-class arts, music and sport, and
a multitude of shopping and dining options, Newcastle has it all!

Newcastle is considered one of the friendliest cities in the UK and why
we’re ranked in the top five for quality of student life.**

Reason 4...
Student rents and cost of living are lower
than average, saving you more money to spend on Newcastle’s
many attractions.
Reason 5...
Newcastle is a beautiful city to live in, with
Georgian buildings standing alongside iconic, modern architecture,
plenty of green spaces (including two parks right next to the
University), and the coast and countryside on your doorstep.
