Before you arrive
We are delighted that you are preparing to join us here in Newcastle - and we're certain you have made the right choice!
When you receive your offer of a place at Newcastle, we will send you a copy of our International Student Handbook. This tells you everything you need to know before you leave your country and important information for when you arrive.
Don’t forget that if you have family or friends who have been to the UK or Newcastle itself, they should also be able to help with advice – make sure you take advantage of their experiences!
Another great source of information is your nearest British Council office, which may offer briefing sessions for students about to leave for the UK. You can also download the British Council pre-departure guide (PDF: 1.1MB).
If you still have any questions - please don’t hesitate to contact us.
We do regularly visit countries from around the world and conduct our own pre-departure sessions. You can contact us to see if we are visiting your country soon and book your place on one of our sessions.
We look forward to welcoming you to Newcastle University when you arrive!
