Care Leavers
We are committed to supporting students who are care leavers.
As well as receiving ongoing support while studying at Newcastle, the University can provide advice and guidance before you apply on all topics relating to higher education.
Support can include:
- appointments to discuss the support options available to you before you apply or accept an offer
- access to the range of support services offered by the University
- someone to speak to if there is anything you are unsure about
- a visit to University accommodation and/or a campus tour of the University
- meeting a current University student
Quality Mark awarded
The University was awarded the Quality Mark by the Frank Buttle Trust in April 2008.
The Mark demonstrates that the University is aware of the challenges care leavers face when considering university. It shows that we have systems in place to support students during the application process and their studies.
