Newcastle University

Welcome to Newcastle! The cosmopolitan capital of North East England, ranked no 1 in the UK for student experience.

Fun, friendly and effortlessly cool, we've gained a deserved reputation as one of the UK's favourite student cities. 

Known for our warm Geordie welcome, the city attracts around 50,000 students each year. In fact, one in six people in Newcastle is a student, helping create the city's energetic social scene and legendary nightlife. 

We also have world-class arts, music, shopping and sport right in the city centre. And we're just 25 minutes' from the beach via Metro, Newcastle's version of the Tube.

Newcastle is a big city in a small space, offering all the excitement of a modern metropolis combined with small-town friendliness.

Whether you're a party animal or a culture vulture, a shopaholic or a book worm, a sports nut or a social butterfly, there's something here for everyone.
