Our Global Community
Newcastle University has a strong global community. We work together ethically with our partners to deliver education, experiences and research that positively impact the world in which we live.
A values-led global university
At Newcastle University, we embrace our role as a global institution, reflecting on our place in the world: past, present, and future.
We foster openness and a sense of care, guided by our core values:
- social and environmental justice
- academic freedom
- equality, diversity, and inclusion
A hub for international engagement
Our university serves as a hub for global engagement through teaching, learning, research, our campuses and the student experience.
We support our students’ global mobility and employability. We also provide opportunities to be part of the international workforce.
Being a global university means we think, feel, and act globally. We recognize and nurture our connections to global communities, places, and institutions. By working ethically in partnerships we achieve more together than we could alone.
Our global strategy further outlines our ambitions and commitments in this area.
