How we're keeping you safe in COVID-19
We've made changes on campus to ensure that you are safe when travelling around the University.
Find out more about the changes we've made on campus.
We offer a free Meet and Greet service for our international students. We'll welcome you at Newcastle International Airport and ensure your journey to the campus is safe. We're also creating a quarantine safety corridor between the airport and your accommodation.
If you need to go into quarantine when you arrive, we will provide you with a support package. You'll also have a buddy to support you remotely through the quarantine period.
