Complimentary Social and Cultural Programme
Explore the North East's treasured sights with the Study Abroad team
Make the most of your time in Newcastle
Newcastle University invite all fee-paying Study Abroad students to take part in a complimentary social and cultural programme. This programme will help you make the most of your semester or year in England.
Local experts and guides will lead us on a tour of North East England's treasured sites, during a series of day trips and evening events.
This social programme enables you to expand your cultural horizons, forge important friendships and create memories that will last a lifetime. All of these events are free to attend. We encourage you to sign up to as many events as you wish.
