Students on our Study Abroad programme are guaranteed a University room. You won’t share a bedroom at Newcastle University. All of our rooms are designed for single occupancy, with shared social and kitchen spaces.
Trips and travel
This is a unique opportunity to explore the UK and Europe. The Loyola Center organises around ten trips a year, ranging from day trips at local historical sites to weekend city breaks.
In addition to trips, we organise several social events and activities throughout the year. These events will help you build relationships with amazing people within our community.
You also have plenty of opportunities to travel independently to vibrant, unique places. Our Spring Break is a three-week-long opportunity for you to travel Europe.
Loyola Center trips and activities are included in the programme costs. Group travel, accommodation and activities are covered by the Center. You only need to budget for your free time.
