NCL Europe
A new hub celebrating and furthering our work on, in and with Europe
A new European hub
NCL Europe acts as a focal point for European activity, especially in the following areas:
- research and funding
- teaching, mobility and student recruitment
- regional connectivity, policy and influence
We're undertaking some excellent Europe-related research, teaching and engagement work here.
A forthcoming programme of events and online engagement will showcase this work.

Case studies
The case studies highlighted represent only a small example of the significant European work we're proud to undertake.
Newcastle and Europe
Newcastle University is proud of its continuing identity as a European institution. Our researchers have a wealth of European expertise in:
- histories
- cultures
- languages
- landscapes
- politics
- heritages
We are experts in critical thinking about the past, present and future of Europe.
We study Europe as a global, cultural and geopolitical region. We focus on our responsibilities and contributions to global policy and society. Newcastle University's knowledge of European scholarships, debates and policymaking sets us apart.
Diverse learning experience
We are home to talented scholars and students from a wide range of European backgrounds. They contribute fresh ideas and diversity to our classrooms, and globalise the experience of our UK students.
We also partner with European universities, companies and non-profits. These partnerships support research collaboration, staff and student mobility, and joint teaching opportunities.
Europe Festival 2021
Newcastle University is proud of its strong European heritage and its continued links with Europe. Our research findings have an impact on UK and European citizens.
European students and staff bring diversity to our classrooms and campus.
Europe Festival 2021 launches in autumn to celebrate our past and existing European work. Festival events will include lectures, training events and language taster sessions.
The festival will boost future opportunities for networking, collaboration and funding.
