OUR CITY
Welcome to Newcastle, a welcoming and
diverse city rated number one place in the
world to visit in 2018*.
We’re a community
Newcastle is well known for being a welcoming and
safe student city. With one in six people in Newcastle a
student, it's easy to see why we were ranked 4th in the
UK for social life**.
We’re full of surprises
Our campus is at the heart of our cosmopolitan city,
surrounded by history, arts, sport, shopping, places to
eat, and things to do. From having lunch on the iconic
quayside or an afternoon picnic in Leazes Park, to
exploring the ancient Newcastle Castle or taking a
surfing lesson at the beach – life here takes you places.
We’re a cultural capital
Newcastle is a hub for cultural venues, and you’ll find a
music venue, museum, sports arena, art gallery, cinema,
or theatre around almost every corner. North East
England’s largest producing theatre company, Northern
Stage, is next door to our Newcastle University Students'
Union (NUSU) on campus. Grey's Monument Quayside
We’re affordable
Rated in the top 20 in the UK's most affordable towns
and cities***, low student rents and cost of living means
your money stretches further here. Lots of the city’s
restaurants, bars, and shops offer student-friendly deals,
and our Metro rail service means you won’t need a car to
reach the North East’s hidden gems.
We’re a hub for exploring
By plane, train, or car, we’re well connected to cities
across the UK, and London is less than three hours away
by rail. Newcastle International Airport has regular flights
to over 80 international destinations including
Amsterdam, Paris, New York, and Dubai. Alternatively, if
you're in the mood for a local day out, we're only minutes
from unspoilt countryside and award-winning beaches.
