Welcome to
Newcastle upon Tyne

The place voted the UK’s number
one city by students!

Northumbria University boasts nearly 5,000 bedrooms within its various
residential schemes from en suite, top-of-the-range accommodation to
traditional student housing – so there’s a wide variety to suit all tastes
and budgets.
Our residences are ideally located for students, with excellent proximity and
transport links to City Campus, Coach Lane Campus and the City Centre,
meaning that cars are not necessary for the majority of our students.
All city-based residential students are within walking distance of Sport
Central, our £30m sports facility, the Students’ Union and the bustling culture
and night life of NewcastleGateshead.
Within our residences, we welcome both new and returning students,
undergraduates and postgraduates and dedicate some blocks specifically
to these groups so we can ensure a quieter environment for those who need
it and superb social opportunities for those looking to meet new friends.
Additionally, our residences are not only a home-from-home for UK students,
but for students from all corners of the world!
We also offer a good range of accessible accommodation. For further details
and to arrange viewings and meetings to discuss your specific requirements,
please visit www.northumbria.ac.uk/sd/central/stud_serv/
For those with a green conscience, you’ll be pleased to know that our
residences operate full recycling and re-use schemes, and participate in
a number of key green initiatives, in conjunction with the Students’ Union.
For further information, images of the accommodation and student videos,
please see our web pages: www.northumbria.ac.uk/accommodation
We look forward to welcoming you to your new home.

                                early will be able to take advantage of the best

                                Offer is usually promoted in October and
                                November, and is a great opportunity for groups

                                residence for their second or third year of study.

                                However, we do recognise that the majority of
                                continuing students will choose to live in privately
                                rented accommodation for at least one year, and
                                Newcastle certainly has lots to choose from, with
                                a surplus of rooms available throughout the city.

                                For those looking to live in private accommodation,
                                there’s certainly no shortage of options, and

                                two independent student housing magazines to

Green Travel
NewcastleGateshead is very well served by public transport. Not only is this form of travel
a ‘greener’ way to get around campus, it also allows access to places like the coast, the
countryside and other shopping areas such as the Metro Centre.

We’ve got great Metro (light rail) and bus links with fantastic discounts for students. You
can see just how good this is on the Nexus website – www.nexus.org.uk. This includes
information on prices, maps and timetables.

Why not show how green you are and sign up to our No Car Superstar challenge at
www.nocarsuperstar.co.uk where you could win a bicycle. Cycling is both a great way to
help the environment and take part in healthy exercise. More and more cycle lanes are being
introduced to the area and across our campuses we have over 500 spaces to park your
bicycle. We also have free bicycle tune-up and advice sessions on campus.

Newcastle also has a major bike recycling facility where you can buy great re-conditioned
bikes, saving them from being scrapped, access cycle maintenance classes and cycle
training. You can find more information at www.recyke-y-bike.org
