Newcastle University is a prestigious world-leading university dedicated to leading the way in innovation, creativity, and excellence. The things we do here make a difference out there.

We inspire students to think differently, take on new challenges, and gain the confidence to push boundaries – all the while forging lasting friendships and making incredible memories.

Our Newcastle campus has a history dating back to 1834, and is placed at the heart of a bright and vibrant student city, world famous for its arts and culture, sport, shopping, and close proximity to beautiful countryside and coastlines.
