LIFE IN NEWCASTLE

UNDERGRADUATE STUDY POSTGRADUATE STUDY BOOK AN OPEN DAY

Newcastle is the 2nd 'Best UK Student City' 2023 according to the Student Crowd, as voted by students. The fast growing culture of Newcastle is one to witness.

Newcastle upon Tyne is regularly hailed as one of the best cities for student life. It’s partly due to the city’s compactness, which makes it large enough to be vibrant and exciting while small enough to feel like home. It’s also due to the sheer number of students: one in every six people in the city is a student.

After reading about how great living in Newcastle can be, you’ll most likely want to visit and discover it for yourself. Check out our upcoming Undergraduate and Postgraduate Open Days - we look forward to seeing you soon.
