Basic information and contact details for Newcastle University

institution

Newcastle University traces its origins back to the School of Medicine and Surgery, established in 1834. Since this time, the University has become a front runner in research excellence. Its student-centric ethos makes for an unrivaled student experience.

As a research-intensive Russell Group founding member, students get the rare opportunity to study at the forefront of new discoveries.

Nestled at the heart of the North East of England - the University boasts over 200 undergraduate and 300 postgraduate degrees to choose from, with an array of award-winning departments.

Students’ learning will also be supported by specialist subject facilities, including:

  • high specification labs and clinical skills suites
  • studios and rehearsal spaces
  • on-campus museum and art gallery
  • two commercial farms and a biological field station
  • a sea-going research vessel, coastal station and marine lab

As well as the £350 million urban regeneration project, Newcastle Helix.

Outside of the lecture theatre Newcastle University houses over 65 different sports clubs, so there’s no shortage of opportunities for students to challenge themselves and make new friends. In fact, the University has recently invested £30 million into new, state-of-the-art sports facilities.

In addition to the new sports facilities, students can also choose from over 160 different societies to get involved in.

With campuses not only in Newcastle, but London, Singapore and Malaysia, Newcastle University has a global reach and global employer links.

The Malaysian-based campus offers UK undergraduate medical and biomedical education while the Singapore-based campus offers engineering degrees in collaboration with the Singapore Institute of Technology and Ngee Ann and Nanyang Polytechnics.
