Are there places to eat and socialise on campus?

Degree students at Newcastle College University Centre have access to a number of in-house catering outlets across our sites. All of our catering facilities have a five-star Food Hygiene Rating and all of our outlets have been awarded the Heart of Newcastle Award for outstanding hygiene and healthy eating options.

Restaurants

Restaurants are available within the Parsons and Trevelyan buildings on Rye Hill Campus, which serve a wide range of affordable hot and cold foods, including jacket potatoes, made-to-order sandwiches and pastries, along with a number of snacks.

The HE Hub

The upper floor of the HE Hub is perfect for meeting up with friends, grabbing a bite to eat, or relaxing. There is a wide range of lunch options available, from soups to sandwiches, as well as a well-stocked bar offering alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks - perfect for when you're catching up with friends or before a big night out!

The Campus Bistro

Based on the ground floor of the Lifestyle Academy, The Campus Bistro is run by our staff and students in the Lifestyle Academy. It offers a wide range of freshly-made hot and cold dishes, sandwiches and snacks. A selection of hot and cold drinks is also available.

The Chefs' Academy

This is our gourmet a la carte restaurant on the third floor of the Lifestyle Academy, offering panoramic views across the city. An ideal venue if you want to give yourself or your family a treat, it offers two- and three-course meals cooked and served to the highest quality with competitive set menu prices.

Is the campus safe?

Newcastle College University Centre has a range of security measures in place to ensure that all students and staff remain safe while on campus.

We employ a team of security operatives providing 24-hour cover, 365 days a year. Optimum staffing levels are in place to ensure proactive foot patrols are conducted around the College estates, both internally and externally. All of our security staff can be identified by their high-visibility clothing, which is identified with SECURITY on the back, which serves to distinguish them from other day-to-day contractors and suppliers who may also be wearing high-visibility clothing. These security provisions run across all Newcastle College University Centre and NCG campuses.

CCTV is extensively around Newcastle College University Centre, both externally and internally in some buildings, for the purpose of crime prevention and public safety. Our dedicated CCTV control room is continually manned in stagged shifts. The CCTV control room has a dedicated emergency line number in addition to two other phone lines.

As well as general staff challenging people without a valid Newcastle College or University Centre ID, security staff also run checks as part of their specific duties and conduct ad-hoc ID checks at the point of entry to buildings. We also have close liaison with our local neighbourhood police officers.

Do you have study areas for degree students?

The University Centre offers dedicated spaces for higher education students. Our HE Hub is an ideal place for you to study, socialise or collaborate with friends. You can also study in our new HE learning space on the ground floor of the HE Hub, The Turnbull Suite, with PCs, private meeting pods and seating space - perfect for group projects.

The tenth floor of our Parsons building is a great place to study, with stunning views of the city too! It is fully equipped with PCs, breakout areas for group work and a chill-out area to relax in between studying. As a degree student, you will also have access to laptops and tablets for use on campus.

We also have a great Library on campus for you to use. Here, you will have access to over 40,000 books and hundreds of journals, magazines, DVDs, e-books and e-journal resources.

Level 6 BSc (Hons) Applied Physical Education and Sports Coaching (Top-Up)

"You dive deeper into subjects you wouldn't associate with teaching and coaching. Like a lot of psychological stuff and well as physical. It’s a nice variety, but also all the opportunities we are given."

"I still work in the industry; it is important to me and my students that I am always up to date with current ways of working. I work together with my industry contacts and students to organise additional training, which complements their studies."
