Our City
We're right in the heart of the North East.
Newcastle is consistently ranked among the top student cities in the UK. Known for its buzzing nightlife, amazing shopping, street food, live music and rich history, it’s a city that truly has it all. Combine that with beautiful architecture, galleries and green spaces and it’s no wonder students love it here!
About Newcastle
Whether you’re into late-night music gigs, chill coffee spots, sports, or just exploring, Newcastle has something for everyone. Our campus is just a short walk from the city centre, so you can dive straight into student life with minimal fuss.
And if you need a break from the city, the North East is right on your doorstep. Hop on the Metro or a bus and in under 30 minutes, you can be at award-winning beaches, hiking in National Parks, or exploring picturesque towns and countryside.
Plus, Geordies are famously friendly, so wherever you go, you’re sure to feel welcome and there’s a seriously long bucket list of things to do while you’re here.
Things to do
Newcastle and the wider North East are packed with activities for students. From buzzing nightlife to relaxed days out by the coast or countryside, you’ll never run out of things to do. Even if you’re a local Geordie, there’s always more to explore.
Places to eat
If you're a real foodie, Newcastle has something for every occasion and every budget. Here, you can find street-food and independent cafes, alongside family favourites, fine-dining and Michelin stars.
For something a little different, check out what's on offer in our famous Grainger Market, or enjoy a traditional Chinese meal in Chinatown.
Grey's Quarter at Eldon Square and The Gate have all the names you know and love, while you'll find the best brunch spots in the nearby student hubs of Jesmond and Ouseburn.
Don't forget to check out The Chefs' Academy on campus too!
Museums and Culture
Our history and heritage means you'll find culture no matter where you wander in our city, or even our region. Enjoy world-class theatre at our historical Theatre Royal and Tyne Theatre, or take in an indie production at Live Theatre or Alphabetti Theatre. Take in our city's story at Newcastle Castle or one of our many museums, or immerse yourself in art at the Laing Art Gallery or BALTIC Gateshead. Catch chart-topping acts at the 10,000 seat Utilita Arena and our various music festivals, or your favourite local band at one of many independent venues dotted across the city. Newcastle is the social and cultural hub of the North East, so no matter what you're into, you'll find it here.
Sport and Activities
Whether you love playing sport or simply spectating, there are plenty of options in Newcastle for you.
Newcastle United may not always win, but it's always an electric experience being part of the loyal and passionate crowd that fills St James' Park to cheer them on week after week!
Alternatively, you can head to Kingston Park to watch the rugby, while basketball fans are just a short stroll from the Newcastle Eagles Vertu Arena.
Prefer playing? There are plenty of local sports teams in and around Newcastle, or you can even join a team on campus to meet new people.
If you just love being active, enjoy the walking trails and cycle paths connecting city, country and coast, or go one step further and get involved in the water sports on offer along the River Tyne!
