Introduction

Newcastle University

A Global Top 125 university (QS World University Rankings 2023), Newcastle is home to 29,000 students from 140 countries.

A founding member of the Russell Group, we are one of only 19 universities in the world – and just three in the UK – to achieve a five-plus QS Star rating for overall excellence (2022).

We can trace our origins back to the School of Medicine and Surgery, established in 1834.

Today, we combine world-leading research with a world-class academic experience.

A global leader with strengths in ageing and health, data, energy, cities, and the creative arts, we’re pioneering solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing the world. In the UK’s Research Excellence Framework 2021, 42% of our research was scored as world leading.

Through 5-star teaching (QS Stars 2022), we educate for life. Students are challenged and supported to learn from world-class experts across more than 185 undergraduate and 300 postgraduate degrees.

Student experience

Students are supported to reach their full potential by our Student Health and Wellbeing services that provide counselling, mental health, disability and specialist learning support, as well as financial support and faith and spirituality support.

We’ve developed an online Academic Skills Kit to support students to become effective independent learners.

Our Students' Union is at the heart of the Newcastle experience, offering more than 180 student-run societies and over 60 sports clubs.

A top student city Multicultural, vibrant and friendly, Newcastle is the capital of North East England – the University’s city-centre campus is at its heart.

A global top 50 and UK top 10 student city, it’s also one of the most affordable in the UK (QS Best Student Cities, 2023).

Newcastle offers top-class sport, a vibrant arts scene, great shopping and exciting nightlife. It’s also close to beautiful countryside and award-winning beaches.

Newcastle University London students are part of a friendly and supportive learning community. They foster strong working relationships between lecturers and fellow classmates, and join part of the wider Newcastle University community of alumni and partners. Being in a global city at the heart of the financial centre of London, one of the command centres of the global economy, creates value for our students, alumni, academics and business partners.

Newcastle University UK, established an international branch campus, Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) in Johor, Malaysia in 2011. The campus provides undergraduate degrees in Medicine (MB BS) and Biomedical Sciences (BSc), as well as opportunities for foundation and postgraduate study.

The programmes of study are identical to Newcastle’s UK-based provision, and lead to the award of the same degrees, conferred by Newcastle University, UK. By choosing to study at NUMed Malaysia, students will obtain a reputable UK qualification, from an internationally recognised university, at a cost significantly less than that of studying for the same degrees in the UK.

We provide top-quality degrees in Singapore, developed by Newcastle University in partnership with the Singapore Institute of Technology and using the facilities of Ngee Ann and Nanyang Polytechnics.

Newcastle University has been operating in Singapore since 2007 when we introduced courses to meet the needs of leading figures in the marine sector. In 2009 we joined forces with the Singapore Institute of Technology to launch our Singapore operation. Since then, over 1,000 students have graduated in major areas of Engineering and Science. Our degrees are informed by international research excellence. You'll be encouraged to be innovative and think independently and critically. The world-wide demand for quality engineers and scientists has never been so high. We'll prepare you to join industry as leaders and decision makers.

Whether you're an undergraduate looking to live alone for the first time, a postgraduate coming with your partner or anyone with a family, we can help you find somewhere to live.
