Newcastle is a fantastic city to live and study in - it's a great place to be. The city is one of the most exciting, friendly and cosmopolitan in the UK, and is fast becoming an internationally renowned centre of culture and science.

It's a place of stylish shops, café-bars and enterprise, with great nightlife, sport and culture. Modern, innovative landmarks into the city include the award-winning Gateshead Millennium Bridge, the BALTIC, the Sage Gateshead music centre and the awe-inspiring 'Angel of the North' sculpture.

Newcastle is a very compact city; getting around is really easy. We have an extensive bus network and an underground Metro rail system with stations linking popular student residential areas with the campus in the city. Excellent transport links mean it's simple to visit places further afield such as the coast, and the rest of the UK.
