but is only 20 minutes away from the beautiful English countryside. Newcastle has been placed in the top 150 universities in the world as ranked by The Times Higher Education World Rankings and 12th in the UK.
Located in the northeast of England, Newcastle was recently named one of the most exciting party cities in the UK ranking higher than London, Glasgow and Leeds. The city is exciting, friendly and vibrant, with great nightlife, sport and culture. It's a compact and energetic place - most of the city's shops and businesses lie within one square mile. At night, the city center comes alive on a scale unmatched elsewhere in England - the bubbly nightlife with its carnival atmosphere is widely renowned.
Newcastle is also a fairly inexpensive place for students to live compared with many other places in the UK. Most amenities are within walking distance of university housing, most of the shops, theatres, cafes and restaurants a few minutes' walk from the campus, and as a student-friendly city, there are many discounts for students.
