Study in Newcastle: What Every International Student Needs to Know!

Newcastle upon Tyne is one of the UK’s best cities for international students, offering a perfect blend of history, culture, nightlife, and friendly locals. Unlike big cities like London or Manchester, Newcastle is affordable, with great value for accommodation, transport, and entertainment. The city’s excellent public transport system, including the Tyne & Wear Metro, makes exploring easy—from the city centre to beautiful coastal towns in under 30 minutes.

The metro system is very popular among the students - Link: https://www.railwaygazette.com/metros/metro-operator-opts-for-better-mobile-signal-instead-of-wi-fi/63623.article

Students love the vibrant social scene: enjoy traditional pubs, modern bars along the Quayside, bustling markets like Grainger Market, and live music at the iconic Sage Gateshead. The city is steeped in history, with the medieval Castle Keep, the famous Tyne Bridge, and remnants of Hadrian’s Wall even running through IH Newcastle’s own building.

In the heart of Newcastle, in the Quayseide area, students will find the Tyne Bridge.

Weekends are perfect for exploring nearby gems such as Edinburgh, York, the Lake District, or the dramatic Northumberland coastline with its castles and beaches. IH Newcastle’s own excursions make these trips easy and fun.

In action: our students working in groups - classes are restricted to 12 students per classroom!
