Newcastle en resumen
Una cultura universitaria legendaria: societies para todo, auténtica vida de pub, y ciudades a reventar de estudiantes internacionales. Nunca te vas a quedar sin conciertos, fútbol o noches de curry barato.
Newcastle es una ciudad Geordie compacta y sociable con dos grandes universidades, una vida nocturna famosa por buena, y los castillos y playas de Northumberland a un corto trayecto en Metro.
Partners de alojamiento verificados y ventajas para estudiantes en Newcastle, sin fianzas a ciegas ni caseros fantasma. Pilla tu sitio antes de que lo haga alguien de tu grupo.
Todavía estamos cerrando acuerdos con partners verificados en Newcastle. Mientras tanto, pregunta al grupo de Newcastle por las pistas de alojamiento que están usando los estudiantes ahora mismo.
Aquí tienes dos universidades en pleno centro, algunas de las noches más baratas del Reino Unido y una bienvenida local genuinamente cálida. La costa y los castillos de Northumberland están a minutos en Metro o tren.
Jesmond es el corazón estudiantil, y el Bigg Market y la Diamond Strip en el centro son las salidas clásicas. Ouseburn ofrece una alternativa más cool, de cerveza artesanal.
Newcastle es una de las grandes ciudades más baratas del Reino Unido, así que tanto las noches de fiesta como el alquiler cunden más. Una tarjeta Metro y el mercado cubierto ayudan a estirar el presupuesto.
Jesmond y Sandyford son las zonas estudiantiles top, con opciones más baratas en Heaton y Fenham. La demanda en Jesmond es alta, así que muévete pronto.
El Tyne and Wear Metro es la columna vertebral, conecta la ciudad, la costa, el aeropuerto y Sunderland. El centro es caminable y la línea principal llega hasta Edimburgo y Londres.
Las dos universidades están una junto a otra en pleno centro, con una gran comunidad internacional. Los trimestres siguen el calendario habitual del Reino Unido.
Desde el Brexit, los ciudadanos de la UE ya no tienen libre circulación, así que la mayoría de estudiantes no irlandeses necesitan permiso para estudiar. Para un intercambio de hasta seis meses, a menudo puedes entrar por la vía Short-term study o simplemente como Standard Visitor, según tu nacionalidad y la duración del curso. Para un año completo necesitarás un Student visa patrocinado por tu universidad anfitriona.
Lo que te aplica depende por completo de tu pasaporte, así que confírmalo pronto con la universidad y la guía oficial del gobierno británico. El Student visa necesita una referencia CAS de tu uni, justificante de fondos y normalmente el recargo de sanidad para inmigración, así que presupuesta tiempo y dinero para ello.
Merece la pena probar los platos típicos del North East, y el mercado cubierto es un highlight gastronómico con historia de verdad. El fútbol es central en la identidad de la ciudad.
La ciudad va desde el frondoso Jesmond hasta el valle artístico de Ouseburn y el Quayside junto al río. Cada zona tiene un rollo distinto para vivir y salir.
Playas y castillos están a un corto trayecto en Metro o tren, y Edimburgo queda cerca para un fin de semana más grande. La costa de Northumberland es de las mejores de Inglaterra.
Los locales son famosos por salir sin abrigo de fiesta, aunque no hace falta que sigas la tradición. Consigue una tarjeta de transporte pronto y usa el Metro para llegar a la costa.

The weather is cold and you a bit far from big cities like London. But it’s a student city with lots of diversity.

I loved studying at newcastle. The teachers are so kind, and empathetic and they truly want to see you succeed and feel comfortable in their classroom. I think……

On Callaghan Campus !
¿Lo recomendarías?
Living on campus was the best choice I could make, because I was living with other people (mostly australians) and it’s great to meet new people. It made things easier. Moreover there is always a lot of activities and parties on campus, so you are always invited to everything and you can enjoy as much as possible. For business students the courses are in another campus called NU space(25/30 min of bus) but you can take a FREE bus from and to Callaghan campus (Accomodation campus). So it is also pretty convenient. The only negative point of callaghan campus is the location: it is not closed to the beach or to the center of the city.
¿Qué bares, clubes o eventos recomiendas?
In the school life there are always events. The Orientation week is very fun to do because you have a themed party every day for a week, and activities during the day. And for the rest of the year, there is usually a bar and a club where the whole school is going to every sunday. Same fro tuesday and Thursday. For people who do not really like clubbing, the school has several clubs when you can go for a run and swim at 6am or you also can do manual activities such as drawing or painting. I didn’t rate 5/5 stars because I think the uni makes the social life cool, but if you don’t study it can be hard to do a lot of things in newcastle, as it is pretty small compared to melbourne or sydney. The student life makes it easier.
¿Qué asignaturas recomiendas… o no?
I loved studying at newcastle. The teachers are so kind, and empathetic and they truly want to see you succeed and feel comfortable in their classroom. I think I learned so much. First semester: - Negotiation and advocacy -> Amazing, very good for practicing english and to meet people. The teacher is great and class is easy - Accounting and reporting -> classic, you learn a lot. My teacher left uni but she was amazing. - Business finance -> one of my first finance class, I struggled a bit but I learned a lot. The teacher gave us gifts when we were doing exercices :) - Business development -> This class is very challenging because you have many essays to write. the teacher is a CEO of a company so it’s a different approach of what you are used to. You learn a LOT. It always felt like a discussion. You follow a case study of a company all semester and have to “sell” one of their products as the last project. It boosts your negotiation skills and it’s great to improve your english level. 2nd semester: - Bank and derivative securities -> my favorite class, it was very interesting and U got really good grades but you are a lot of students in this class so the teacher doesnt have time to interact a lot. - Portfolio management -> the teacher is GREAT, I learned so much in finance. A lot of excel but it’s always recorded so you have time to practice at home (and improve your skills). The assignments are interesting. There is a group project so ideal if you want to make friends. - Accounting practice -> Very easy - Leadership change management -> I did not really like this class because I felt it was a bit boring (respectfully).
¿Tienes algún consejo?
Even though it is the other side of the word. I have the feeling that everything was easy. The registration process was clear and the administration answers quickly to my questions. The campus is big and cool. I would do it again !
¿Los mejores viajes que hacer?
- From newcastle, it’s 2h of train to go to sydney (and it’s cheap = 6$). - Sadly there is not an international airport at newcastle yet, but sydney is pretty close you its almost the same :) TRAVEL AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AUSTRALIA HAS SO MANY PLACES TO DISCOVER :)))
¿Qué necesitas saber sí o sí para vivir a tope en Newcastle?
Food is okay, it’s not Europe or France but asian restaurants are very very good ! The transports are not the best because every one has a car (except exchange students) so you may need to be a bit more patient. I was surprised because it rains a lot in newcastle, especially during winter. It’s a small city and i you have to be prepared to live a slow and peaceful life. If you come form a big city it can be quite a change.
Go and talk to people, even though you feel lonely. There is not a lot of exchange students so not everyone will know or understand what you’re feeling. But Australians are very nice and they will want you to feel welcomed. Living in a small city can be a bit boring but I think at the end of the day you have a soft spot for the places you’ve been to all year/semester and it makes you feel at home. PS: don’t be afraid of sharks and spiders, I didn’t see one in my entire year. So go surf please. The beach is AMAZING
