Student life
Uni is about much more than just getting a degree. In fact, if you spent all your time with your nose in a book, you would definitely be missing out. Here are a few of the great opportunities uni has to offer.
Travel and study
Are you keen to see the world and study at the same time? The student exchange program can help you make that happen.
Not only will you get to experience another culture, the time you study will be credited to your degree program at the University of Newcastle.
There are over 18 countries to choose from. Study in Norway or Germany for a semester, or spend a year at a university in France or the USA.

The buzz on campus
Campus life is a cool part of the uni experience with over 30,000 students and staff on the Newcastle campus.
Meet new people and take a break from study by joining a sport or social club (there is something for everyone, with over 65 to choose from). Get involved in bar trivia or catch a popular band at the Bar on the Hill.
