Newcastle University is a research-intensive public university and a founding member of the Russell Group. Its history begins in 1834 with the establishment of a school of medicine and surgery in the city, and the institution took its present form as an independent university in 1963. The main campus is set in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, within walking distance of the city centre, and the university also operates international campuses in Malaysia and Singapore.
Around 28,000 students from more than 130 countries study at Newcastle. Medicine and engineering are long-established strengths, and the academic portfolio now extends across business, the humanities, the creative arts and the social sciences. Research is concentrated on societal challenges, with particular focus on ageing and health, data science, cities and place, sustainability, and cultural and creative arts. The university holds a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework 2023 and is recognised internationally for combining academic study with practical, career-focused learning in a lively and affordable student city.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Newcastle University is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.
Our UK university guardianship services for Newcastle University start from £250 per term. We also offer premium and bespoke packages, and with our flexible guardianship services you only pay for the services you need. Full details are on our guardianship fees page.
No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Newcastle University may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
