Social activity programme
While the main reason for coming to Newcastle is to study,
involvement in non-academic activities is also important to help
you adjust to life in the UK and develop a network of
friends. We organise a programme of regular activities that
help you make the most of your time in the UK.
The programme is run within the INTO centre, and includes trips
to places of interest in Newcastle and the north of England, as
well as visits to the theatre and cinema.
Recent trips have included:
- Trip to York
- Trip to Edinburgh
- Indoor rock climbing
- Visits to Newcastle's two premier league football stadiums
- Trip to Alton Towers theme park
- Trip to the Lake District
There are always activities going on in the INTO Centre as well.
The INTO football team provides students who like sports with
a great chance to meet new friends, play against other university
students in the University's intra-mural league and understand why
the British love football so much! The matches take place in
and around the city of Newcastle every Saturday afternoon and you
can follow the team's progress each week on the sports centre
website.
In addition, there is an INTO Choir and the INTO Philharmonic
for students who enjoy taking part in music. There is also an
astronomy club, regular movie nights, celebrations for Hallowe'en
and Chinese New Year, and also a weekly Thursday Club, which
provides students with a great chance to relax, chat with friends
and have fun.
