Our Partnerships in Action
Newcastle University has a strong global community and a wide array of international partnerships. We work together with our partners to deliver education, experiences and research that truly embraces a global outlook.
We are global
We work with our international partners to deliver education, experiences and research that truly embrace a global outlook. As a community, we collaborate across the world to achieve more than we can alone and to help tackle the challenges affecting society.
Our partnership model isn’t a one size fits all, as some are tiny and others are enormous. But they all share our commitment to social and environmental justice. We want our partnerships to positively impact the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We also host regular outgoing international delegations and incoming diplomatic visits.
