About Newcastle University

As a founding member of the Russell Group of research-intensive Universities, we’ve been working to understand the world since 1834 by pushing the boundaries of knowledge through innovation and creativity. We’ve nurtured generations of students to play their part in building a society that’s better, stronger, and fairer. Our 29,000-strong student community is drawn from 145 countries, and our community of over 250,000 alumni are creating outstanding impact around the globe.

Ranked as a Global top 130 University, our research and teaching are world-leading. We’ve developed a global network of strategic industry partners and employers, and our collaborations are providing ideas and solutions of economic, social and cultural benefit for our world.

We have three campuses, in Newcastle, Singapore, and Malaysia. However, we are working towards development and delivery of a plan for activity across the wider ASEAN region.

We aim to do this by:

• Delivering impactful research in areas of university strength which map to regional ASEAN priorities, through engagement with industry, universities and governmental and non-governmental agency partners in the region.

• Initiating new pathways and programmes to create opportunities for ASEAN-based students to access our degree programmes in new and innovative ways.

• To seek opportunities to contribute economically, socially and culturally within the ASEAN region and to benefit from the knowledge and cultural richness within the region to further develop our own.
