The Institution comprises a community of around 2,300 Higher Education Students of which 350 are International students and 10,000 Further Education Students based on a self-contained campus located within the centre of Newcastle. With the conferment of Taught Degree Awarding Powers, NCG is able to grow with confidence its Higher Education offer and seeks to increase the number of international students studying at NCUC, being mindful to continue to strive for greater diversity in the student body and levels of studies students are undertaking. NCUC is placed in the heart of Newcastle city centre and provides students with an outstanding learning environment within its self-contained campus with all the added benefits of being based in a city centre, providing easy access to accommodation, transportation, entertainment and jobs. Internationalisation has been a core part of the offer at NCUC which has grown and diversified over the years to meet the needs of its current and future students. As the offer at NCUC has grown so has the infrastructure to support international students, which can be seen through the dedicated student support, admissions, and the international development teams that have been established. Currently international student recruitment activity is contained to NCUC but there is the possibility to expand to other NCG Colleges in the future. The academic portfolio at NCUC covers a wide range of undergraduate courses across Art and Design, Digital Arts, Digital Technologies, Business, Aviation, Engineering, Health, Music and Performing Arts and Sport, offering both full three-year degrees and top-up opportunities. The postgraduate offer is primarily focused around Business and Immersive Creative Technologies, but with the potential for further development to complement the established UG offer. The desire to grow its international student base builds on the foundation established through the University Centre Strategy, supporting the overall mission of NCG: “Enabling social mobility and economic prosperity through exceptional education”. HE Strategic Objectives •Transformative student experience and outcomes. •Stay and succeed. •Shaping the places we live and work, through an aligned and inclusive curriculum. •A culture of community, inclusion and resilience. •Outstanding digital and physical learning environments. •Investing in a bright future.
