Newport is a city rich in culture and heritage and renowned for its thriving arts, music, and sports scenes, so there will be loads of good times in store for Newport students. Just outside Newport there are national parks and beaches, and with great travel links you can be anywhere in the country within hours. The picturesque town of Caerleon has an abundance of pubs and restaurants, where students can relax with each other and the friendly locals.

On campus, the buzzing SU keeps our students occupied. Seasonal balls, live music and comedy nights are a good excuse to put down the books for an evening but the highlight of the social calendar is the May Ball. It sees the arrival of marquees and fair ground rides to the front lawns and some of Britain’s top music acts to keep the students entertained.
