City of Newcastle International Student Welcome 2025

Nestled along Australia's east coast, Newcastle offers international students a fantastic lifestyle enriched by charming cafes, boutique shops, world-class beaches and a lively arts and culture scene.

Every year, the Lord Mayor of Newcastle eagerly extends a warm welcome to a new cohort of international students who have chosen our city as their study destination. Join us as we celebrate the significant impact these students have on enriching Newcastle's vitality, quality of life, and cultural diversity.

More than just a ceremony, this event provides international students with the chance to forge meaningful connections and create lasting memories as they set off on their academic journey in Newcastle.
