[编辑] 员工和学生
在2006年，学校的学生数量超越了26,000名，其中包括来自于80多个国家的3500余名国际学生。该校共有约2300名全日制员工。
[编辑] Student Organisations
Students at the University are represented by the Newcastle University Students' Association (NUSA), the University of Newcastle Union Limited (UNU Ltd) and the Newcastle University Postgraduate Student Association (NUPSA).
The UNU is responsible for the social life of the university, as well as most of the commercial facilities on campus. It organises all the main entertainment events, usually performed at the University's two licensed venues, the Bar on the Hill and the Tanner Bar. Apart from (formerly compulsory) student contribitions, the UNU generates significant income from the stores, restaurants and bars on campus.
NUSA and NUPSA are primarily advocacy organisations, representing students on a variety of issues from political activism to the internal organisation of the University. NUSA also produces Opus, the University's magazine written by and for students. Both these organisations have no commercial interests and are expected to come under significant strain when the effects of Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) become apparent.
