University of distinction

Newcastle University is one of Britain’s leading academic institutions, with a reputation that stretches back to its origins as the School of Medicine and Surgery, established in Newcastle in 1834. At Newcastle our aim is simple; to inspire our students through teaching and research, and to create an exciting yet supportive environment in which to study.

Newcastle University is situated in the heart of the historic city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Like the city, the University has developed into the modern and forward-thinking institution you see today. As an internationally acclaimed, research-led University, Newcastle has a reputation for high-quality teaching and research and attracts over 18,000 full-time and part-time undergraduate and postgraduate students, including approximately 2,500 international students from over 100 different countries.

As well as its academic excellence, Newcastle University is also known for its community involvement and takes pride in being heavily engaged in the cultural, economic and social development of the region, as well as addressing social issues of global importance. In 2005, the University was awarded the prestigious Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education for its pioneering, community-based research.
A number of the University’s clinicians, scientists, and engineers are also involved in the ‘Make Poverty History’ campaign.

With its unusually wide range of degree courses and top-rated student facilities, it is not hard to see why Newcastle University has become one of the fastest-growing UK universities. With an increased turnover of £146 million since 1999 – 2000, the University has been able to continually invest in a spectacular campus building programme, new teaching and learning facilities and world-class researchers.
