The '''University of Newcastle upon Tyne''', which [[trading name|trades as]] '''Newcastle University''',<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncl.ac.uk/info/legal/|title=Legal|website=Newcastle University|access-date=15 August 2025}}</ref> is a [[public university|public]] [[research university]] based in [[Newcastle upon Tyne]], [[England]]. It has overseas campuses in Singapore and Malaysia. The university is a [[red brick university]] and a member of the [[Russell Group]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.russellgroup.ac.uk/https://russellgroup.ac.uk/about/our-universities/newcastle-university/ |title=Newcastle University |website= Russell Group|access-date=11 December 2024}}</ref> an association of research-intensive UK universities.

The university's history began with the School of Medicine and Surgery (later the College of Medicine), established in Newcastle in 1834, and the [[Edward Fenwick Boyd#College of Physical Science|College of Physical Science]] (later renamed Armstrong College), founded in 1871. These two colleges came to form the larger division of the federal [[University of Durham]], with the [[Colleges of Durham University|Durham Colleges]] forming the other. The Newcastle colleges merged to form '''King's College''' in 1937. In 1963, following an Act of Parliament, King's College became the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.

The university is subdivided into three faculties: the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences; the Faculty of Medical Sciences; and the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering. The university offers over 200 full-time undergraduate degree programmes and over 300 postgraduate taught and research programmes across a range of disciplines.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/newcastle-university |title=Newcastle University |work=Times Higher Education |access-date=11 December 2024 |archive-date=14 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131014000657/http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/world-university-rankings/2013-14/world-ranking/institution/newcastle-university |url-status=live }}</ref> The annual income of the institution for 2023–24 was £619.8&nbsp;million of which £126.1&nbsp;million was from research grants and contracts, with an expenditure of £475&nbsp;million.<ref name="Newcastle Financial Statement 23/24"/>

==History==

The establishment of a university in [[Newcastle upon Tyne]] was first proposed in 1831 by [[Thomas Michael Greenhow|Thomas Greenhow]] in a lecture to the [[Literary and Philosophical Society]]. In 1832 a group of local medics – physicians George Fife (teaching ''materia medica'' and therapeutics) and Samuel Knott (teaching theory and practice of medicine), and surgeons [[John Fife (surgeon)|John Fife]] (teaching surgery), Alexander Fraser (teaching anatomy and physiology) and Henry Glassford Potter (teaching chemistry) – started offering medical lectures in Bell's Court to supplement the apprenticeship system (a fourth surgeon, Duncan McAllum, is mentioned by some sources among the founders, but was not included in the prospectus). The first session started on 1 October 1832 with eight or nine students, including [[John Snow]], then apprenticed to a local surgeon-apothecary, the opening lecture being delivered by John Fife. In 1834 the lectures and practical demonstrations moved to the Hall of the Company of Barber Surgeons to accommodate the growing number of students, and the School of Medicine and Surgery was formally established on 1 October 1834.<ref>{{cite thesis|title=Durham University: Last of the Ancient Universities and First of the New (1831–1871)|last=Andrews|first=Matthew Paul|type=DPhil|publisher=University of Oxford|pages=235–237|chapter=Chapter 7 – Durham and Higher Education in Newcastle|date=2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Cholera, Chloroform, and the Science of Medicine: A Life of John Snow|page=30|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_93j18W7cvwC&pg=PA30|first1=Peter |last1=Vinten-Johansen|first2=Howard |last2=Brody|first3=Nigel |last3=Paneth|first4=Stephen |last4=Rachman|first5=Michael |last5=Rip|first6=David |last6=Zuck|publisher=Oxford University Press|date=1 May 2003|isbn=9780199747887|access-date=5 July 2020|archive-date=2 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200802052509/https://books.google.com/books?id=_93j18W7cvwC&pg=PA30|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Collegium Medicum Novocastrense : the history of the Medical School, afterwards the Durham College of Medicine at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for forty years, from 1832 to 1872|url=https://archive.org/details/b22303340/mode/1up|pages=3–12|author=Dennis Embleton|publisher=Andrew Reid, Sons & Co.|date=1890}}</ref>

On 25 June 1851, following a dispute among the teaching staff, the school was formally dissolved and the lecturers split into two rival institutions. The majority formed the Newcastle College of Medicine, and the others established themselves as the Newcastle upon Tyne College of Medicine and Practical Science with competing lecture courses.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://dokumen.tips/documents/newcastle-upon-tyne-college-of-medicine-and-practical-science.html |title=Newcastle upon Tyne College of Medicine and Practical Science lecture list |access-date=26 June 2022 |archive-date=26 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626211741/https://dokumen.tips/documents/newcastle-upon-tyne-college-of-medicine-and-practical-science.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In July 1851 the majority college was recognised by the [[Society of Apothecaries]] and in October by the [[Royal College of Surgeons of England]] and in January 1852 was approved by the [[University of London]] to submit its students for London medical degree examinations. Later in 1852, the majority college was formally linked to the [[Durham University|University of Durham]], becoming the "Newcastle-upon-Tyne College of Medicine in connection with the University of Durham".<ref>{{cite book|title=Collegium Medicum Novocastrense : the history of the Medical School, afterwards the "Durham College of Medicine at Newcastle-upon-Tyne", for forty years, from 1832 to 1872|url=https://archive.org/details/b22303340/mode/1up|pages=35, 52–53|author=Dennis Embleton|publisher=Andrew Reid, Sons & Co.|date=1890}}</ref> The college awarded its first 'Licence in Medicine' (LicMed) under the auspices of the University of Durham in 1856, with external examiners from Oxford and London, becoming the first medical examining body in the United Kingdom to institute practical examinations alongside written and ''viva voce'' examinations. The two colleges amalgamated in 1857, with the first session of the unified college opening on 3 October that year.<ref>{{cite book|title=Collegium Medicum Novocastrense : the history of the Medical School, afterwards the Durham College of Medicine at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for forty years, from 1832 to 1872|url=https://archive.org/details/b22303340/mode/1up|pages=60, 63–65|author=Dennis Embleton|publisher=Andrew Reid, Sons & Co.|date=1890}}</ref> In 1861 the degree of Master of Surgery was introduced, allowing for the double qualification of Licence of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, along with the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Doctor of Medicine, both of which required residence in Durham. In 1870 the college was brought into closer connection with the university, becoming the "Durham University College of Medicine" with the Reader in Medicine becoming the Professor of Medicine, the college gaining a representative on the university's senate, and residence at the college henceforth counting as residence in the university towards degrees in medicine and surgery, removing the need for students to spend a period of residence in Durham before they could receive the higher degrees.<ref>{{cite book|title=Collegium Medicum Novocastrense : the history of the Medical School, afterwards the Durham College of Medicine at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for forty years, from 1832 to 1872|url=https://archive.org/details/b22303340/mode/1up|pages=75, 92|author=Dennis Embleton|publisher=Andrew Reid, Sons & Co.|date=1890}}</ref>

Attempts to realise a place for the teaching of sciences in the city were finally met with the foundation of the [[Edward Fenwick Boyd#College of Physical Science|College of Physical Science]] in 1871. The college offered instruction in mathematics, physics, chemistry and geology to meet the growing needs of the mining industry, becoming the "Durham College of Physical Science" in 1883 and then renamed after [[William George Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong|William George Armstrong]] as ''Armstrong College'' in 1904. Both of these institutions were part of the University of Durham, which became a federal university under the Durham University Act 1908 with two divisions in Durham and Newcastle. By 1908, the Newcastle division was teaching a full range of subjects in the Faculties of Medicine, Arts, and Science, which also included agriculture and engineering.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://lagb2006.ncl.ac.uk/call.php |title=Linguistics Association of Great Britain Conference 2006 |publisher=Newcastle University |access-date=29 March 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071208173428/http://lagb2006.ncl.ac.uk/call.php |archive-date=8 December 2007 }}</ref>

Throughout the early 20th century, the medical and science colleges outpaced the growth of their Durham counterparts. Following tensions between the two Newcastle colleges in the early 1930s, a [[Royal Commission]] in 1934 recommended the merger of the two colleges to form "King's College, Durham"; that was effected by the Durham University Act 1937. Further growth of both division of the federal university led to tensions within the structure and a feeling that it was too large to manage as a single body. On 1 August 1963 the Universities of Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne Act 1963 separated the two thus creating the "University of Newcastle upon Tyne".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/regulations/docs/statutes.pdf |title=Universities of Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne Act 1963 |publisher=Newcastle University |access-date=7 October 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100705075412/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/regulations/docs/statutes.pdf |archive-date=5 July 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref> As the successor of King's College, Durham, the university at its founding in 1963, adopted the [[coat of arms]] originally granted to the Council of King's College in 1937.

Above the [[portico]] of the Students' Union building are bas-relief carvings of the arms and mottoes of the University of Durham, Armstrong College and Durham University College of Medicine, the predecessor parts of Newcastle University. While a Latin motto, {{lang|la|mens agitat molem}} (''mind moves matter'') appears in the Students' Union building, the university itself does not have an official motto.

In 1967, Newcastle became the only British university to confer an honorary degree on [[Martin Luther King]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Martin Luther King receives honorary degree from Newcastle University|url=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/nov/13/martin-luther-king-degree-newcastle-university-1967|date=14 November 1967|work=The Guardian}}</ref>

The university established a branch campus in London in 2015, in partnership with [[INTO University Partnerships]], at INTO's existing London campus.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.independent.co.uk/student/news/student-news-roundup-newcastle-university-to-open-london-campus-10080201.html|title=Student news round-up: Newcastle University to open London campus|author=Elliot Davies|date=2 March 2015 |work=The Independent}}</ref> The London campus was closed in 2021.<ref>{{cite web|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210422052124/https://www.ncl.ac.uk/london/about/|archive-date=22 April 2021|url=https://www.ncl.ac.uk/london/about/|title=About Newcastle University London|website=Newcastle University}}</ref>

In 2024, Newcastle University had a drop in income of £35 million, referred to as a crisis by the local branch of the [[Universities and Colleges Union]] (UCU). The university had already made £15 million of savings in its budget for the year, but this left a deficit of £20 million.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Shakespeare |first=Austen |date=27 September 2024 |title='Newcastle University faces £35m blackhole as international student numbers decline' |url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-university-35m-international-students-30023341 |work=Chronicle Live}}</ref> As a result, academic promotions were cancelled and the university announced a voluntary redundancy scheme.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Shakespeare |first=Austen |work=Chronicle Live|date= 18 October 2024 |title=Promotions and pay reviews cancelled for Newcastle University academics amid £20m blackhole |url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-university-20m-severance-promotions-30178519 }}</ref> The UCU held a consultative ballot of members on possible strike action related to the cuts in November 2024.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/newcastle-university-ucu-strike-opinion-30474604|title=Union gauging support for industrial action amid Newcastle University funding gap|date=28 November 2024|work=Chronicle Live|author=Austen Shakespeare}}</ref>

The university occupies a campus site close to [[Newcastle Haymarket|Haymarket]] in central Newcastle upon Tyne. It is located to the northwest of the city centre between the open spaces of [[Leazes Park]] and the [[Town Moor, Newcastle upon Tyne|Town Moor]]; the university medical school and [[Royal Victoria Infirmary]] are adjacent to the west.

The Armstrong building is the oldest building on the campus and is the site of the original Armstrong College. The building was constructed in three stages;<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/directory/the-armstrong-building |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150904015733/http://www.heritageopendays.org.uk/directory/the-armstrong-building |url-status=dead |archive-date=4 September 2015 |title=The Armstrong Building |publisher=[[Heritage Open Days]] |access-date=1 May 2015 }}</ref> the north east wing was completed first at a cost of £18,000 and opened by [[Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll|Princess Louise]] on 5 November 1888. The south-east wing, which includes the Jubilee Tower, and south-west wings were opened in 1894. The Jubilee Tower was built with surplus funds raised from an Exhibition to mark [[Queen Victoria]]'s [[Golden Jubilee|Jubilee]] in 1887. The north-west front, forming the main entrance, was completed in 1906 and features two stone figures to represent science and the arts. Much of the later construction work was financed by Sir Isaac [[Lowthian Bell]], the [[Metallurgy|metallurgist]] and former [[Lord Mayor]] of Newcastle, after whom the main tower is named. In 1906 it was opened by [[King Edward VII]].<ref name="royalopen">{{cite web |url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/item/royal-opening-for-newcastle-university-s-student-services-building |title=Royal opening for student services building |publisher=Newcastle University |date=4 February 2010 |access-date=4 February 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100209024022/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/item/royal-opening-for-newcastle-university-s-student-services-building |archive-date=9 February 2010 }}</ref>

[[File:Kings Gate building.jpg|thumb|The King's Gate building hosts student and administrative services and was built in 2009.]]
Plans for additions and improvements to the campus were made public in March 2008 and completed in 2010 at a cost of £200&nbsp;million. They included a redevelopment of the south-east (Haymarket) façade with a five-storey King's Gate administration building as well as new student accommodation. Two additional buildings for the school of medicine were also built.<ref name="2010plans">{{cite web |url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/content.phtml?ref=1206461398 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20121223151756/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/press.office/press.release/content.phtml?ref=1206461398 |url-status=dead |archive-date=23 December 2012 |title=Newcastle University announces £200&nbsp;million investment in its campus |publisher=Newcastle University |date=26 March 2008 |access-date=6 April 2008 }}</ref>
September 2012 saw the completion of the new buildings and facilities for [[INTO University Partnerships|INTO Newcastle University]] on the university campus. The main building provides 18 new teaching rooms, a Learning Resource Centre, a lecture theatre, science lab, administrative and academic offices and restaurant.

The Philip Robinson Library is the main university library and is named after a bookseller in the city and benefactor to the library. The Walton Library specialises in services for the Faculty of Medical Sciences in the Medical School. It is named after [[Baron Walton of Detchant|Lord Walton of Detchant]], former Dean of the Faculty of Medicine and Professor of Neurology. The library has a relationship with the Northern region of the [[National Health Service (England)|NHS]] allowing their staff to use the library for research and study. The Law Library specialises in resources relating to law, and the Marjorie Robinson Library Rooms offers additional study spaces and computers. Together, these house over one million books and 500,000 electronic resources. Some schools within the university, such as the School of Modern Languages, also have their own smaller libraries with smaller highly specialised collections.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/teaching/information/library/ |title=Library |publisher=Newcastle University School of Computing Science |access-date=19 September 2010 |archive-date=29 February 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120229215233/http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/teaching/information/library/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Civic responsibility===
[[File:Old Quad, Newcastle University, 5 September 2013.jpg|alt=|right|thumb|The university Quadrangle]]

The university describes itself as a civic university,<ref>{{cite web|last=Newcastle University|title=Newcastle University: A Civic University|url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/about/values/civic/|access-date=26 November 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121212232156/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/about/values/civic/|archive-date=12 December 2012}}</ref> with a role to play in society by bringing its research to bear on issues faced by communities (local, national or international).

In 2012, the university opened the Newcastle Institute for Social Renewal<ref>{{cite web|last=Newcastle University|title=Newcastle Institute for Social Renewal|url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/socialrenewal/nisr/|access-date=26 November 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121102121041/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/socialrenewal/nisr/|archive-date=2 November 2012}}</ref> to address issues of social and economic change, representing the research-led academic schools across the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences<ref>{{cite web|last=Newcastle University|title=Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences|url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/hss/|access-date=26 November 2012|archive-date=11 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111003402/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/hss/|url-status=live}}</ref> and the Business School.

====Economics Department====
[[File:Newcastle University Business School (geograph 2486131).jpg|alt=|thumb|Newcastle University Business School]]
As early as the 1900/1 academic year, there was teaching in [[economics]] ([[political economy]], as it was then known) at Newcastle, making Economics the oldest department in what would only much later become the Business School.<ref>United Kingdom, House of Commons Parliamentary Papers, ''Reports for University Colleges participating in the Grant by Parliament for University Colleges in Great Britain'' (London: HMSO, 1901).</ref> The Economics Department is currently headed by the [[Sir David Dale, 1st Baronet|Sir David Dale]] Chair.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Economics |url=https://www.ncl.ac.uk/business/economics/ |access-date=2023-09-03 |website=www.ncl.ac.uk |language=en}}</ref> Among the eminent economists having served in the Department (both as holders of the Sir David Dale Chair) are [[1931 Birthday Honours|Harry Mainwaring Hallsworth]] and [[Stanley R. Dennison|Stanley Dennison]].

==== Business School ====
Like its peers in the north of England, such as the business schools of [[University of Bradford]] and [[Manchester Metropolitan University]], Newcastle University Business School is a [[triple accreditation|triple accredited]] business school, with accreditation by the three major accreditation bodies: [[AACSB]], [[Association of MBAs|AMBA]] and [[EQUIS]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.topuniversities.com/universities/newcastle-university/newcastle-university-business-school |title=About Newcastle University Business School |access-date=25 August 2023}}</ref>

====Medical School====
{{main|Newcastle University Medical School}}
[[File:Medical faculty, Newcastle University, 5 September 2013 (4).jpg|left|thumb|upright=0.75|Medical faculty, Newcastle University]]
The [[BMC journals|BMC Medicine journal]] reported in 2008 that medical graduates from [[Oxford University|Oxford]], [[Cambridge University|Cambridge]] and Newcastle performed better in postgraduate tests than any other medical school in the UK.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7242897.stm |title=Call for medical training reform |work=BBC News |date=18 February 2008 |access-date=1 April 2008 |archive-date=8 April 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080408225144/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7242897.stm |url-status=live }}</ref>

In 2008 the Medical School announced that they were expanding their campus to [[Malaysia]].<ref name=numed/>

The [[Royal Victoria Infirmary]] has always had close links with the Faculty of Medical Sciences as a major teaching hospital.

====School of Modern Languages====
The School of Modern Languages consists of five sections: East Asian (which includes Japanese and Chinese); French; German; Spanish, Portuguese & Latin American Studies; and Translating & Interpreting Studies.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/sml/ |title=School of Modern Languages |publisher=Newcastle University |access-date=21 August 2013 |archive-date=30 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130830111456/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/sml/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Six languages are taught from beginner's level to full degree level ‒ Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese ‒ and beginner's courses in Catalan, Dutch, Italian and Quechua are also available. Beyond the learning of the languages themselves, Newcastle also places a great deal of emphasis on study and experience of the cultures of the countries where the languages taught are spoken. The School of Modern Languages hosts [[North East England]]'s only branches of two internationally important institutes: the [[Camões Institute]], a language institute for Portuguese, and the [[Confucius Institute]], a language and cultural institute for Chinese.

The teaching of modern foreign languages at Newcastle predates the [[#History|creation of Newcastle University]] itself, as in 1911 Armstrong College in Newcastle installed [[Albert George Latham]], its first professor of modern languages.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ncl.ac.uk/sml/assets/documents/History.pdf |title=School of Modern Languages History |publisher=Newcastle University |access-date=23 August 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120514084351/http://www.ncl.ac.uk/sml/assets/documents/History.pdf |archive-date=14 May 2012 }}</ref>
