About Newcastle University

Today's University is a forward-looking, dynamic community of more than 18,000 students and 4,500 staff. As one of the UK's leading universities, our reputation rests on the quality of our teaching - both for undergraduates and postgraduates, our outstanding research, and our work with the regional and local community, businesses and industry. This is underpinned by our mission to play a leading role in our city and region. Newcastle University can trace its origins to a School of Medicine and Surgery, established in Newcastle in 1834.
