 City and region

The Newcastle University can trace its origins to a School of Medicine and Surgery, established in Newcastle in 1834, and to Armstrong College, which was founded in the city in 1871 for the teaching of physical sciences. Find out more about the history of the University.

The city and region

The city of Newcastle has a varied and progressive past, but is now a thriving cosmopolitan city. There are examples of our heritage and culture throughout the city and region.

History

The University can trace its origins to a School of Medicine and Surgery (later the College of Medicine), established in Newcastle in 1834, and to Armstrong College, which was founded in the city in 1871 for the teaching of physical sciences.

These two colleges formed one division of the federal University of Durham, the Durham Colleges forming the other division. The Newcastle Colleges merged to form King's College in 1937 and, in 1963, when the federal University was dissolved, King's College became the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, and latterly, Newcastle University.

Sustained expansion since 1945 has resulted in the development of a modern University campus, around the original Armstrong College buildings, on a 50-acre site close to the centre of Newcastle. The University is now investing £200m in its estate in the most ambitious, intensive and wide-ranging programme of capital development in its history.

 

   

 

About the University

The central campus is set on a 50-acre site close to the city centre.  Most of the University buildings are located here.  A small number of specialist buildings are located off campus.

Foundation Programmes

The Foundation programme is a pre-university course designed to bridge the gap for international students between secondary school and undergraduate studies. The programme gives international students a level of academic preparation comparable to UK A-Levels and ensures that students meet the minimum English language requirement for entry to their chosen undergraduate degree programme. In some circumstances, students may be able to enrol on the Foundation programme in order to change their specialist subject. The programme combines academic study, intensive English language preparation, study skills and a cultural orientation. For information relating to foundation programmes please visit the INTO Newcastle University website.

INTO Diploma in Business

The INTO Diploma in Business is a full-time academic programme, which is equivalent to studying the first year of an undergraduate degree and prepares you for direct entry to the second year of an undergraduate degree in Newcastle University Business School. The Diploma in Business is suitable for international students who have completed A-levels, a recognised Foundation programme or for students who are already in the first year of a relevant undergraduate degree but do not meet the requirements for direct entry to Newcastle University Business School.
