大学概况University Profile

Newcastle is a city centre university in a way that few of its counterparts in the Russell Group of leading research-focused universities can claim to be. And when a city is as popular with students as this one is, the close proximity of academic and social life can only be a good thing.

The university was in the top three for social life in Times Higher Education magazine’s latest student experience survey and Newcastle with its legendary nightlife has been a frequent winner of the ‘best student city’ title.

No other large city-based university ranks higher than Newcastle’s 13=  in our analysis of this year’s National Student Survey, which measures student satisfaction with academic life but is inevitably influenced also by environmental factors to do with students’ surroundings.

The university’s main campus opens on to the busy Haymarket area, while the new Science Central site, which it operates in partnership with the city council, represents one of the UK’s biggest inner-city regeneration projects. It will be a test-bed for research into urban sustainability and digital technology.

A third campus, on the site of the former Newcastle General Hospital, focuses on research into ageing and is another element of the university’s lead role in turning Newcastle into one of the six officially-designated science cities.

The university will be spending £100m in the next three years on student facilities and information technology. The Digital Campus scheme has already produced mobile apps used by almost 20,000 students and staff per week and a lecture recording service that amassed almost 16,000 recordings in its first year.

The university – one of those like Bristol and Birmingham which has the space to expand – has seen two years of growing enrolments since the introduction of £9,000 fees, taking an additional 600 undergraduates in 2013.

Newcastle is popular with students from independent schools, who accounted for 30% of the places in 2012, although the university expects this figure to drop substantially when the statistics for 2013 are published. It has longstanding programmes aimed at attracting more students from non-traditional backgrounds.

It leads the Realising Opportunities Scheme, which brings together a number of leading universities to promote fair access to higher education and social mobility.

The university is aiming to raise its profile as a “world-class civic university” combining local engagement with growing international activity. Newcastle was the first UK university to open an overseas medical school: the first cohort in Johor, Malaysia, will graduate in 2014.

The university already had a joint venture with Singapore Institute of Technology, offering seven academic programmes in a range of engineering disciplines and food sciences in the island state. There are also strategic partnerships with institutions in Australia, China, Brazil, Angola and Indonesia, as well as a designated teaching and accommodation complex on Tyneside for international students, which opened in 2012.

The university’s origins can be traced back to a school of medicine and surgery established in Newcastle in 1834, which later became part of Durham University before going its own way again in 1963. The Medical School now has a partnership with Durham, with about a third of trainees spending their first two years at Durham’s Stockton campus.

Recent developments on the 50-acre main campus include the glass-fronted King’s Gate building for student services, which created a new “front door” to the university.

New buildings have opened for music and medical sciences, science and engineering laboratories have been upgraded, and disabled access improved.

A major refurbishment of the library included the provision of more social learning spaces and improved facilities for researchers. The library, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week during term-time, is the only one in the UK to have been awarded five Charter Marks in a row for excellent customer service. The library provides extra help with academic writing styles and maths, and there is a separate centre offering free tuition in 50 languages.

Newcastle has a number of unusual features for a traditional university, such as a fine art degree with intense competition for places and a longstanding reputation for agriculture, which benefits from two farms in Northumberland.

The award-winning NCL+ initiative encourages all students to develop employability skills through extra-curricular activities. On many courses, a career development module gives credit for work experience, volunteering or part-time employment.

The university is in the top 20 for graduate prospects again this year with about four in five students going into professional jobs or higher-level study. Newcastle is one of those universities most targeted by leading graduate employers.

There are particular research strengths in liver disease, ageing, civil engineering and geography.

The students’ union has been refurbished and a Student Forum created alongside it as a central outdoor social space. The campus also hosts an independent theatre, museum and art gallery.

The already extensive stock of accommodation is being extended in 2014 and rents elsewhere are reasonable. Sport is a particular strength in this sport-obsessed city: a £5.5m sports centre supplements two older venues, which have been extensively refurbished.

学生观点Student view

Claire Boothman, students’ union president

First impressions

The campus has character and makes a big impression with its spires, red bricks and modern art.

Worst feature

You may have to find another way home to avoid the cohort of people handing out leaflets and wristbands to clubs.

Making a difference

We put on our own Take Me Out for rag week, which was a lot of fun.

Deal clincher

Newcastle is big but it feels small and accessible.
