History

The University has its origins in the School of Medicine and Surgery which was established in Newcastle in October 1834, providing basic lectures and practical demonstrations to around 26 students. In June 1851, following a dispute amongst the teaching staff, the School was split into two rival institutions: the majority forming the Newcastle College of Medicine, with the others establishing themselves as the Newcastle upon Tyne College of Medicine and Practical Science. By 1852 the majority college was formally linked to the University of Durham and its teaching certificates were recognized by the University of London for graduation in medicine. The two colleges amalgamated in 1857 and renamed the University of Durham College of Medicine in 1870. This article is about a city in the United Kingdom. ...

Attempts to realise a place for the teaching of sciences in the city were finally met with the foundation of the 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 Armstrong College in 1904. Block quote Sir William George Armstrong William George Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong (November 26, 1810 – December 27, 1900) was an English industrialist, the effective founder of the Armstrong Whitworth manufacturing empire. ...


Throughout the early 20th century, the medical and science colleges vastly outpaced the growth of their Durham counterparts and a Royal Commission in 1934 recommended the merger of the two colleges to form King's College, Durham. In states that are Commonwealth Realms a Royal Commission is a major government public inquiry into an issue. ...


Growth of the Newcastle Division of the federal Durham University led to tensions within the structure and in 1963 an Act of Parliament separated the two, creating the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and leaving Durham as an 'Oxbridge'-style collegiate university. An Act of Parliament or Act is law enacted by the parliament (see legislation). ...

Newcastle University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (628 words)
The University has its origins in the College of Medicine which was established in the city in 1834, and formally became a college of Durham University in 1851.
Growth of the Newcastle Division of the federal Durham University led to tensions within the structure and in 1963 an Act of Parliament separated the two divisions, leaving Durham as an 'Oxbridge'-style collegiate university and creating the University of Newcastle upon Tyne as a civic university similar to Hull, Leicester, Nottingham and Southampton.
Though Newcastle was the subject of the Channel 4 'Redbrick' documentary in 1986 it is not often considered to be either a redbrick or a plate glass university.
