The University of Newcastle is home to a diverse and cosmopolitan community with over 2,500 international students from over 100 countries worldwide.
Located in the north-east of England, Newcastle was recently named one of the most exciting party cities in the UK ranking higher than London, Glasgow and Leeds.
The university accommodation available is a mixture of catered Halls of Residence, and self-catering houses and flats.
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.
