Newcastle University, UK, is a thriving international community of 16,000 undergraduate students and 6,000 postgraduate students. Our vision is of Newcastle as a civic university with a global reputation for academic excellence.
As a member of the Russell Group of research intensive universities in the UK we have a world-class reputation for research excellence and are in the UK’s top twelve for research power in Science and Engineering. We strive for excellence with a purpose, and to this end are tackling three major challenges that have a significant impact on global society: Ageing, Sustainability, and Social Renewal. We organise much of our research and teaching to addressing these three Societal Challenge themes.
