History of Newcastle University

The School of Medicine and Surgery, founded in 1834, and Armstrong College, founded in 1871, are Newcastle University's forerunners. In 1937, these two institutions merged to become King's College, which was part of the federal University of Durham. The Durham Colleges were the federal university's other section. King's College was known for pioneering regionally significant applied sciences such as geology, mining, naval architecture, engineering, and agriculture, in addition to giving education in core subjects like mathematics, science, arts, and literature. Newcastle University is renowned across the world at the time as a powerhouse of industrial activity, with a strong civic university serving as its intellectual basis. The federal university was abolished in 1963, and King's College became the modern-day Newcastle University upon Tyne, England, UK. Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), and Association of MBAs have all given the university its seal of approval (AMBA).
