History
Established in 1834 as the School of Medicine and Surgery, Newcastle University's roots can be traced back to Armstrong College in 1871. In 1937, these two institutions joined forces to create the University of Durham, which included King's College. The university's success spanned various disciplines, including science, mathematics, naval architecture, engineering, and the arts. During the industrialization period, Newcastle University played a crucial role in shaping the civic life of Newcastle. Subsequently, in 1963, the federal University was dissolved, and King's College emerged as Newcastle University.
