Newcastle University

The University of Newcastle upon Tyne, which trades as Newcastle University, is a public research university in Newcastle upon Tyne in the north-east of England, a red brick university and a founding member of the Russell Group, with about 16,000 undergraduate and 5,600 postgraduate students taught across three faculties, nineteen academic schools, thirteen research institutes and thirty-eight research centres.纽卡斯尔大学正式校名为泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔大学（The University of Newcastle upon Tyne），是位于英格兰东北部纽卡斯尔泰恩河畔的公立研究型大学，属于红砖大学，并且是罗素大学集团的创始成员；全校约有本科生 16,000 人、研究生 5,600 人，教学分布在三个学院、十九个学术院系、十三个研究所与三十八个研究中心。

Its history began with a school of medicine and surgery founded in 1834 and a college of physical science founded in 1871, which merged into King's College in 1937 and became the independent University of Newcastle upon Tyne by an Act of Parliament in 1963, and in 2024 and 2025 the university cut hundreds of posts after a 35 million pound fall in income.学校的历史始于 1834 年创办的医学与外科学校与 1871 年创办的物理科学学院，两者于 1937 年合并为国王学院，并在 1963 年依据议会法案成为独立的泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔大学；2024 至 2025 年，学校在收入减少 3,500 万英镑后裁减了数百个岗位。

History

• The idea of a university in the city was first proposed in 1831 by the physician Thomas Greenhow, in a lecture to the Literary and Philosophical Society, and in 1832 a group of local medics began offering medical lectures in Bell's Court to supplement the apprenticeship system, among them George Fife, who taught materia medica and therapeutics, Samuel Knott, who taught the theory and practice of medicine, the surgeon John Fife, who taught surgery, Alexander Fraser, who taught anatomy and physiology, and Henry Glassford Potter, who taught chemistry.在这座城市办大学的构想，最早由医生托马斯·格林豪于 1831 年在文学与哲学学会的一次讲座上提出；1832 年，一批本地医者开始贝尔法院 的医学讲座以补充学徒制训练，包括讲授药物学与治疗学的乔治·法伊夫、讲授理论与实践医学的塞缪尔·诺特、讲授外科的约翰·法伊夫、讲授解剖生理的亚历山大·弗雷泽，以及讲授化学的亨利·格拉斯福德·波特。

• The first session began on 1 October 1832 with eight or nine students, including John Snow, then apprenticed to a local surgeon-apothecary, and the opening lecture was delivered by John Fife, so that the lecture series that became the university had already gathered a group later recognised as its founders by the time it was formally constituted.首期课程于 1832 年 10 月 1 日开课，学生仅八九人，其中包括当时在本地一位外科药剂师处当学徒的约翰·斯诺，开课讲座由约翰·法伊夫主讲；后来被视为学校创办人的那批人，在讲座正式建制之时已经聚集在一起。

• The lectures and practical demonstrations moved in 1834 to the hall of the Company of Barber Surgeons to accommodate the growing number of students, and the School of Medicine and Surgery was formally established on 1 October 1834, which is the date the university treats as its own foundation.为容纳不断增加的学生，讲座与实际操作演示于 1834 年迁入理发外科医师公会会馆；同年 10 月 1 日，医学与外科学校正式设立，学校也把这一天视为自己的创校日。

• On 25 June 1851, following a dispute among the teaching staff, the school was formally dissolved and the lecturers split into two rival institutions, the majority forming the Newcastle College of Medicine and the others establishing the Newcastle upon Tyne College of Medicine and Practical Science with competing lecture courses, a duplication of effort that the later merger would end.1851 年 6 月 25 日，因教师之间发生争执，学校正式解散，讲课者分裂为两个彼此竞争的机构：多数人组建纽卡斯尔医学院，其余人则另立纽卡斯尔泰恩医学与实用科学学院，开设相互竞争的课程；这种重复投入最终由后来的合并终结。

• The majority college was recognised by the Society of Apothecaries in July 1851 and by the Royal College of Surgeons of England in October, was approved by the University of London in January 1852 to submit its students for London medical degree examinations, and later in 1852 was formally linked to the University of Durham as the Newcastle upon Tyne College of Medicine in connection with that university.人数较多的一所医学院于 1851 年 7 月获得药剂师协会认可，同年 10 月获英格兰皇家外科医学院认可，1852 年 1 月又获伦敦大学批准，可将学生送往伦敦接受医学学位考核；同年稍后，它正式与杜伦大学挂钩，成为「与杜伦大学相连的纽卡斯尔泰恩医学院」。

• In 1856 the college awarded its first Licence in Medicine under the auspices of the University of Durham with external examiners from Oxford and London, becoming the first medical examining body in the United Kingdom to institute practical examinations alongside written and viva voce examinations, and the two colleges finally amalgamated in 1857 with the first session of the unified college opening on 3 October of that year.1856 年，该学院在杜伦大学主持下颁出首个医学与外科学士学位证书，外考官来自牛津与伦敦，成为英国第一个在笔试与口试之外引入实际考试的医学考核机构；两所学院最终于 1857 年合并，统一学院的开学首课在当年 10 月 3 日开始。

• In 1861 the degree of Master of Surgery was introduced, allowing a double qualification of Licence of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery alongside the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Doctor of Medicine, although the latter two still required residence in Durham, and in 1870 the college was brought into closer connection with the university as the Durham University College of Medicine, the Reader in Medicine becoming Professor of Medicine and the college gaining a representative on the senate.1861 年，学校增设外科硕士学位，使学生可同时取得医学执照与外科学士学位，并可继续攻读医学学士与医学博士学位，尽管后两者仍须在杜伦居住；1870 年，该学院以「杜伦大学医学院」之名与大学建立更紧密的联系，医学讲师升任医学教授，学院并取得校参议会的席位。

• The teaching of science in the city was finally achieved with the foundation of the College of Physical Science in 1871, which offered mathematics, physics, chemistry and geology to meet the growing needs of the mining industry, became the Durham College of Physical Science in 1883 and was renamed Armstrong College in 1904 after William George Armstrong, so that the two Newcastle institutions together formed the Newcastle division of the federal University of Durham.城市中的科学教学最终在 1871 年物理科学学院的创办中落地，该院开设数学、物理、化学与地质学课程，以满足采矿业日益增长的需求；1883 年改称杜伦物理科学学院，1904 年以威廉·乔治·阿姆斯特朗之名改为阿姆斯特朗学院。两所纽卡斯尔机构合起来，构成联邦制杜伦大学的纽卡斯尔分部。

• The University of Durham Act of 1908 made the university federal with two divisions in Durham and Newcastle, and by 1908 the Newcastle division was already teaching a full range of subjects in the Faculties of Medicine, Arts and Science, including agriculture and engineering, so that the city already had a complete university curriculum under the Durham banner.1908 年的《杜伦大学法》把大学改为联邦制，在杜伦与纽卡斯尔设两个分部；至 1908 年，纽卡斯尔分部已在医学院、文学院与理学院开设完整门类，其中还包括农业与工程，也就是说杜伦大学名下这座城市已经拥有一整套大学课程。

• Throughout the early twentieth century the medical and science colleges outgrew their Durham counterparts, and after tensions between the two Newcastle colleges in the early 1930s a royal commission recommended in 1934 that they be merged into a single King's College, Durham, which the University of Durham Act of 1935 duly effected so that the Newcastle colleges merged to form King's College in 1937.20 世纪上半叶，医学与科学两所学院的发展速度超过杜伦方面；1930 年代初纽卡斯尔两院关系紧张后，1934 年的一个皇家委员会建议合并为单一的「国王学院（杜伦）」，1935 年的《杜伦大学法》予以落实，纽卡斯尔两院于 1937 年合并为国王学院。

• Continued growth of both divisions produced tensions within the federal structure and a sense that it was too large to manage as one body, and on 1 August 1963 the Universities of Durham and Newcastle upon Tyne Act, which received royal assent on 10 July 1963, separated the two and created the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, which inherited the coat of arms originally granted to the council of King's College in 1937.两个分部的持续扩张使联邦架构内部矛盾加剧，也让人认为它已大到难以一体管理；1963 年 7 月 10 日获王室批准的《杜伦与纽卡斯尔泰恩大学法》于同年 8 月 1 日生效，把两者分开，设立泰恩河畔纽卡斯尔大学，并沿用 1937 年授予国王学院管理委员会的纹章。

• In 1967 Newcastle became the only British university to confer an honorary degree on Martin Luther King, a distinction commemorated fifty years later in 2017 by a statue erected in the inner courtyard of the Armstrong Building, and the portrait of the two cities that had been merged, Durham and Newcastle, is still carried in the bas-relief arms above the Students' Union portico.1967 年，纽卡斯尔成为全英唯一授予马丁·路德·金荣誉学位的大学；五十年后的 2017 年，学校在阿姆斯特朗大楼内院为其立像以志纪念。曾在 1908 至 1963 年间合为一体的杜伦与纽卡斯尔两座城市的形象，至今仍留在学生会门廊上方的浮雕纹章里。

• Economics teaching ran at Newcastle from the 1900 and 1901 academic year, when the subject was called political economy, which makes it the oldest department of what only much later became the Business School, and Armstrong College appointed Albert George Latham as its first professor of modern languages in 1911, twenty years before the university existed in its present form.自 1900 至 1901 学年起，纽卡斯尔就开设经济学（当时称政治经济学）教学，这使它成为后来才成立的管理学院中历史最悠久的院系；而阿姆斯特朗学院早在 1911 年便任命了首位现代语言学教授阿尔伯特·乔治·拉瑟姆，比这所大学以现有形式出现还早二十年。

• The Armstrong Building was constructed in three stages, the north-east wing first at a cost of 18,000 pounds and opened by Princess Louise on 5 November 1888, the south-east wing including the Jubilee Tower and the south-west wings in 1894, and the north-west front forming the main entrance in 1906, with later work financed largely by the metallurgist and former Lord Mayor of Newcastle Isaac Lowthian Bell, after whom the main tower is named.阿姆斯特朗大楼分三期建成：东北翼最早落成，造价 1.8 万英镑，1888 年 11 月 5 日由路易丝公主揭幕；东南翼（含禧年塔）与西南翼于 1894 年落成；西北正立面作为主入口于 1906 年建成。后来的工程多由冶金学家、纽卡斯尔前市长艾萨克·洛西安·贝尔出资，主塔即以他命名。

• The Union building was built in 1924 after a generous gift from an anonymous donor now believed to have been Sir Cecil Cochrane, a major benefactor of the university, designed in the neo-Jacobean style by the local architect Robert Burns Dick and opened on 22 October 1925 by Lord Eustace Percy, and it is a Grade II listed building.学生会大楼建于 1924 年，出资者是如今被认为是学校大捐助者塞西尔·科赫伦爵士的一位匿名恩人；大楼由本地建筑师罗伯特·伯恩斯·迪克以新詹姆斯一世风格设计，1925 年 10 月 22 日由尤斯塔斯·珀西勋爵揭幕，现为英国二级登录建筑。

• The university opened its first overseas branch in September 2008 in Singapore as a marine campus named NUMI Singapore, which later broadened beyond marine subjects and became Newcastle University Singapore largely through becoming an overseas university partner of the Singapore Institute of Technology, and in 2011 the medical school opened Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia at Iskandar Puteri in the state of Johor.2008 年 9 月，学校在新加坡设立首个海外分部，最初是名为 NUMI Singapore 的海洋分校；此后课程超出海洋领域，并主要通过成为新加坡理工学院的海外合作院校而发展为纽卡斯尔大学新加坡校区。2011 年，医学院在柔佛州新山市设立纽卡斯尔大学马来西亚医学院。

• A London campus was opened in 2015 in partnership with INTO University Partnerships and closed again in 2021, and on the home campus plans for additions and improvements were made public in March 2008 and completed in 2010 at a cost of 200 million pounds, including the redevelopment of the south-east Haymarket facade with a five-storey King's Gate administration building, new student accommodation and two new buildings for the school of medicine.学校于 2015 年与 INTO 大学合作在伦敦设立校区，并于 2021 年关闭；而在本校，校区扩建与改造方案于 2008 年 3 月对外公布、2010 年以 2 亿英镑完工，内容包括重建海伊市场一带的东南立面并新建五层的国王门行政楼、新增学生住宿，以及为医学院新建的两座楼。

• The most recent structural change has been financial rather than physical, with income falling by 35 million pounds in 2024, which the local branch of the Universities and Colleges Union called a crisis, savings of 15 million pounds already made leaving a deficit of 20 million pounds, academic promotions cancelled, a voluntary redundancy scheme announced, a consultative ballot held by the union in November 2024, and cuts of 300 full-time jobs proposed from 20 January 2025.最近的结构性变化发生在财务而非建筑层面：2024 年收入减少 3,500 万英镑，被高校与学院工会当地分支称为危机；已完成的 1,500 万英镑节支仍留下 2,000 万英镑赤字；学校取消学术晋升、宣布自愿裁员方案，工会在 2024 年 11 月举行协商投票，并自 2025 年 1 月 20 日起提出裁减 300 个全职岗位。

Academics

• Teaching and research are organised into three faculties, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Medical Sciences and the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering, together spanning nineteen academic schools, from the Newcastle University Business School and Newcastle Law School to the School of Computing and the School of Dental Sciences, plus thirteen research institutes including the Population Health Sciences Institute, the Biosciences Institute, the Translational and Clinical Research Institute and the Digital Institute.教学与科研分布在三个学院之中，即人文与社会科学学院、医学科学院，以及科学、农业与工程学院，共涵盖十九个学术院系，从纽卡斯尔大学商学院、纽卡斯尔法学院到计算机学院与牙科学院；另设十三个研究所，包括人口健康科学研究所、生物科学研究所、转化与临床研究所和数字研究所。

• The university has around 16,000 undergraduate and 5,600 postgraduate students, offers roughly 175 full-time undergraduate degree programmes and about 340 postgraduate taught and research programmes, and its five main teaching areas are agriculture, forestry and agricultural science, architecture, English, geography, linguistics and modern languages, social policy and administration, anatomy and physiology, dentistry, medicine and organic biology.学校约有本科生 16,000 人、研究生 5,600 人，开设约 175 个全日制本科课程与约 340 个研究生授课及研究课程；其主要优势领域包括农林与农业科学、建筑学、英语、地理学、语言学与现代语言、社会政策与行政、解剖生理、牙医学、医学与有机生物学。

• Financially the university is substantial, with total income of 618.7 million pounds in 2024 to 2025, of which 133.8 million pounds came from research grants and contracts, against expenditure of 621 million pounds, and an earlier year to 31 July 2024 showed tuition fees and education contracts of 307.4 million pounds, research income of 126.1 million pounds and endowments of 94.8 million pounds, the sixteenth largest of any British university.在财务规模上学校相当可观：2024 至 2025 学年总收入 6.187 亿英镑，其中 1.338 亿英镑来自科研资助与合同，支出为 6.21 亿英镑；截至 2024 年 7 月 31 日的年度数据显示，学费与教育合同收入 3.074 亿英镑、科研收入 1.261 亿英镑、捐赠基金 9,480 万英镑，在英国大学中规模列第十六位。

• Teaching strengths are marked in the 2024 subject tables, where the university's degree areas in urban architecture and planning, education, computing and information technology, civil and electronic engineering, environmental science, law, marine technology, mechanical engineering, medicine and biomedical science, museology, and linguistics sit near the top nationally, and in the arts and design, linguistics, urban planning, geography and architecture its departments rank among the leading ten in the country.在 2024 年学科排名中，学校的城市建筑与规划、教育、计算机与信息技术、土木与电子工程、环境科学、法律、海洋技术、机械工程、医学与生物医学、博物馆学以及语言学等方向位居全国前列；在艺术与设计、语言学、城市规划、地理学与建筑学方面，其院系跻身全国前十。

• Research performance is measured in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, which assesses the quality of research across United Kingdom higher education, and there Newcastle ranked joint 33rd by grade point average and 15th for research power, the latter weighting the score by the number of researchers submitted, as a member of the Russell Group of 24 research-intensive universities.英国科研质量以 2021 年研究卓越框架评估，纽卡斯尔在其中按平均得分列并列第 33 位、按科研实力列第 15 位；后者以得分乘以送审研究人员数加权计算。学校是 24 所研究型大学组成的罗素大学集团成员。

• Newcastle University Business School is a triple accredited business school holding accreditation from all three major bodies, and it offers a flagship accelerated route to the chartered accountancy qualification developed with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2002, and its own building on the former Scottish and Newcastle brewery site beside St James' Park was officially opened on 19 March 2012.纽卡斯尔大学商学院是获得三大认证机构全面认证的三重认证商学院；2002 年，该院与英格兰及威尔士特许会计师协会和普华永道合作开设通往特许会计师资格的加速培养项目，并成为其旗舰课程；学院位于圣詹姆斯公园旁原苏格兰与纽卡斯尔啤酒厂旧址的新楼于 2012 年 3 月 19 日正式启用。

• The medical faculty has a strong record, since the journal BMC Medicine reported in 2008 that medical graduates from Oxford, Cambridge and Newcastle performed better in postgraduate tests than graduates of any other British medical school, and the Royal Victoria Infirmary next door has long been a major teaching hospital for the Faculty of Medical Sciences, while graduates of the Malaysian medical school have been excluded from priority access to the United Kingdom Foundation Programme by the Medical Training Act of 2026.医学院成绩斐然：医学期刊《英国医学杂志 BMC》2008 年报道，牛津、剑桥与纽卡斯尔的医学毕业生在毕业后考试中表现优于英国其他任何医学院的毕业生；毗邻校园的皇家维多利亚医院 长期以来是医学科学院的主要教学医院；而马来西亚医学院的毕业生，已被 2026 年《医学培训法》排除在英国住院医师培训的优先录取之外。

• The School of Modern Languages consists of five sections, East Asian studies including Japanese and Chinese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American studies, and translating and interpreting, and it hosts the only branches in North East England of both the Camoes Institute for Portuguese and the Confucius Institute, so that the region has a direct institutional link to Portugal and to China.现代语言学院由五个分部组成：东亚研究（含日语与汉语）、法语、德语、西班牙语葡萄牙语与拉美研究，以及笔译与口译；学院还承办了卡莫埃斯学会与孔子学院在英格兰东北部的唯一分支，使本地区与葡萄牙、中国建立起直接的机构联系。

• Newcastle Law School is the longest established law school in the north-east of England, teaching began in the city's predecessor college before it became independent from Durham, and it occupies four specially adapted late-Victorian town houses which contain the staff offices, an alumni lecture theatre, seminar rooms and the law library, so that legal research at Newcastle takes place in listed nineteenth-century houses rather than a purpose-built faculty building.纽卡斯尔法学院是英格兰东北部历史最悠久的法学院，教学早在其前身在脱离杜伦之前就已开始；学院占据四栋经过专门改造的维多利亚晚期的联排住宅，内设教职办公室、校友报告厅、研讨室与法学院图书馆——纽卡斯尔的法学研究因此是在登录在册的十九世纪老宅中进行的，而非在一座专门建造的院系楼里。

• The School of Computing is ranked in the world top 100 by Times Higher Education and researches human-computer interaction and ubiquitous computing, secure and resilient systems, synthetic biology, scalable computing covering high performance systems, data science, machine learning and data visualisation, and advanced modelling, and it also led the formation of the National Innovation Centre for Data.计算机学院在《泰晤士高等教育》世界百强之列，研究方向包括人机交互与普适计算、安全与弹性系统、合成生物学、可扩展计算（涵盖高性能系统、数据科学、机器学习与数据可视化）以及高级建模；该院还牵头组建了国家数据创新中心。

• A distinctive research asset is the Emerson Cavitation Tunnel, founded in 1950 in the marine science and technology department and the second largest cavitation tunnel in the United Kingdom, used as a test basin for propellers, water turbines, underwater coatings and the interaction of propellers with ice, and it has recently been relocated to a new facility in Blyth.一项独特的研究设施是 1950 年创办、隶属海洋科学与技术系的艾默森空化水洞，它是英国第二大空化水洞，被用作螺旋桨、水轮机、水下涂层以及螺旋桨与冰相互作用研究的试验水池；近期该水洞已迁至布利斯的新设施。

• Other out-of-town facilities include the Dove Marine Laboratory on Cullercoats Bay and Cockle Park Farm in Northumberland, and the university's civic role is formalised in the Newcastle Institute for Social Renewal, opened in 2012 to address social and economic change and directed by Mark Shucksmith, who is also Professor of Planning, alongside fair trade status granted in 2006 and a smoke-free campus from January 2007.校外设施还包括库勒科茨湾的海鸽海洋实验室与诺森伯兰郡的可克尔公园农场；学校的公民职能则由 2012 年设立的新卡瑟尔社会更新研究所承担，该所研究社会与经济变迁，由同时担任规划学教授的马克·沙克斯米思主持。学校 2006 年获得公平贸易认证，并自 2007 年 1 月起成为无烟校园。

• Governance rests on a Chancellor and a Vice-Chancellor, and the current chancellor is the poet and artist Imtiaz Dharker, who took office on 1 January 2020, while the vice-chancellor is Chris Day, a hepatologist and former pro-vice-chancellor of the faculty of medical sciences, a post he has held since 2017, and the university's own motto is famously absent, a matter left to the motto of its constituent colleges.学校由校监与校长共同治理：现任校监是诗人兼艺术家伊姆蒂亚兹·达尔克，2020 年 1 月 1 日就任；校长则是肝脏病学家克里斯·戴，他曾任医学科学院副院长，2017 年起主持校务。学校本身并无正式校训，相关表述仍沿用各前身学院的口号。

• The student body of 2024 to 2025 was 63 per cent British white, 15 per cent British ethnic minorities, 2 per cent students from the European Union outside Britain and 21 per cent from outside the European Union, women were 53 per cent, 24 per cent had been privately educated and 9 per cent came from low participation areas, and on 2022 to 2023 entry standards the average entrant achieved 151 points.2024 至 2025 学年学生群体中，英国白人占 63%，英国少数族裔占 15%，来自欧盟其他国家（不含英国）的学生占 2%，来自欧盟以外的学生占 21%；女性占 53%，24% 曾就读私立学校，9% 来自低参与地区。按 2022 至 2023 年入学标准数据，入学新生的平均成绩为 151 个分数点。

Campus

• The university occupies a city campus near Haymarket in central Newcastle upon Tyne, lying to the north-west of the city centre between the open spaces of Leazes Park and the Town Moor, with the medical school and the Royal Victoria Infirmary immediately adjacent to the west, so that clinical teaching, laboratory science and the humanities all happen within a short walk of each other in a compact urban setting.学校在纽卡斯尔市中心海伊市场附近拥有一座城区校园，位于市中心西北侧、夹在利兹公园与敦穆尔城郊之间；医学院与皇家维多利亚医院紧邻西侧。因此临床教学、实验室科研与人文学科在一座紧凑的城市校园中彼此触手可及。

• The Armstrong Building is the oldest building on the campus and the site of the original Armstrong College, and inside it King's Hall, the chief ceremonial hall where congregation ceremonies are held, seats 500 and took its name with the permission of King Edward VII, who opened the completed north-west front in 1906, while the Jubilee Tower was built with surplus funds raised by an exhibition held to mark Queen Victoria's Jubilee in 1887.阿姆斯特朗大楼是校园内最古老的建筑，也是当年阿姆斯特朗学院的旧址；楼内的国王礼堂是学校举行全体大会等重要仪式的主要会场，可容纳 500 人，其名称经爱德华七世国王许可使用，国王本人于 1906 年为落成的西北正立面揭幕。禧年塔则用 1887 年为纪念维多利亚女王禧年举办的展览所筹余款建成。

• During the First World War the Armstrong Building was requisitioned by the War Office to create the Northern General Hospital for the Royal Army Medical Corps, in 1949 the Quadrangle beside it was turned into a formal garden in memory of members of the university who gave their lives in the two world wars, and in 2017 a statue of Martin Luther King Jr was erected in the inner courtyard.第一次世界大战期间，阿姆斯特朗大楼被 War Office 征用，改建为皇家陆军医疗队的北方总医院；1949 年，其旁的方庭被改建为正式花园，以纪念在两次世界大战中捐躯的大学成员；2017 年，楼内院立起马丁·路德·金雕像。

• The Bruce Building, a former brewery constructed between 1896 and 1900 on the site of the Hotspur Hotel to a design by the architect Joseph Oswald for the Newcastle Breweries company, was occupied by the university from the 1950s and, after standing empty, was refurbished in 2016 into residential and office space, while the Devonshire Building, opened in 2004, uses photovoltaic cells to power motorised shades, geothermal heating coils and an energy-efficient design that won its architects Hadrian awards and the RICS Building of the Year Award for 2004.布鲁斯大楼原是 1896 至 1900 年间建于哈茨珀旅店旧址的啤酒厂，由建筑师约瑟夫·奥斯瓦尔德为纽卡斯尔酿酒公司设计；学校自 20 世纪 50 年代起使用该楼，空置一段时间后于 2016 年改造为住宅与办公空间。德文郡大楼于 2004 年启用，以光伏电池驱动电动遮阳装置，并采用地热加温线圈与节能设计，其建筑师因此获得哈德良奖与 2004 年皇家特许测量师学会年度建筑奖。

• Across the Haymarket frontage the five-storey King's Gate administration building was completed in 2009 as part of the 2010 development, and the main building of the Newcastle campus partner INTO was finished in September 2012 with 18 new teaching rooms, a learning resource centre, a lecture theatre, a science laboratory, administrative and academic offices and a restaurant, so the eastern edge of the campus has been rebuilt within a decade.在海伊市场一侧，五层的国王门行政楼作为 2010 年整体开发的一部分于 2009 年落成；2012 年 9 月，校内合作方 INTO 的主楼也建成完工，内设 18 间新教室、学习资源中心、报告厅、科学实验室、行政与学术办公室及餐厅。校园东缘在十年内完成重建。

• The library service consists of the Philip Robinson Library, which is the main university library and takes its name from a bookseller in the city who was a benefactor of the library, the Walton Library, which specialises in services for the Faculty of Medical Sciences and is named after a former dean of the faculty and professor of neurology, a Law Library and the Marjorie Robinson Library Rooms, together housing over one million books and 500,000 electronic resources.校图书馆服务由菲利普·罗宾逊图书馆、沃尔顿图书馆、法学院图书馆与玛乔丽·罗宾逊阅览室组成。菲利普·罗宾逊图书馆是学校主馆，以本市一位对图书馆慷慨捐赠的书商命名；沃尔顿图书馆专门服务医学科学院，以该院前院长兼神经学教授沃尔顿勋爵命名。上述馆藏合计逾一百万册图书与 50 万种电子资源。

• Student accommodation is provided in catered and non-catered halls for first-year students around the city, with Jesmond, Heaton, Sandyford, Shieldfield, South Shields and Spital Tongues the popular areas for private houses and flats, while Leazes Terrace, a Grade I listed building designed by Thomas Oliver and built by Richard Grainger between 1829 and 1834, is now student accommodation and Henderson Hall, once a hall of residence, was destroyed by fire in 2023.学校为一年级学生在校内及市区各处提供带餐饮与不带餐饮的宿舍，私人学生公寓与出租房的热门区域是杰斯蒙德、希顿、桑迪福德、希尔菲尔德、南希尔兹与斯皮塔尔唐斯；由托马斯·奥利弗设计、理查德·格兰杰于 1829 至 1834 年建成的英国一级登录建筑利兹台街一处联排宅，现已用作学生宿舍；而曾作宿舍的亨德森楼则在 2023 年毁于火灾。

• Outside the city centre the university runs the Dove Marine Laboratory on Cullercoats Bay and Cockle Park Farm in Northumberland, and it is closely associated with the region's museums, above all the Great North Museum: Hancock, which opened in 1884 and now also holds the collections of the university's former Shefton Museum and Museum of Antiquities, while the Hatton Gallery remains in the Fine Art Building.市中心之外，学校运营库勒科茨湾的海鸽海洋实验室与诺森伯兰郡的可克尔公园农场，并与本地区多家博物馆关系密切，其中以 1884 年开放的汉考克大北方博物馆为核心，该馆如今还收藏着学校已撤销的谢夫顿博物馆与古物博物馆的藏品；哈顿画廊则仍设在美术楼内。

• In the QS World University Rankings 2027 the university places 149th with a score of 61.6, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2027 places it in a band beginning at 154th, and the US News Best Global Universities ranking for 2026 to 2027 places it 170th, a set of positions consistent with a red brick university that has lost volume in teaching but holds a strong research base in the life sciences and computing.在 2027 年 QS 世界大学排名中该校以 61.6 分列第 149 位，在泰晤士高等教育 2027 年世界大学排名中列于第 154 位起的名次区间，在 US News 2026 至 2027 年最佳全球大学排名中列第 170 位。这一组名次与一所招生规模收缩、但在生命科学与计算机领域保持强劲科研实力的红砖大学的处境相符。

• Earlier world editions place Newcastle 110th in the 2023 QS World University Rankings, 139th in the Times Higher Education table and in the 201st to 300th band of the Academic Ranking of World Universities, with the Leiden ranking at 292nd, so that the university sits reliably inside the global top 200 while its domestic standing has been higher.在此前各版世界排名中，学校在 2023 年 QS 世界大学排名中列第 110 位，在泰晤士高等教育榜单中列第 139 位，在学术论文世界大学排名中列于 201 至 300 名区间，莱顿排名为第 292 位。学校稳定处于全球前两百位之列，而其国内地位则更高。

• Nationally the university was ranked joint 33rd by the Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide, 30th by the Complete University Guide and joint 63rd by the Guardian university guide, and it holds Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework, the national quality mark for teaching, which is a mark of a research university that treats undergraduate teaching as a core duty rather than a residual one.在国内，学校在《泰晤士与星期日泰晤士优秀大学指南》中并列第 33 位，在《完全大学指南》中列第 30 位，在《卫报》大学指南中并列第 63 位；学校在代表英国教学质量的国家标志「教学卓越框架」中获得金奖，这是一所把本科教学视为核心职责而非附带任务的科研型大学的标志。

• Its research standing is quantified by the 2021 Research Excellence Framework, in which Newcastle ranked joint 33rd on grade point average and 15th on research power, and the university's own research income of 133.8 million pounds in 2024 to 2025 confirms that the research base has not followed teaching numbers down, an unusual resilience among British red brick institutions.其科研地位由 2021 年研究卓越框架量化：按平均得分并列第 33 位，按科研实力列第 15 位。学校 2024 至 2025 学年 1.338 亿英镑的科研收入也印证了一点——科研基本盘并未随教学规模下滑，这在英国红砖大学中并不多见。

• On the hardest international prizes the record documented here is empty, since no Nobel Prize, Turing Award or Fields Medal laureate is recorded among its alumni or faculty, and the university's most prestigious distinctions are institutional and honorary rather than competitive, above all the honorary degree conferred on Martin Luther King in 1967, which no other British university offered him.在最硬的国际奖项上，此处可查记录是空白的——该校校友与教师中没有诺贝尔奖、图灵奖或菲尔兹奖得主记录。学校最显赫的荣誉是机构性与荣誉性的，而非竞赛性的，其中最著者是 1967 年授予马丁·路德·金的荣誉学位——英国没有其他大学给过他这一学位。

• What the university does hold in its own right are national and disciplinary marks, among them Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework, a 2017 National Teaching Fellowship for innovative teaching in the School of Computing, Guardian Student Publication of the Year awards won by the student newspaper The Courier in 2012 and 2013, and triple accreditation for the Business School from AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.学校真正拥有的，是国内与学科层面的荣誉标记，包括教学卓越框架金奖、计算机学院因创新教学获得的 2017 年国家教学研究会研究员名额、学生报《信使报》在 2012 与 2013 年连续获得的《卫报》年度学生刊物奖，以及商学院来自 AACSB、AMBA 与 EQUIS 的三重认证。

• In the OpenAlex database the university is registered under the identifier I84884186 with 183,223 works and 13,139,135 citations, an output that for an institution of roughly 21,600 students is high and reflects the concentration of its research in the biosciences, the health sciences, computing, materials and engineering.在 OpenAlex 数据库中，该校机构标识为 I84884186，收录作品 183,223 篇、被引 13,139,135 次。对一所约 21,600 名学生的机构而言，这一产出相当可观，也反映出其科研在生物科学、健康科学、计算机、材料与工程等方向的集中。

• Admissions remain highly selective in the British context, since in 2025 the university received 37,575 applications and made 6,780 offers, a ratio of 5.5 applications per offer and an overall offer rate of 77.6 per cent, the university is consistently designated a high-tariff institution with entrants averaging between 137 and 143 UCAS tariff points, 25.1 per cent of its undergraduates were privately educated, and in 2015 it made offers to 92.1 per cent of applicants, the highest proportion in the Russell Group.在英国语境下，录取依然高度选择性：2025 年学校收到 37,575 份申请，发出 6,780 份录取通知，比例为每 5.5 份申请对应一个录取，总体发放率 77.6%；学校一贯被列为高门槛院校，入学新生平均成绩在 137 至 143 个 UCAS 分数点之间，25.1% 的本科生来自私立学校；2015 年学校向 92.1% 的申请者发出录取，为罗素大学集团中最高。

Student life

• The university has no official motto of its own, although the Latin phrase mens agitat molem, meaning mind moves matter, appears on the Students' Union building, above which are bas-relief carvings of the arms and mottoes of the University of Durham, of Armstrong College and of Durham University College of Medicine, the three predecessor institutions whose arms the university inherited in 1963.这所大学本身没有正式校训，尽管拉丁语格言「mens agitat molem」（心灵推动物质）出现在学生会大楼上；其门廊上方是杜伦大学、阿姆斯特朗学院与杜伦大学医学院这三个前身机构纹章与格言的浮雕，学校于 1963 年继承了它们的纹章。

• The students' union, known as Newcastle University Students' Union and called the Union Society until a 2012 rebranding, is run by seven paid sabbatical officers including a welfare and equality officer together with ten part-time unpaid officer posts and about 300 people in ancillary roles, and it supports the student societies, clubs and campaigns that make up the bulk of student representation.学生会全称纽卡斯尔大学学生会，2012 年改名前称「协会社团」，由七名带薪的全职学生官员（其中包括福利与平等事务官员）与十个兼职无偿职位运营，另有约 300 人从事辅助工作，并支持构成学生代表工作主体的各学生社团、俱乐部与行动。

• The Courier, a weekly student newspaper established in 1948, has a current weekly readership of about 12,000, most of them students of the university, is published every Monday during term time, and won The Guardian's Student Publication of the Year award twice in succession in 2012 and 2013, which makes it one of the most decorated student papers in the country.《信使报》是一份创刊于 1948 年的学生周报，目前每周读者约 12,000 人，其中多数为本校学生，每学期每周一出版；它在 2012 与 2013 年连续两年获得《卫报》年度学生刊物奖，是全国获奖最多的学生报纸之一。

• Student broadcasting runs through Newcastle Student Radio, which produces music, news, talk and sport shows across a wide range of musical tastes, and through NUTV, a student television channel established in 2007 and known as TCTV from 2010 to 2017, which produces live and on-demand coverage of events as well as its own student-made programmes.学生广播由纽卡斯尔学生电台与 NUTV 学生电视频道承担：前者制作音乐、新闻、谈话与体育节目，覆盖广泛音乐品味；后者创立于 2007 年，2010 至 2017 年间名为 TCTV，制作活动的现场与点播内容以及学生自制节目。

• Sport is unusually prominent for a university of this size, with Newcastle consistently ranked in the top 12 of 152 institutions in the British Universities and Colleges Sport tables, more than 50 student-led sports clubs supported by staff and facilities across four sites, a Northumberland Senior Cup win in rugby in 1965, the Stan Calvert Cup held against Northumbria University from 1994 to 2018 and a Boat Race of the North contested with the University of Durham.体育在这所规模不算大的大学里格外突出：学校在英国大学与学院体育联合会 152 家机构的排名中稳定位居前 12 名，拥有五十多个学生自办体育俱乐部与分布于四处场地的设施，橄榄球曾在 1965 年赢得诺森伯兰高级杯；斯坦·卡尔弗特杯自 1994 年至 2018 年与北安大学争夺，北方小艇赛则与杜伦大学对抗。

• Cochrane Park, the university's sports facility, was a training venue for the football teams that competed at St James' Park during the 2012 London Olympics, and Newcastle University Football Club competes in the Northern League, so that the city's sporting life and the university's are closely intertwined rather than merely adjacent.学校的科克伦公园体育设施曾作为 2012 年伦敦奥运会在圣詹姆斯公园举行赛事的球队训练场地，纽卡斯尔大学足球俱乐部则参加北部联赛二级赛区。城市的体育生活与大学体育由此紧密交织，而非仅仅毗邻。

• Beyond sport, the union organises welfare, equality and representation work, and the university signed over one hundred agreements with overseas universities allowing reciprocal student exchange, while its civic commitments are documented in fair trade status granted in 2006 and a smoke-free campus from January 2007, both of which predate most of the sector.体育之外，学生会还组织福利、平等与权益工作；学校与海外高校签署了逾一百份互惠学生交换协议。其公民承诺亦有据可查：2006 年取得公平贸易认证，2007 年 1 月起成为无烟校园，两者都早于同行业的大多数学校。

Notable people

• Thomas Greenhow proposed in 1831 that a university be established in Newcastle upon Tyne, and the medical practitioners George Fife, Samuel Knott, John Fife, Alexander Fraser and Henry Glassford Potter began the lectures of 1832 that became the School of Medicine and Surgery in 1834, so that the physician who suggested the idea and the surgeons who taught the first courses stand together as the founders of the institution.托马斯·格林豪于 1831 年提出应在纽卡斯尔泰恩设立大学；1832 年，乔治·法伊夫、塞缪尔·诺特、约翰·法伊夫、亚历山大·弗雷泽与亨利·格拉斯福德·波特开出了最早的讲座，这批讲座在 1834 年发展为医学与外科学校。提出设校构想的医生与讲授首批课程的两位外科医生，因而并列成为这所机构的创办人。

• John Snow was among the eight or nine students present at the first session on 1 October 1832, while apprenticed to a local surgeon-apothecary, and he went on to administer chloroform to Queen Victoria in childbirth in 1853 and to map the cholera outbreak in the Soho district of London in 1854, an investigation generally credited as the founding of modern epidemiology.1832 年 10 月 1 日首期课程开课时仅有八九名学生，约翰·斯诺正在本地一位外科药剂师处当学徒，也是其中之一；他后来于 1853 年在为维多利亚女王接生时施行氯仿麻醉，并于 1854 年绘制伦敦索霍区的霍乱传播图，这场调查通常被视为现代流行病学的开端。

• The university was headed at its creation by Charles Bosanquet as vice-chancellor from 1963 to 1968 and by the Hugh Percy, tenth Duke of Northumberland, as chancellor from 1963 to 1988, and it inherited in 1963 the coat of arms first granted in 1937 to the council of King's College, so that the arms on today's documents still belong to a body founded seven years before the university existed.学校成立之初，由查尔斯·博赞基特于 1963 至 1968 年出任校长，由第十代诺森伯兰公爵休·珀西于 1963 至 1988 年担任校监；学校在 1963 年沿用了 1937 年授予国王学院管理委员会的纹章，因此今日文件上的纹章，其归属机构比大学本身早诞生了七年。

• Recent heads of the university include Imtiaz Dharker, the poet and artist who has been chancellor since 1 January 2020, Chris Day, the hepatologist who has been vice-chancellor since 2017, Chris Patten, chancellor from 1999 to 2009 and before that Governor of Hong Kong from 1993 to 1996, and Liam Donaldson, chancellor from 2009 to 2019 and Chief Medical Officer for England from 1999 to 2005.学校近年的负责人包括：诗人兼艺术家伊姆蒂亚兹·达尔克，2020 年 1 月 1 日起任校监；肝脏病学家克里斯·戴，2017 年起任校长；1999 至 2009 年任校监的克里斯·帕滕，其此前于 1993 至 1996 年任香港总督；以及 2009 至 2019 年任校监、1999 至 2005 年任英格兰首席医疗官的利亚姆·唐纳森。

• Civic and ceremonial figures attached to the university include King Edward VII, who opened the completed north-west front of the Armstrong Building in 1906 and permitted the naming of King's Hall, Princess Louise, who opened the first wing on 5 November 1888, Lord Eustace Percy, who opened the Union building in 1925 and served as Rector of King's College from 1937 to 1952, Sir Cecil Cochrane, the anonymous donor of the Union building, and Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell, the Lord Mayor of Newcastle who financed its tower.与学校关系密切的市政与礼宾人物包括：1906 年为阿姆斯特朗大楼西北正立面揭幕、并批准使用「国王礼堂」名称的爱德华七世国王；1888 年 11 月 5 日为该楼首翼揭幕的路易丝公主；1925 年为学生会大楼揭幕、并于 1937 至 1952 年担任国王学院院长的尤斯塔斯·珀西勋爵；学生会大楼那位匿名出资者塞西尔·科赫伦爵士；以及出资兴建主塔的纽卡斯尔市长艾萨克·洛西安·贝尔爵士。

• Academic figures of the earlier period include the engineer William George Armstrong, after whom the College of Physical Science was renamed in 1904, the economists Harry Mainwaring Hallsworth and Stanley Dennison, both holders of the Sir David Dale chair, and the scholar Albert George Latham, who in 1911 became the first professor of modern languages in Newcastle.早期学界人物包括工程师威廉·乔治·阿姆斯特朗，物理科学学院 1904 年以他命名；经济学家哈里·梅因瓦林·霍尔斯沃思与斯坦利·丹尼森，二人均担任过戴尔爵士讲席教授；以及学者阿尔伯特·乔治·拉瑟姆，他于 1911 年成为纽卡斯尔首位现代语言学教授。

• Among graduates are Rowan Atkinson, who studied electrical engineering at Newcastle and became known worldwide as Mr Bean, the architect Sir Terry Farrell, who studied at the university before designing buildings from Hong Kong to the Tyne, and William Armstrong, the engineer whose Armstrong Whitworth company grew out of the Newcastle armaments works.毕业生中有名声远播的喜剧演员罗温·阿金森（以「憨豆先生」形象为全球熟知），他在纽卡斯尔攻读电气工程；著名建筑师特里·菲雷罗爵士也曾在此求学，其作品从香港到泰恩河畔均有分布；还有工程师威廉·阿姆斯特朗，其阿姆斯特朗-惠特沃斯公司正是从纽卡斯尔的兵工厂发展而来。

• Public figures who studied at Newcastle include Constance Briscoe, described as the first black woman to sit as a judge in Britain, Bruce Babbitt, governor of the twentieth state of Arizona from 1978 to 1987, Alexander Downer, the Australian politician who served as foreign minister, Milton Margai, the first prime minister of Sierra Leone, and Princess Eugenie, a granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II.在纽卡斯尔求学的公众人物包括：被称为英国首位出任法官的黑人女性的康斯坦斯·布里斯科；1978 至 1987 年任亚利桑那州州长的布鲁斯·巴比特；曾任澳大利亚外交部长的亚历山大·唐纳；塞拉利昂首任首相米尔顿·玛盖；以及伊丽莎白二世女王的孙女尤金妮公主。

• Chinese and Chinese-descended members of the university community include Lee Ann Lee, the Taiwanese sociologist who is the second daughter of the former president of the Republic of China, Lee Teng-hui, Zhang Mingtao, the Chinese scholar and educator of electrical engineering who has been honoured as a master of electromechanical engineering, Zhu Hua, the linguist, and the Hong Kong singer Feng Kaiqi.与华人相关的校友与成员包括：台湾社会学者李安妮，即中华民国前总统李登辉的次女；中国电机工程界著名学者与教育家、有「机电泰斗」之称的章名涛；语言学家祝华；以及香港歌手冯凯淇。

• On hard academic honours the university's record is honestly thin, since no Nobel Prize, Turing Award or Fields Medal laureate appears among its alumni or faculty, and what it holds instead are the 1967 honorary degree for Martin Luther King conferred by no other British university, the 2017 National Teaching Fellowship awarded to the School of Computing for innovative teaching, the 2012 and 2013 Guardian Student Publication of the Year awards won by The Courier, and Gold in the Teaching Excellence Framework.在学术硬荣誉上，学校的记录确实单薄——校友与教师中没有诺贝尔奖、图灵奖或菲尔兹奖得主。它真正拥有的是：1967 年授予马丁·路德·金的荣誉学位，英国无第二校给过；计算机学院因创新教学获 2017 年国家教学研究会研究员名额；学生报《信使报》2012 与 2013 年两度获《卫报》年度学生刊物奖；以及教学卓越框架金奖。
