School establishment time
Kiel University was founded in 1949, formerly known as University College of North Staffordshire. The university was founded by A. D. Lindsay, and later obtained a master's degree from Beliol College of Oxford University.
Lindsay is a staunch advocate of working-class adult education. He first put forward the idea of "People's University" in his speech at the North Staffordshire Workers' Education Association. 1March 946 13, Lindsay wrote to Sir Walter moberly, Chairman of the University Grants Committee, proposing to establish a new university. According to the system at that time, the newly-built university was not qualified for degree awarding, and the newly-built university could only obtain an off-campus degree from London University. Lindsay advocates that new universities can set up their own courses with the assistance of mature universities, and hopes to lift the restrictions on off-campus degrees in London. Lindsay also wrote to the vice president of Oxford University, hoping to get such assistance.
Finally, the Stoke-on-Trent City Council set up an experimental committee, with Lindsay as its chairman. The committee was supported by the Etruscan priest and the leader of the labor group of the city council, Councillor Thomas Horwood. In 1948 65438+ 10, the committee obtained public funds from the University Grants Committee, from which it purchased Keele Hall, a magnificent residence in the suburb of Lyme River in Newcastle. Kiel Hall, the ancestral home of Snyder family, was requisitioned by the War Department for military use during World War II. The Committee bought a large number of Snyder family properties and many unfinished houses built by the army at a price of 365,438+0,000. As a result, university college entered a stage of stable development, and 1962 was upgraded to a university degree. In that year 1 month, it was awarded the Royal Charter of the Year and officially adopted the name of Kiel University. Although all universities now use Kiel University, Kiel University is still an officially recognized university name. After obtaining the university qualification, Kiel became the second new university in Britain after the University of Sussex 196 1 obtained the royal charter. 1968, the Royal Committee on Medical Education signed a feasibility report on setting up a medical school in Kiel University (commonly known as Todd Report). According to the report, North Staffordshire, with a large population and several large hospitals, will be an ideal place to build a new medical school. However, considering the economic and educational effects, to set up a medical school in Kiel University, at least 150 students should be enrolled every year. At that stage, the scale of Kiel University was still too small to support such a medical school. But 1978, the medical graduate school of Kiel University was established. This college is engaged in medical research and participates in postgraduate medical education, but does not teach undergraduates. In 2002, students of Manchester Medical College began to take classes in Kiel, and finally in 2007, Kiel Medical College was formally established.
1994, the independent colleges once located in Robert John and Ali Hunt Plastic Surgery Hospital-Oswich and North Staffordshire Physiotherapy College merged into Kiel University, and moved from Oswich to the campus of Kiel University. 1In August, 1995, Kiel University merged with North Staffordshire College of Nursing and Obstetrics to form a new College of Nursing and Obstetrics. Kiel University currently has more than 5,600 full-time students; 1300 part-time students; And about 4000 students in vocational courses or short-term courses. Keele University is committed to continuous growth, with the goal of reaching the scale of 65,438+00,000 full-time students.
