School introduction:
Newcastle University can be traced back to Newcastle Teachers College, which was established in 1949 and Newcastle University College NUC, which was established in 195 1. Newcastle University College was established as a branch of New South Wales University of Science and Technology.
At the beginning of the school, NUC had only five full-time students, and their studies were limited to engineering, mathematics and science. In 1950s and early 1960s, the local residents of Newcastle hoped to establish a university that really belonged to Newcastle, not a branch of other schools.
At the strong demand of local residents, Newcastle University was formally established on 1965 65438+ 10/0/under the draft of Newcastle University 1964. Newcastle University celebrates Independence Day every July 1 Sunday.
