About

In 1937, both of these schools were combined to create King’s College. The college then gained university status and was renamed the University of Newcastle in 1963. Over half the degrees they offer are accredited by prestigious organisations such as EFMD Quality Improvement System (EQUIS), Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AASCB), and Association of MBAs (AMBA).
