Newcastle University School of Medicine

In 1834 the lectures and practical demonstrations moved 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.

[2][3][4] On 25 June 1851, following a dispute among the teaching staff, the school was formally dissolved and the lecturers split into two rival institutions.

During each of these three years, students are based at an LEP (Local education provider) which roughly corresponds to an NHS Trust.

After, the 4th year, the medical schools also offers students the opportunity to undertake a Master's degree or MRes.

[16] According to UCAS, Cambridge, Oxford and Newcastle are the most academically selective universities for entry to study medicine in the United Kingdom.

[18] Prospective students applying to the medical school for both the standard (5-year) and accelerated (4-year) programmes are required to sit the UCAT admission test.

[19] The most recent UCAT cut-off for invitation to interview for the A100 and A101 courses was 2730 and 2920 respectively for 2020 entry (scores in the 85th and 95th percentile of test-takers).

[20] In 2008 the university announced that they were entering into an agreement to establish an international branch campus in Malaysia for the teaching of medical subjects.

The development of the 5-hectare (13-acre) site in Johor, marks Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) as the 'anchor tenant' within the EduCity.

[21] Staff moved into the NUMed Malaysia buildings in May 2011, in preparation for students arriving in August.

[22] The Malaysian Bell's Court building features a section which is designed to look like the Arches in Newcastle upon Tyne.
