Newcastle-Upon-Tyne

We are the team from Newcastle University, which is one of two universities in the North East city of Newcastle upon Tyne in the United Kingdom.

The city is famed for its rich history, and its numerous bridges that span the River Tyne, crossing to the town of Gateshead. The city is full of diverse culture, with this partly being shown by short-listed bids to gain the European Capital of Culture title. One of the cities leading museums, the Great North Museum: Hancock, is supported by the university.

Newcastle had large coal mining and manufacturing industries through the 19th and 20th centuries, and has since gained a reputation as a shopping haven and a party-city.

It is also the home of a world famous soccer club, Newcastle United, and the beer Newcastle Brown Ale.
