The students got the chance to engage with experts in a wide variety of subjects and sectors, from heritage and history to science and coastal management. From these sessions students gained a broader insight into the history of Seaton Sluice as a seaside town and got the chance to work on different creative streams including poetry and this impressive piece of beach art.

We can trace our origins to:
These two colleges formed one division of the federal University of Durham. The Durham Colleges formed the other division.
The Newcastle Colleges merged to form King's College in 1937. In 1963, when the federal University was dissolved, King's College became the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. The University changed its trading name to Newcastle University in 2006.
The name University of Newcastle upon Tyne is still used in the most official of contexts, including on degree parchments.
The first Chairs at the Colleges were not only in fundamental disciplines such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, arts and literature, but also in the regionally important applied sciences such as geology, mining, naval architecture, engineering and agriculture. Newcastle became known worldwide as a hub of industrial activity, with a strong civic university as its intellectual underpinning.
We are a world-leading university, advancing knowledge, providing creative solutions and solving global problems.
Our Vision expresses our collective sense of purpose. We aspire to be a people-focused university that harnesses academic excellence, innovation and creativity to provide benefits to individuals, to organisations and to society as a whole.
Newcastle University exists for the public benefit to advance education, learning and research. Our objective is to build on this core purpose and, in doing so, provide new knowledge and creative solutions that make a positive impact.
We aim to work collaboratively with our many external partners to shape brighter futures, grow the economy and champion social justice.
