This summer, we're offering our alumni an exclusive opportunity to enjoy world-class rugby at Twickenham, all while supporting student rugby on campus.

Happy 150th birthday to Newcastle's Swing Bridge! 🎉

Designed by John Ure and engineer Philip Messent, and funded by industrialist Lord Armstrong, the Grade II listed hydraulic-powered structure was the largest swing bridge in the world when opened in 1876 😮

It lies between the Tyne Bridge and High Level Bridge connecting the Newcastle and Gateshead river banks and today is powered by electrically-driven pumps.

Did you ever cross this iconic bridge in your student days? 💭

Newcastle University graduate Claire Florey was a Saturday girl at beloved North East institution Greggs during her Environmental Studies on campus 🎓

Two decades later, Claire has cooked up a successful career with the bakery chain, having 'proved' herself during a graduate scheme and 'risen' to the top to today being Food Safety and Retail Technical Manager! 👏

On her recent return to campus, we sat down with Claire to hear more about her career journey and why she's dedicated her entire career to Greggs. Watch the full interview on YouTube 👉 https://bit.ly/4dVVsXR

🥳 10 years of Newcastle University China Alumni Association 🥳

2026 marks a landmark anniversary in our global alumni community as we celebrate a decade of our longest-standing and largest international network, the Newcastle University China Alumni Association (NUCAA).

To mark the occasion, Newcastle University hosted a celebratory gala dinner at the Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai on Saturday 16 May, with around 120 guests in attendance. As well as Newcastle University graduates from across the region, we were joined by colleagues from the Department for Business and Trade in China, China-Britain Business Council and British Council.

Thank you to all who joined us and those who have made the past 10 years possible. Here's to the next 10! 🥂

Please join us in congratulating Newcastle University graduates Professor Hayley Fowler and Dr Nick Graham who have been elected as Fellows of the Royal Society 👏 They've come a long way since first arriving on campus in the mid-1990s!

Today, Hayley is Professor of Climate Change Impacts on campus. She is an internationally recognised leader in hydroclimatic extremes and has transformed understanding of extreme rainfall and flood risk through pioneering work on convection-permitting climate models and the first global dataset of hourly rainfall extremes 🌧️

Now based at Lancaster University, Nick's research has focused on the ecosystem ecology of coral reefs, how they are connected to other ecosystems, how they respond to climate change, and are linked to human society 🌊

They join over 90 outstanding researchers from across the world who have been elected this year to the Fellowship of the Royal Society, the UK’s national academy of sciences.

We're so proud to have Hayley and Nick in our alumni community! 🤗
