Ageing: our story of experience
Newcastle University’s commitment to understanding ageing and improving the lives of older people extends right across the institution. It represents a major investment by the University into tackling one of society’s greatest challenges: ageing.

Newcastle University is a world leader in research into ageing, its causes, and its social and health consequences for you.
Through our Newcastle Initiative on Changing Age -we've created a fusion of medical science research and social concern to tackle the challenges and opportunities ageing is generating for humankind.
We were one of the first universities to recognise the importance of studying ageing and the impact created by an increasingly ageing population.
We have helped raise the profile of ageing as one of the major issues facing communities in the UK and worldwide.
