Our history
We're proud of our long history in Computer Science education and research. It originated with the creation in 1957 of the University Computing Laboratory, with responsibility for computing services and for teaching and research in computing. In 1991 these activities were separated and the Newcastle University IT Service and the Department of Computing Science (now the School of Computing) were set up.
