If you’re interested in getting an insiders view of what life in the School of Biomedical Sciences (SMBS) is like, then you’re in the right place! You’ll find event reviews, personal insights, school updates and all manner of bioscience scattered amongst these pages.

Through this blog, we hope that you can gain greater insight of what the staff and students of the school are aiming for. As academics, our lecturers, technicians and administrative staff work hard to keep our degree programmes in TEF-gold shape while undertaking research and projects that have impact much wider than the confines of Newcastle University.

You’ll also find the voice of our students here. From SciComm Takeovers to SOLAR outreach, SBMS students are actively working to build a diverse and rich collaborations both within our school and in our local communities.

SBMS was sits within the Medical School at Newcastle University and is part of the Faculty of Medical Sciences. Founded in 1834, the Medical School is one of the largest in the UK, and our commitment to delivering consistently high quality, research-led teaching has seen the faculty expand to incorporate new schools and degree programmes alongside upgrades in our soon-to-be-opened state of the art teaching labs.
