Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Academic building at Newcastle University, England
The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences is an academic building in Newcastle University's central campus housing nine schools across different disciplines. It serves as the base for teaching and research in fields ranging from archaeology to modern languages and sociology.
The building has its roots in Armstrong College, founded in 1871, which later merged with other institutions to create what is now Newcastle University. This joining of multiple institutions formed the academic structure that exists today.
Students across the faculty pursue research that spans archaeology, linguistics, sociology, and modern languages, shaping how the campus engages with different fields of knowledge. This work reflects how the institution values understanding human culture and society from many angles.
The Henry Daysh Building provides student services, career guidance, and academic support through the Graduate School. Access is primarily available to registered students and researchers using the facilities.
The faculty operates specialized research centers such as the Global Urban Research Unit and the Northern Centre for the History of Medicine. These centers conduct work beyond standard teaching, focusing on specific global and local topics.
