About the university

Why students choose Newcastle University

A Russell Group university with a city-centre campus and long-standing strengths in medicine, marine engineering and computing.

Both direct entry and foundation or pathway routes are available here. If your grades or English score fall short of direct admission, the pathway route is a genuine alternative to waiting a year.

Tuition, entry requirements and intake dates differ by programme and change each year. Ask us for the current figures for the course you are considering rather than relying on published averages.
