Our taught Masters’ degrees are normally 12 months in length if studied full-time, with flexible and part-time study options also available. Learning is fast-paced and thought-provoking, and we encourage you to apply your own ideas and experience to your studies.
Depending on the subject, teaching is delivered via a range of lectures, seminars, group projects, lab-based sessions, technical skills development, and practical experiments. At Newcastle, we also offer a wide range of research degrees at doctoral level (PhDs, Integrated PhD and professional doctorates) and Master's level (Mlitt, MPhil and MRes). As a globally respected university, our research ‘power’ has grown by 65% since 2014 (REF 2021), and our researchers are pushing the boundaries of knowledge. As a research student at Newcastle University, you’ll be part of something truly special.
Financial support and scholarships
We know that how you pay for your postgraduate studies is very important. We offer funding opportunities to a wide range of students throughout the year. Our searchable funding database is updated weekly with new scholarships, opportunities, grants, and discounts.
We offer an Alumni Progression Discount to eligible UK alumni from disadvantaged backgrounds when they continue their studies with us. An Alumni Progression Scholarship towards living costs is available for eligible UK and international alumni.
What our students think
‘The teaching and learning approach at Newcastle involves an interactive approach and innovative tasks that helps students to become more creative.’ Rakshya

‘START UP helps people to make a job when they can’t take a job. Its step-by-step approach gave me the confidence and courage of my convictions to make my business a success.’ Dan
