With over 185 undergraduate degrees across 39 subject areas to choose from, it’s easy to find your perfect course at Newcastle University

Most of our undergraduate courses are three, four, or five years in length, depending on the subject you choose. You can also broaden your focus – choosing one of our well-established Joint Honours degrees or blending two or three of over 20 courses with our Combined Honours programme. 

You’ll benefit from an outstanding learning experience – our teaching is 5-star (QS Stars 2022) – and because our pioneering research as a Russell Group university will feed into your degree, you’ll learn at the cutting edge of your discipline.

Industry-sponsored events and in-degree opportunities including work shadowing, work experience, internships and volunteering, will give you a new perspective of the world and your future career. 

Your degree could also take you to another country – either as a compulsory part of your studies or as something you choose to do, extending your degree by up to 12 months. 

You’ll build the skills to become a highly desirable graduate: 

  • exploring your subject through fieldwork, study visits, practical skills sessions, workshops and studio-based teaching.
