Newcastle University 2016 Entry

Hi,

I have a place for BA Business Management for 2016 from deferred entry, and was wondering whether it'd be possible to transfer to BSc International Business Management? Both courses ask for AAB and I have A*BB in Business, Economics and English Language respectively. Also, because I have an unconditional offer, would I be any more likely to get my first choice accommodation or does it not make any difference?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jack,

If you want to change course you need to contact our Admissions Team. If you e-mail [email protected] and include your full name, UCAS ID, and the info you've put in this post then she will be able to help you through the process.

It's certainly possible. The selector for International Business Management would need to look at your application and decide if they wanted to offer you a place. If they do, you'll get a new offer which will replace your original one And if they don't accept you, you would still keep your original offer for BA Business Management.

Having an Unconditional Offer gives you a slightly higher chance of getting your first choice, this is how the Accommodation Services Team explain it:

"Between May and August we will release a percentage of our rooms and process applications from any student holding an Unconditional Firm Offer. We will allocate only to first preference room type at this time so if there are no rooms available in a student’s first choice, then the application will be retained and processed again when the remaining rooms are released.The final release of rooms is released upon A-level results day, so all applications at this point are processed together upon us receiving confirmation the student holds a UF offer. This will therefore include a mix of students who we weren’t able to process earlier despite them having a UF offer as well as students who have just obtained their offer following results.When processing a UF student application, each is allocated a computer generated random number and we allocate in order of this number."

Hope that helps

Hi,

Hi, Is it possible to know the ukcat threshold for the 5 year dental surgery course?

Hi, I am a student who has just left sixth form with my A Levels and am on a gap year. I'm currently applying to universities in the hope of studying Biomedical Sciences and I was wondering if Newcastle University accept students resitting some of their A2 modules for this course? If so, would their application be at any disadvantage because of this? Thanks

Hi,
I'm applying for medicine (As an Undergrad) and just wondering about deferred entries. I am currently predicted to get A*AA in maths, chem & bio and also have a UKCAT score of 732.5 but Im quite keen on some sort of Gap Year. If i apply with a deffered entry this year, how will it affect my chances of getting an interview/place?

Thanks

Hi, I want to study biochemistry. I am on my gap year at the moment and will be applying this year. I was wondering if you look for any sort of work experience for the course.

Bit of a silly question, but is it worth having my referee mention that I achieved full UMS in GCSE Spanish if I'm applying for Modern Languages (Spanish and beginners' German), or is it irrelevant?

Hi,

I am looking to come to an open day for Newcastle, but there is no other dates on the website other than this Saturday. Will there be anymore open days scheduled?

Also, do you have any idea of this years timetable for Economics and Management and the Business Management course for this year, and if it will be similar to next year? As this will depend on whether I look into accommodation, if I did receive a place.

Thank you
