Newcastle University - Ask the Admissions Team

OP

@Newcastle University
Is it possible for me to switch from Biomed to Pharmacy if it’s early in the year? I don’t like the course already and would prefer pharmacy and I don’t know if I can switch since I know people do drop out and I don’t want to wait a year.

Hi @JA03,

If a registered student wants to request a programme transfer they have to do so in line with our Student Progress policies and procedures. Please note that any on-course transfer requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and are not guaranteed. Students wanting to transfer should contact their Personal Tutor and the Degree Programme Director (DPD) of the course they want to change to.

For further information and advice, you are welcome to contact our our Student Engagement Team via telephone (0191 208 3333, option 2).

Hello, can you let me know how many places you have on the psychology degree for 2024 entry, and typically how many applicants you have each year.

Also, will you be making offers as they come, or waiting until closer to the deadline due to number of applicants.

Hi

We have approximately just under 200 places on our Psychology BSc Honours programme, and around 50 for our Joint Honours Psychology programmes.

There is no normal timescale that we respond to applications within as we consider all applications individually. All applications received by the relevant deadline will be given equal consideration (16th October for Dental Surgery and Medicine and Surgery students, 31st January for all other courses).

Best wishes,
Lydia.

I deferred 2 weeks into my course, you can fill in a form if you decide to take a gap year then.

Hi @Anonymous #9

Thanks for your interest in Newcastle University, and our Psychology BSc Honours programme!

At Newcastle, we're happy to consider deferral requests at almost any stage of the application process. You can apply for deferred entry at the point of application, or you can request deferred entry after submitting your UCAS application. You may also request a deferral after you receive your exam results.

We may also consider a deferral request after receiving your results and accepting your place at Newcastle. In this case, approvals are subject to availability, and considered on an individual basis.

I hope this helps!
Scott :smile:

Hi @Karvin22

We do try to process applications as quickly as we can. There is no normal timescale that we respond within because each application is considered individually. However, all applicants who apply before or on the 31st January 2024 will receive a decision by the 16th May 2024.

I hope this helps :smile:

Hi @Karvin22

We cannot discuss individual applications on a public forum. Additionally, for data protection reasons we can only speak with the applicant themselves or their UCAS nominated person.

Your daughter is welcome to contact us for an update.

Hi @Claudsurt

As all applications are assessed individually, unfortunately we are unable to give a more specific timeline as to when you will receive a decision.

Hi @Anonymous,

At this stage we don't know when we will start sending out invitations to interview for our Dental Surgery BDS programme. However, I can advise that invites will be sent out in batches.

Thanks

Hi @Charlie_dent

Emails inviting people to Offer Holder Days will be sent out early next year, or when they receive an offer from us. Each Academic School sends out the invitations and they can be sent at different times, therefore we are unable to advise exactly when they will begin to be sent out.

More information on our Offer Holder Days can be found on this website.

Hope this helps 😊

Hiya, my daughter applied to the History and Archaeology course and also single honours Archaeology back in November. She has heard from all of her other courses at other Unis now but still nothing form Newcastle. Some of her school friends have now received offers for other courses which include history at Newcastle so she is becoming a bit confused. Is there any way we could find out an expected timeframe for a decision?

Hi

We do process each application individually, so unfortunately there is no specific timeframe we can give for how long we take to respond to applications.

If your daughter wishes, she can get in touch with us via our Enquiries form to find out about the status of her application at this stage.

I hope this helps 😊
