Newcastle University Official

Hello thanks for getting in touch!

All applicants who narrowly miss the conditions of their offer are reconsidered again together when the results are published in August. Whether we are able to accept near miss students depends on the number of applicants who have met the conditions of their offers and the number of places we have available on our programmes.

I hope that helps If you do miss out on your grades, the best thing to do is to contact us as soon as possible. On A-level results day our Clearing hotline will open at 7.30am and our Clearing website will be live later this week (www.ncl.ac.uk/clearing). It will have all of the information you need to prepare for A-level results day as well as the telephone numbers you may need to call if you don’t get the results you’re hoping for.

If you have any more questions just ask Good luck!

Hello,

may I ask how long are christmas holidays?

I'm a current student at Newcastle. The experience so far has been great, but I do have one gripe:

In the run up to exams, the library is absolute hell. It is far too small for the number of students that are trying to use it. It is generally impossible to find a seat from 9 am onwards and the overcrowding results in an unpleasant atmosphere. I realise that the pop-up library was used this summer. This was a good idea and helped. However it lacked most of the facilities available in the main library and feels like a sticking plaster solution. Are they any plans to expand the library or increase the seating capacity in the near future?

I have been offered an en suite, self-catered room in Berwick House, Castle Leazes. Is this virtual tour a realistic preview of what my room, en suite and Lounge/kitchen will look like? Or do all the flats look different?

Hi,
When you say contact us as soon as possible if you don't meet the grades, do you have a specific number to call?

Hi,

If you miss your grades by say 1 (ie. need AAB, but get ABB); will you automatically consider and possibly still accept me, or will I have to contact you through clearing?

Many thanks.

do you accept equivalent grades??
thank you

Hello,

I was wondering about how competitive the combined honours course is? As in, how many people usually apply compared to how many places available on the program. Thank you!

Hi sorry I have another question,

how easy is it to change courses? my firm choice is business management however i am very interested in studying it with economics too.

if i did meet the entry requirements how do i change course? do i do it through adjustment or clearing?

thank you!

No worries Lauren

You can contact Business Management admissions directly if you get in touch with [email protected] with your full name, UCAS ID and confirmation of the course you want to change to.

Admissions won't be able to consider your request until after you receive your A level results on the 14th, but you can send Fiona an email in the meantime!

Hope that helps

Rachel
