With a history that spans over 50 years, and part of the Russell Group, Newcastle University has a longstanding record of delivering excellent education to its student cohort, which now totals over 20,000 and represents over 120 different countries. The university’s course index is highly diverse, yet courses fall neatly within one of three faculties: the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Medical Sciences and the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering. Crucially, the university is also home to a dedicated Students’ Union, which offers over 200 student-led societies and sports clubs for students to join and participate in, as well as an embedded community volunteering scheme. It is of no surprise then that the university’s graduate employment rate is one of the best in the UK, with 94% of Newcastle’s graduates finding work or further study within six months of graduating. Graduates can also benefit from careers support and business start-up support for up to 3 years post-graduation – a feat not offered by all institutions. Newcastle also has well-established links with some of the biggest graduate recruiters, so life post-graduation bodes well for its many graduates.
