Northumbria Pathways

Foundation Year

All of our pathway courses are taught directly on our campuses.

Our courses can help international students improve their English language and academic skills to give you the confidence to start your degree.

This is a four or five year study route for an undergraduate degree.

This course is designed for students who have not achieved the entry requirements for their chosen course. Following successful completion of the foundation year, you will automatically progress onto the first year of your degree. Check individual course webpages for progression routes.

Undergraduate Degrees

Integrated Master’s

Postgraduate Taught Degrees

Postgraduate Research

Undergraduate degrees include BA (Hons), BEng (Hons), BSc (Hons) and LLB qualifications. We offer placements or study abroad options on the majority of our courses which can vary in length depending on the course.

Some courses offer a fully fundable undergraduate degree with the opportunity to undertake a year of study at master’s level.

Postgraduate degrees include MA and MSc qualifications. Master’s usually last one year. We also offer a two-year Advanced Practice option, where students may have the opportunity to undertake a 12-15 week internship, study abroad or research study project in your second year.

We have a vibrant community of postgraduate researchers, supported by excellent facilities, and offer a range of PhD/MPhil programmes, research projects and studentships throughout the year. PhD’s provide an opportunity to become an expert in a field you are passionate about, opening doors to prestigious careers in academia, or to research positions across industry and public service.

PhD opportunities are regularly posted on our website, please check this for current opportunities.

Higher and Degree Apprenticeships These specialist courses are co-designed with employers to ensure they’re providing the skills that industries are looking for.

Students are employed and divide their time between the workplace and study.

PG Cert and PG Dip awards are qualifications you can achieve by studying fewer modules at master’s level.

MRes degrees also have a taught component, but the majority of your time will be spent undertaking independent research.

HIGHER AND DEGREE APPRENTICESHIPS Higher and degree apprenticeships offer the best of both worlds combining university study and workplace learning.

Northumbria University is a leading training provider and was one of the first UK universities to offer government-supported degree apprenticeships.

Our Higher and Degree Apprenticeship programmes combine university study and workplace learning. These specialist courses are co-designed with employers to ensure they are providing the skills that industry is looking for. Apprentices enrolled on higher and degree apprenticeships are employed and divide their time between the workplace and flexible university study.

The first step in the application process is the University receiving an employer application form, indicating that they are willing to support you throughout the programme at the University. If you would like further support with the discussion with your manager or employer about apprenticeships or your wider training and development, please contact our Sales and Business Development team by email at degree.apprenticeships@ northumbria.ac.uk or complete the form on the website to request a call back.

If you have a question relating to an apprenticeship programme or you would like to talk further about how apprenticeships at Northumbria University work, call 0191 215 6300.

Terms and Conditions The content accuracy of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it’s up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of changes the University will consult and inform students in good time and will take reasonable steps to minimise disruption.

The information given in this guide is for guidance only. In compiling it, the University has taken every care to be as accurate as possible, but all information is subject to change. It is not to be taken as imposing upon the institution any obligation to provide, or to continue to provide, any course or amenity described herein. Everything is correct at date of printing, February 2022.

Our campus based courses starting in 2022 and 2023 will be delivered on-campus with supporting online learning content. We continue to monitor government and local authority guidance in relation to Covid-19 and we are ready and able to adjust the delivery of our education accordingly to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff.

On-campus contact time is subject to increase or decrease in line with any additional restrictions, which may be imposed by the Government or the University in the interest of maintaining the health and safety and wellbeing of students, staff, and visitors. This could potentially mean increased or fully online delivery, should such restrictions on in-person contact time be required.

Current, Relevant and Inspiring We continuously review and improve course content in consultation with our students and employers. To make sure we can inform you of any changes to your course, please register for updates on the course page.
