You'll also have the opportunity to work on a real-world engineering project with an industry partner, so you gain an insight into the sector, develop industry contacts and enhance your CV.

While establishing a firm foundation of electrical and electronic engineering knowledge, you'll become a confident expert in more specialist topics, through optional modules such as: nano-electronic devices and national-scale electricity networks.

Political and environmental influences are impacting the types and uses of plants in food production and eco-systems management. Limitations on the use of synthetic herbicides and growth pattern regulators are changing the management strategies available.

Graduates of this applied agri-biological degree will be well placed for a wide range of careers in this vital and developing sector; including plant genetics, bio-chemical research, and agronomy.

On this degree you can select options with a cellular and molecular emphasis underpinning fundamental understanding of plant physiology.

You may take optional modules dealing with a range of applied or associated topics to provide you with the knowledge and insights needed for example to manage crops;

• In agricultural systems
• Conservation grassland
• Woodlands, or
• To develop new approaches and products to control pests and diseases.

You will have the opportunity to take a year's work placement to develop your work based skills, usually taken in research or in the plant science sector.

Our students are helping transform the oral health of local communities. You'll help patients avoid and manage oral disease by promoting good oral health and providing treatments. This degree will provide you with the practical, theoretical and professional skills required for this role.

At Newcastle our work has worldwide impact and you'll be taught by some of the top academics and internationally renowned experts in their field.

This degree begins with a foundation in biomedical sciences, providing a basis for clinical work as the course progresses. You'll study advanced topics such as human disease, managing medical emergencies, and health promotion.

The research master's contains taught and research elements. It is well suited as preparation for PhD research.

You'll focus on a particular area of Chinese studies that you'd like to carry out postgraduate research on. We place a high emphasis on excellent supervision, researcher training and development.

Our research staff work in diverse fields. This ranges from sociocultural, historical and political studies to film and literature, linguistics and sociolinguistics.

This degree explores how cell components are formed and interact at a molecular level. You'll develop your understanding of what causes diseases such as cancer, and how powerful new technologies can be used in drug design and synthesis.

We're a National Centre of Excellence in biomedical research and our world-leading, expert staff teach on our degree programmes. This means you graduate with cutting-edge knowledge in human health and disease.

Biochemistry is the study of life at the molecular level and this degree mainly focuses on human body functions. You’ll also explore the chemical processes that occur in cells of other living organisms, from bacteria to humans.

Alongside improving your knowledge and skills in molecular biology, biomedical sciences and biotechnology, you'll also learn industry-standard analytical techniques, which are used to discover or design new drugs.

BSc or MSci?
Some of our degrees are offers at two levels:

• Three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc)
• Four-year Master in Science (MSci)
• Our MSci degrees include an additional year of advanced study at master’s level, where you will gain additional research and practical experience to increase your employability and have the opportunity to work alongside our world-leading experts.

This three-year English Literature with Creative Writing BA Honours degree focuses on expanding your knowledge of literary texts, and developing your critical, theoretical and creative writing skills.
