Northumbria Pathways

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.

Foundation Year

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

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.

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

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.

Postgraduate Taught Degrees

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.

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.

Postgraduate Research

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. PhDs 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.
