Key Dates
From Freshers' week to open days, semester dates to application deadlines, here are some key dates for your diary.
Application deadlines
When applying for a course, you need to know if there are any deadlines you need to work towards.
We include application or admissions deadlines on our undergraduate and postgraduate course pages.
Term and semester dates
The Newcastle University academic year starts at the end of September. We split the year into three terms or semesters:
- Autumn
- Spring
- Summer
We set our term and semester dates in advance, so you can plan around your studies.
Graduation dates
We hold graduation ceremonies, known as congregations, several times a year. Find out about our next ceremony dates.
