Teaching and Learning

For an award-winning experience. For industry-informed degrees. For a high-quality education.

Research-informed teaching engages a student's curiosity and fosters a dynamic learning environment. 

Degree programmes are shaped in consultation with industry, so they reflect the needs of employers. In some degrees, this means you'll work directly on projects set by industry or commercial companies, applying learning to real-world contexts. 

The high quality of teaching and the impact of the University's research is reflected in QS World University Rankings, with a place in the top 150 institutions.

Teaching Excellence

There's a long tradition of excellence in teaching at Newcastle University and this has been recognised in external surveys and assessments and by students.

We’re ranked 23rd for Teaching Excellence in the Times Higher Education Europe Teaching Rankings 2019
