Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Chemistry with Industrial Training Year

at Newcastle University United Kingdom

Our Linguistics BA Honours degree focuses on developing your understanding of how language works, how we communicate, and the growth of language in the brain.

You'll explore linguistics in the context of English alongside other languages. You'll build a firm base of skills and knowledge. This will allow you to pursue many career paths - from journalism or data science to teaching or further postgraduate study.

In your first year, you’ll study a foreign language, modern or ancient, alongside Linguistics. You'll also follow a cutting-edge degree programme shaped by the research specialisms of our world-leading staff. This ensures your studies explore the latest ideas and most exciting areas of linguistics, such as:

• Computational linguistics
• Language variation and change
• Psycholinguistics
• Theoretical linguistics

At the end of this course, you'll become a confident and competent professional. You'll learn about fundamental topics in linguistics, such as phonetics, grammar and sound patterns and the social contexts in which languages are learnt.

Our mechanical engineering degrees focus on developing your knowledge and practical skills across a broad range of engineering topics, so you graduate equipped to succeed in any engineering field.

This foundation year will help you build the base knowledge you need to progress to any of our mechanical engineering BEng degrees.

This is a full-time programme of study covering core mechanical engineering topics, including:

• Foundation mathematics
• Applied mechanics
• Material science

Our course provides in-depth knowledge of the major areas that underpin operations and supply chain.

Our Operations, Logistics and Supply Chain Management MSc helps to improve business performance with an integrated approach to operations, logistics and supply chain management.

Organisations are always looking for ways to:

• Reduce costs
• Shorten production and distribution times
• Identify areas of sub optimisation
• Better manage operational risks

This allows them to develop and maintain a competitive advantage.

You'll improve your knowledge and understanding of how an integrated approach to operations management can positively impact business performance and sustainability.

You'll learn how to advance the effectiveness and competitiveness of organisations. You'll apply the knowledge and skills you develop in a thorough systematic, informed and creative way.

All our degrees focus on three core areas – pure mathematics, applied mathematics, and statistics – and you have the flexibility to tailor the combination of these to suit your interests.

On this degree, you will select modules evenly across both mathematics and statistics. These include:

• Complex variable
• Statistical inference
• Foundations of probability

You can also choose optional modules linked to the research expertise of our staff and learn about the latest developments in the discipline, such as advanced hydrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and Bayesian inference.

BSc or MMath?
We offer our degrees at two levels:

• Three-year Bachelor of Science (BSc) degrees
• Four-year Master of Mathematics (MMath) or Master of Mathematics and Statistics (MMathStat) degrees

Our four-year degrees are more in-depth and include:

• Advanced topics and a wider choice of modules
• A specialist study, tailored to your own interests, that develops your skills in research and communication
• More technical skills, for those who wish to enhance their employability or proceed to postgraduate study

Transfer between the two levels is possible up until the middle of Stage 3.

To qualify for Stages 3 and 4 of the MMath/MMathStat degree, you must normally have obtained at least an upper-second-class average mark in Stages 2 and 3.

Our Global Public Health MSc give you the skills and knowledge to confidently address global health challenges facing societies today. 

There are many public health challenges facing societies today, including:

• Increasing inequalities
• Climate change
• Displacement of populations
• Global pandemics

Global Public Health MSc addresses these issues and others. It encourages you to consider the roles of and interactions between:

• Governments
• International organisations
• Multinational corporations

You'll investigate global health challenges with a specific focus on your interests.

You will learn about the design, development and implementation of software that drives computer games.

Explore different aspects of computing science – such as games design, bioinformatics, and security – in your first two years.

You'll spend a year on an accredited, paid industrial placement between Stages 2 and 3.

Study specialist modules in Stage 3 – such as gaming simulations and computer games development – to develop skills and knowledge for your chosen career.

About Game Engineering
Our degrees in Game Engineering focus on the design, development and implementation of software that drives computer games (rather than the artistic element of games development).

They enable you to design, develop and implement computer graphics software and applications on a variety of architectures including games consoles, graphic workstations and advanced 3D reality environments.

They also allow you to exploit such software and hardware in entertainment, engineering, design and scientific visualisation.

The North East of England is a hub for games development, making it an exciting place to kick-start your career in the industry.

Our civil engineering degrees focus on developing your knowledge and practical skills on topics across the discipline, so you graduate as a well-rounded civil engineer and well-equipped for your future career.

This foundation year will help you build the base knowledge you need to progress to any of our civil engineering BEng degrees.

This is a full-time programme of study covering core civil engineering topics, including:

• Foundation mathematics
• Applied mechanics
• Material science

Successful completion of the foundation year leads to guaranteed progression to year 1 on one of the following courses:

• Civil Engineering BEng Honours (H200)
• Civil and Structural Engineering BEng Honours (H210)

This research master's in Film Studies combines taught modules and individual research. It is well suited as preparation for PhD research.

We have a thriving community of postgraduate students working in film across the Schools of Modern Languages, English Literature, Language and Linguistics, and Arts and Cultures.

Dissertation supervision is available in:

• American cinema history
• British sound cinema, particularly 1940-60
• French cinema
• contemporary Spanish and Latin American cinemas
• Chinese-language cinema
• early cinema
• cinema culture
• cinema and landscape
• women's film history
• cinema and the city
• writing on film
• cinema and trauma
• Algerian cinema

This course provides the opportunity to develop skills as a curator or gallery educator in the fields of both historical and contemporary art.

We aim to provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to establish or progress your career working in art museums or galleries.

The course is part of Media, Culture and Heritage in the School of Arts and Cultures. We have a thriving, high-profile interdisciplinary research community. It's made up of postgraduate research students and experienced academic researchers who are key figures in their fields.

You'll have input from professional and academic experts with substantial experience of working in the museum and gallery sectors in various countries.

Working in collaboration with our key partners you'll curate a public-facing group exhibition. You'll also organise and deliver a programme of public activities and learning events. The course is designed to provide you with an unparalleled experience and a professional edge.

The course encourages a hands-on approach. It involves major input from a range of art museum and gallery professionals from the region and beyond. This includes those involved in independent initiatives, national art collections, and internationally significant exhibitions.

The first three years of this degree follow the same programme as our Marine Engineering BEng Honours degree. It provides the expertise to design specialist systems demanding the latest technologies. You'll be prepared to face the challenges of developing advanced alternative power systems that are eco-friendly, ultra-efficient and reliable.

You’ll learn from research-active professors from across the globe, bringing their cutting-edge ideas into the classroom. You'll benefit from using our specialist facilities.
After learning the fundamentals of marine technology, you'll move on to specialist marine engineering modules.
