• School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics

The study of film has a long history at Newcastle. Our community of film scholars share specialisms in:

• Film genre
• Film stardom
• Gender and ethnic identities in cinema
• Writing on film
• Documentary film

Our research interests also range widely in Anglophone, French, Hispanic, East Asian and Middle Eastern cinemas.

Industry professionals and practitioners from outside of the University will also teach you.

This four-year Civil Engineering degree includes a year working in industry and focuses on developing your practical and professional skills. You'll gain a wide-ranging knowledge of engineering topics so you graduate equipped for a career in the civil engineering sector.

You'll develop real-world experience – both at University and while on placement in Stage 3 – through our design-intensive programme, hands-on work in our specialist facilities and experience working directly in the sector.

You'll become a well-rounded engineer, with knowledge and skills across all five civil engineering disciplines – infrastructure, modelling and informatics, environmental systems, human and management systems, and surveying.

This LLM Law can be taken as a standalone course before undertaking PhD study.

It also forms the initial training component for the four-year (LLM plus PhD) ESRC Northern Ireland/ North East (NINE) Doctoral Training Centre.

This Master of Laws is ideal if you want to gain advanced research skills that will allow you to progress to PhD level study in the field of law and society. You'll study key legal topics relevant to law and society. You can choose from a range of optional modules suited to your specific interests.

Our professionally accredited Marine Engineering degrees provide a pathway to becoming a Chartered Engineer and prepare you to face challenges associated with the various specialisms.

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

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