Training & Development - Why Newcastle?
Last year Newcastle taught over 5000 post graduate students, the vast majority of whom came to us for professional / work related courses.
So whether it’s training for you or for your whole organisation we have the experience and expertise to ensure you get the best results for your time and resources.
- Professional curricula: Our courses offer up-to-date and industrially relevant material in short, intensive programmes; many of which address serious skills shortages.
- World-class Scientific Facilities: You’ll have access to facilities and equipment that will replicate or surpass the ones you currently use in your workplace.
- Student satisfaction: Our postgraduate teaching was rated as ‘consistently good’ (or above) by 95% of respondents to the PTES survey.
- Expert teachers: Whether it’s from within Industry, the Health Service or the University, we ensure that the staff delivering your course are not only experts but practitioners too.
- Research led teaching: We are ranked 8th overall in the UK for our research power and are in the top 5 for hospital and laboratory-based clinical research; over two-thirds of our outputs are classified as world leading (4*) or internationally excellent (3*) in the broad thematic areas of ageing, chronic disease, genetics and stem cells.
