Career Development at Newcastle University

Depending on the subject you study, you may have the option to choose Career Development as one of your modules.

This enables you use your work experience, volunteering or part-time job to count towards your degree.

There are no weekly lectures but you will attend training sessions and take part in an assessment at the end of your placement to demonstrate the skills you have learned.

There are three different routes available:

  • Student tutoring - helping learners in schools and colleges, or through community placements
  • Student volunteering - volunteering through Newcastle University Students' Union
  • Learning from work - develop your knowledge and skills using existing part-time work (paid or voluntary), including running your own business
