Professional Accreditation for Newcastle University Degrees

Almost half of our degrees are professionally-accredited. This confirms that they meet the standards set out by the profession. Graduating with a professionally accredited degree provides industry-wide recognition of the quality of your qualification.

Depending on the accrediting body, studying a professionally accredited qualification may mean that you are eligible to apply for membership of a professional body on graduation. It may also mean that you are exempt from professional exams or further academic study en route to your chosen career.

The close link to the industry that a professionally accredited qualification provides means that you have the opportunity to learn about developments at the cutting edge of professional practice. This often includes case-study led teaching and the chance to gain real-world experience through work placements or projects based on real problems set by industry.‌
