The most up-to-date versions of all resources will be on Canvas and our website on Friday 16 September.

#WelcomeHyem photography competition

Here in the North East, we have an old Geordie saying “Welcome Hyem” meaning “welcome home”. Whether you are joining us in Newcastle for the first time or you are returning to campus, we couldn’t be more excited to have you in our city. To celebrate, we are running a photography competition where prizes will be awarded for the most creative shots from around the campus and across the city. Find out more about how you can enter and follow the entries at #WelcomeHyem on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter!

The competition is running from 19 - 28 September 2022.

Module Selections - FAQs

With module selections for the next academic year are approaching quickly, we have put together some Module Selection FAQs to help you with making your choices. Everything from the Module Selection Meetings, accessing the S3P system and pre-registering for your preferred modules.

You'll find everything you need for completing this process in our handy document, but if you have any further queries, you can get in touch with the Education Team.

For new students, if there are any optional modules for your course, you will be asked to select those during Induction Week.

Employability

You will leave us as an employable graduate. You'll have an understanding of the relevance of academic learning in an organisational context.

Throughout your time here, you have access to our career consultants. You'll also have access to a range of other experts who will support your career journey.

When you graduate, you’ll be able to show our Global Graduate Attributes. We developed these by working with key stakeholders.

Together, we identified what organisations are looking for in their new graduates, both now and in the future.

Employability Hub

The activities listed on this page highlight some of the ways in which we instil these attributes into every opportunity we offer.

If you’re ever in need of help, you can find our Employability Hub on the ground floor of the Business School.

You can arrange to meet with a member of the Student Experience Team with who you'll be able to discuss placements, study abroad or shorter mobility opportunities.

You can also arrange to meet a member of the Careers Team where you can discuss CVs, cover letters, advice on where to look for placements and mock interviews.

Award-winning Careers Service

You have access to our award-winning Careers Service to focus on your future career and aspirations.

Career Planning

You can book a 1 to 1 Careers Conversation with a careers consultant in our Employability Hub on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10:00-14:00.

You can find the team in the Business School reception area.

They offer a range of support to help you fulfil your potential, whether you want a graduate career, to go onto further study or start your own business.

They'll support you while you're studying and for up to three years after you've graduated.

You can also make a 1 to 1 appointment to visit us in the Business School Employability Hub.

Wellbeing and support

We offer in-house student wellbeing support. This service enables you to book direct appointments with a trained counsellor or mental health adviser.

You can book regular appointments, or attend a virtual drop-in session.

We designed these for situations where you may want to speak to someone about an issue that may impact your health and wellbeing.

This allows you to meet staff from support services across the University and find out how they can support your studies.

Student welfare and safety is our priority. The NUBS Health & Safety Policy (PDF: 171.6 KB) is an important document that students should make sure they are familiar with.

Help and guidance

You can also access central support via the University’s Student Health and Wellbeing service, which you can find in King’s Gate.

We also provide you with access to help and guidance on how to study most effectively during your time here. This includes help in areas such as mathematics, academic writing, and language.

Student voice

Your feedback is very important to us and we respond whenever we can. An example of this includes the commissioning of digital skills sessions. This enables our students to learn about areas including Google Analytics and WordPress.

Academic Representatives are here to represent your academic interests. They work with the University staff to create positive change for our students.

Student Voice Committees are a key part of how we engage with all students through their programme representatives.

This ensures that every student feels represented in institutional decision-making processes. Every student can contribute to the enhancement of their programme and learning experience.
