Eligibility

Who can access our services?

Newcastle University students and graduates

All full-time and part-time undergraduate and postgraduate students can access the Careers Service.

You can also use our services for up to three years after you graduate. Go to MyCareer to register - where you can book appointments, submit a query and search for vacancies and events.

To access core START UP support graduates must have exited Newcastle University with an award within the last two years. Graduation should be taken to mean the point at which the student graduates from their studies.

If you are over two years and have, or are looking to start a business, always get in touch. There are others ways in which START UP and the University can support, through NCL Internships, Arrow, Apprenticeships or by sharing your story. Visit our business and partnerships page for more ways to work with the University after graduation.
