Your Academic Strand
Your timetable for the week will be specific to your firm choice course at Newcastle and you'll gain entry level skills in your chosen subject area, taught by expert lecturers and academics in their fields
Chemical Engineering
Engineering students will take part in the 'Maths for Engineering strand' for your online days (Monday & Tuesday).
You will then move to your Engineering specialism strand for your on-campus days (Wednesday, Thursday & Friday).
This means you will have access to two separate Canvas courses and will have two different Academic strand leaders
Civil Engineering & Geosciences
Engineering students will take part in the 'Maths for Engineering strand' for your online days (Monday & Tuesday).
You will then move to your Engineering specialism strand for your on-campus days (Wednesday, Thursday & Friday).

As you will see from your timetable, Civil Engineering & Geosciences strand students will be allocated a group number and a group letter so you know which session rotations you're doing on the Thursday & Friday. This email will come from the PARTNERS team closer to the beginning of the summer school.
