Read steps 1 - 3 before submitting your application.
Applications to the PARTNERS Programme are available for students in year 13/second year college, at the same time as you apply to university via UCAS.
Application Deadlines
You must submit both your UCAS and PARTNERS application forms by the relevant UCAS deadlines:
Medicine (A100) and Dentistry (A206) - 15 October 2020
All other courses - 29 January 2021 (Following UK COVID-19 restriction announcements the deadline for undergraduate applications has been extended from 15 January)
PARTNERS applications received after these dates will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. However, applications to the PARTNERS Programme for Medicine and Dentistry applicants (2020/21 admissions cycle) are no longer open.
Submit your UCAS application form, adding the letter 'P' in the 'Further Details' section next to the degree programme(s) that you apply to.
The 'P' enables our admissions staff to identify PARTNERS applicants. You can apply for up to five courses at Newcastle University through the PARTNERS programme.
We will not be able to process your PARTNERS application until your UCAS application is fully complete as we need your predicated grades, submitted by your teacher/tutor, to be able to fully assess your eligibility.
Therefore, don't submit your PARTNERS application form until you are at the stage to also submit your UCAS form to UCAS.
Forgotten to Include the 'P'?
If you have already submitted your UCAS Form and forgotten to include the letter 'P' in the Further Details section, please contact us to let us know.

Selecting Your Referee
While completing the application form, you must select the most relevant member of staff in your school/college to verify your details. This should be a teacher or tutor who knows you well enough to verify the accuracy of the details on your application form.
We cannot proceed with your application if you select an out-of-date or irrelevant member of staff.
If your referee is not available to select, please contact us.
Your UCAS Number
Once you have submitted your UCAS application form, you will receive your UCAS Personal ID.
To complete the PARTNERS application form you must ensure that you have your UCAS Personal IDto hand as you will need to enter this into the form.
If you have any questions or issues during the application process, check our FAQs to see if your question has already been answered. If not, please contact us to find out more information.

In order to take advantage of the PARTNERS offer, you must make the PARTNERS offer your firm choice (CF) through UCAS. You may only make your PARTNERS offer your insurance choice (CI) if your CF is for another course at Newcastle University.
