University Centre Support

Yes, we have an award-winning student support team who offer one-to-one support to help you reach your full potential and achieve your goals. You'll regularly meet with a Personal Tutor who will help you to plan your learning journey and keep track of your progress. Our Learning Support Team can offer additional and specific support if you have any additional needs and/or disability. This includes support for sensory needs, learning and physical disabilities, autism and dyslexia. They can also help if you need advice and support for any issues relating to your mental health and wellbeing. You can find out more details on our Student Support page.

We want everybody to have access to education and the opportunity to gain new skills, whatever your situation. Depending on your individual circumstances, your age and your previous qualifications, you could qualify for some financial support. This could range from help with course fees and access to a support fund towards travel and childcare, or an Advanced Learner Loan.

Newcastle College University Centre does not own any student accommodation but we can definitely point you in the right direction of some great student friendly options. Whether you'd like to live in halls of residence, private rented accommodation or even with a local family, speak to our Student Services team who can help you find the perfect place.

We know that it can be difficult to commit to full-time education as an adult. You have a busy life and more than likely financial commitments or possibly even children. We want everybody to be able to access education and training opportunities and we offer a range of courses from short courses, to professional qualifications and degrees that you can study part-time or in the evenings, so that they can fit around your existing commitments and lifestyles.

If you want to study for a degree but don't have the right qualifications, an Access to Higher Education diploma could be your best option. This one year course will prepare you for degree level study and is recognised by universities across the country. You can choose from a range of Access to Higher Education pathways including business, health, sport, computing and education.

Yes, possibly! We offer Recognise Me, a unique service that considers all of your previous work experience, qualifications and skills. Degree qualifications are made up of modules and Recognise Me will analyse whether your experience, previous qualifications or professional training will align to these modules. If so, you could be exempt from certain parts of your degree, saving you valuable time to focus on the rest of your qualification!
