## Clearing - How to apply

### What is Clearing?

Each year, universities may have spaces left on their courses after the application window has closed in June.

UCAS Clearing is your opportunity to snap up one of these places, even if you didn't apply to the university prior to the June deadline.

It also gives you a second chance to go to university if you didn't get the grades you needed for your firm and insurance offers.

### How do I get in touch?

Our Clearing entry requirements may differ from those advertised. Please contact our friendly advisers to find out if you’re eligible for a place. You can get in touch through our hotlines: 

- For domestic students please call us on [0800 073 5050](tel:08000735050)
- If you’re an International student calling from outside the UK, call: [+44 191 222 5000](tel:00441912225000)

**Not available in Clearing** \
\
 This course is not available in Clearing 2025. \
\
 This means there are no spaces available for Clearing 2025. If you can't find vacancies in your original course or subject area, try exploring other subjects in a related field. \

## Modules and learning

### Modules

**The information below is intended to provide an** **example of what you will study**.

Most degrees are divided into stages. Each stage lasts for one academic year, and you'll complete modules totalling 120 credits by the end of each stage.

Our teaching is informed by research. Course content may change periodically to reflect developments in the discipline, the requirements of external bodies and partners, and student feedback.

**Optional module availability**\
Student demand for optional modules may affect availability.\
\
Full details of the modules on offer will be published through the [Programme Regulations and Specifications](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/regulations/programmeregsandspec/programmeregs2025/) ahead of each academic year. This usually happens in May.\
\
To find out more please [see our terms and conditions](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/student-welcome/student-contract/terms-and-conditions/)

The linguistics topics you study are broadly similar to our [Single Honours Linguistics degree.](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/degrees/q100/)

Your stage 1 modules will lay the foundation for in-depth analysis and description of language. They focus on topics such as the structure of words and sentences (morphology and syntax), the sounds and sound systems of language (phonetics and phonology) and language variation and change.

Your language tuition involves two hours a week on speaking, reading, writing and listening skills.

You'll also have a weekly one-hour German grammar lesson. You complement this with classes aimed at helping you understand the culture and society of the countries where German is spoken.

[Information about these graphs](#)

We base these figures and graphs on the most up-to-date information available to us. They are based on the modules chosen by our students in 2024-25.

Teaching time is made up of:

- scheduled learning and teaching activities. These are timetabled activities with a member of staff present.
- structured guided learning. These are activities developed by staff to support engagement with module learning. Students or groups of students undertake these activities without direct staff participation or supervision

### Teaching and assessment

#### Teaching methods

You can normally expect to spend around 10 hours per week engaging in lecture, seminar and workshop materials, plus weekly study groups.

You also spend around 25 hours per week on class preparation, reading, writing, and other kinds of independent research recommended by your tutor.

Your specific assessments will depend on the modules you take – we assess our students’ progress using a variety of methods which go beyond the typical essay.

#### Assessment methods

You'll be assessed through a combination of:

- Coursework
- Dissertation or research project
- Essays
- Examinations – practical or online
- Group work
- Interviews
- Presentations
- Projects
- Reflective report/journal

| --- | --- |
| Home students  Full time: 4 years | Tuition fees (Year 1)    **Not Set** |
| International students  Full time: 4 years | Tuition fees (Year 1)    **£24,500** |

[Home Fee Students](#) 

Tuition fees are payable for each year of your course. £9,535 is the maximum fee that we are permitted to charge for home fee-paying students for the academic year 2025-26. This is set by the UK government. This fee has not yet been confirmed for 2026-27.

As a general principle, you should expect the tuition fee to increase in each subsequent academic year of your course, subject to government regulations on fee increases and in line with inflation.

[Read more about fees and funding](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/undergraduate/fees-funding/)

Depending on your residency history, if you’re a student from the EU, other EEA or a Swiss national, with settled or pre-settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme, you’ll normally pay the ‘Home’ tuition fee rate and may be eligible for Student Finance England support.

EU students without settled or pre-settled status will normally be charged fees at the ‘International’ rate and will not be eligible for Student Finance England support.

If you are unsure of your fee status, check out the latest guidance [here](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/studying-in-the-uk-guidance-for-eu-students).

## How to apply

### Apply through UCAS

To apply for undergraduate study at Newcastle University, you must use the online application system managed by the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). All UK schools and colleges, and a small number of EU and international establishments, are registered with UCAS. You will need:

- the UCAS name and institution codes for Newcastle University (NEWC/N21)
- the UCAS code for the course you want to apply for
- the UCAS 'buzzword' for your school or college

If you are applying independently, or are applying from a school or college which is not registered to manage applications, you will still use the Apply system. You will not need a buzzword.
