## 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. \

## Course overview
Newcastle Philosophy is rare among UK universities as much of our curriculum is dedicated to modern European philosophy. The curriculum includes thinkers such as Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, de Beauvoir, Sartre, Kristeva, Derrida and Foucault.
You'll also have the opportunity to explore key debates in the history of European philosophy, including those in Ancient Philosophy, the Enlightenment and beyond.
Each year you’ll complete an individual project, where you apply the philosophy you learn to a topic of your choice. You'll open your mind to new ways of thinking and create your own learning path.
[Hear from our graduates as they talk about how their time studying Philosophy at Newcastle University helped them in their careers](https://www.ncl.ac.uk/school-x/study/philosophy/graduates/)
A dedicated project tutor will work with you throughout your degree and guide you through the project research process.
You'll learn how to question, analyse, and balance multiple (and often opposing) points of view - skills essential to a wide range of careers.

[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
Learning in Philosophy is an active process, centring on your own reading and inspired by lectures and discussion in seminars and tutorials.
#### Assessment methods
You'll be assessed through a combination of:
- Assessments
- Coursework
- Essays
### Skills and experience
The project module runs in each year of the degree and provides the opportunity to develop your research and real business skills.
Each year you can work on a research project of interest to you, applying what you learn to the world around you. As you near your final year we'll encourage you to link your philosophical studies to a particular employment niche, such as publishing, advertising, law or education.
The topic of your project will determine what kind of research is required. It might involve site visits, interviews, archive work, or close textual analysis. Whatever you choose, we'll help you develop these research skills.
This project work encourages you to build up a range of skills that will be useful for your future, such as:
- the ability to research, analyse and present complex information
- the ability to time-manage large work projects
- the ability to develop robust arguments and articulate your point of view
- strong oral and written communication
- creativity and independence
[## Combined Honours BA Honours

You can choose to spend your year studying at a partner institution in an EU country as part of a study abroad exchange or further afield. This will extend your degree by a year.

Peer mentors will help you in your first year. They are fellow students who can help you settle in and answer any questions you have when starting university.
## Your future
### Develop valuable employability skills
Although Philosophy is generally considered to be a non-vocational degree, employers will value the specific skills that the study of philosophy develops.
The study of philosophy helps you to develop the ability to analyse and construct sound arguments, think logically and critically about ideas and issues, communicate clearly and persuasively, and generate solutions to problems.
You also gain crucial employability skills sought by graduate employers, including independent study and self-motivation, the ability to prioritise work and meet deadlines, flexibility, creativity, the ability to identify, absorb and sift complex information, teamwork, and applications of information technology.
Philosophy graduates are found working for almost every type of employer in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. Some graduates will continue to master's-level studies.

## 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.
