Congratulations on your offer to study the MBBS programme within the School of Medicine at Newcastle University. We would like to invite you to attend an Offer Holder Experience day. These on-campus events are exclusively for offer holders and their guests and will give you a taste of life within the School of Medicine.
There's lots on offer from both our central services and from the Medical School. You can join us on-campus anytime from 9 am to learn more about our Student Services and take a tour of our campus and accommodation. You can find more information here.
You'll join us at the Medical School to learn more about your chosen programme. You will get the chance to speak to staff and current students about your chosen degree programme, tour our fantastic facilities and try out some hands-on practical sessions! There will be plenty of time to get to know Newcastle University and ask questions in detail. You can find our campus map here.

On Friday 1 May, we are holding an online offer holder webinar for those unable to join us at an in-person event.
It's a fantastic opportunity to:
The webinar will be held on Microsoft Teams 10:00 - 12:00. If you would like to attend please register now using this link.
Code of conduct form (in-person events only)
You will be required to sign a code of conduct form once you have registered for an event. This allows you to see some of the cadaveric specimens we use in our teaching.
At Newcastle University, we are extremely lucky to have people who selflessly donate their body for medical education, and it is our responsibility to respect our donors’ wishes and maintain their dignity at all times. As a HTA (Human Tissue Authority) licensed anatomy establishment, we are held to strict legal standards regarding our donors. We take these rules and regulations very seriously. You must sign the code of conduct form to attend this element of the day.
If you have any questions about the events, please contact us.
When you sign up, we will send you a booking confirmation email. Then you'll receive a reminder email one week before the event which will include the full schedule. Meeting locations and a digital campus map will also be included so you can work out where you need to be in advance.
Lunch will not be provided. However, there are a range of places to eat on campus.
If you can't make any of the events, please get in touch. We will try our best to ensure you can still speak to staff and current students to answer any questions you have.
Applicants can bring up to 2 guests. (Please only take 1 guest with you to the degree programme information session)
