Congratulations on your offer to study the MBBS programme within the School of Medical Education 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 Medical Education.
You can choose which date you would like to attend on:
There's lots on offer from both our central services and from the Medical School. In the morning, 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 about the morning here.
Then from 12:30 pm, 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!

Please return to your email to register for the event. If you have any questions about the events, please contact us.
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.
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 which you could visit before joining us at 12:30pm.
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.
