What you'll study
This degree combines marketing expertise with broad management foundations. You'll usually start with core modules in management, marketing principles and business economics, before moving to operations, organisational behaviour and strategy.

The course progresses from understanding how firms work and reaching customers, through analysing competitive advantage and managing people, to applying these skills to live business challenges.

International students
What applying to Newcastle University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £25,750 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Newcastle University offers the Vice-Chancellor's EU Scholarships – Undergraduate for international students, see Scholarships above.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with Newcastle University and gov.uk before you apply.
