Newcastle University’s engineering students are highly regarded in the graduate marketplace, with opportunities available in the UK and worldwide.

Most of our graduates are employed in industry, where they are involved in research and development, design, production and manufacturing, quality assurance, and consultancy.

Studies show that engineering graduates are earning more than the average graduate salary six months after leaving university, and, if they become Chartered, their average salaries continue to increase faster than inflation.

Some engineering graduates undertake further study, obtaining MSc and PhD qualifications before entering their chosen career, whether that is in industry or in an academic career.

Others use the skills they have gained during their course to embark on careers in management, administration, accounting, teaching and law. In fact, you can enter almost any career you want.
