The Programmes cover similar material to the first year of the degree courses at Newcastle University in these subject areas. The Programme is a recognised qualification for direct application to the second year of the corresponding degree programmes at Newcastle University. It is also anticipated that the Twinning Programme will be recognised by other universities in the UK and overseas for advanced entry.

Each Programme is divided into a number of modules. An individual module consists of lectures, problem solving sessions and revision sessions, which are followed by an examination.
