On this page
Your offer - what happens next?
This guide explains everything you need to know about your Newcastle postgraduate study offer. We'll tell you what you need to do and when.
We aim to respond to your application within 5 working days. For some courses, or during busy times, this may take longer. If we need further information to help us make a decision, we will email you.
How we process your offer depends on whether you are an international student or a home student. This depends on your fee status and we'll confirm this in your offer letter.
You can track the progress of your application or contact us with queries by logging in to the

Types of offer
There are two types of offer you can receive: unconditional and conditional.
Unconditional offer
If you receive an unconditional offer from us, you will be able to accept it through the application portal you applied through.
Conditional offer
