The Writing Development Centre website has moved to http://www.ncl.ac.uk/library/subject-support/wdc/. There are re-directs in place from the old homepage and the tutorials page but please be aware that any other links will result in a page not found error. There is also a link to the WDC from the Library homepage.
The student booking form for requesting one to one tutorials has also changed and now requires students to log in using their computer log-in e.g. A0123456. If you have any queries please contact the Writing Development Centre using wdc@ncl.ac.uk

The Philosophy society is rising from the ashes like a glorious phoenix and we need people to come along to events and help get the ball rolling again.
We know that a problem people have had with the course in prior years has been the lack of cross year integration and social events, but now there is a solution! We plan to step into the void and fix this issue, giving you a pace to meet like-minded people and relax with your coursemates.
If you have any interest in philosophy outside of your course, or just want to socialise please do consider joining.
Our plan for the year is as follows:
· Our famous “Think and Drink” events: every Monday night.
· Bi-Weekly socials.
· A monthly reading group based upon books chosen by members.
· End of Term Formal Balls.
Membership is £5 and gives you free access to the socials, and the reading group, plus reduced ticket price for the Balls. For any more information please check our Facebook page.
Also consider giving us a like on Facebook, a follow on Twitter or just have a gander at our Instagram. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/NCLPhilSoc/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/NCLPhilSoc

Just came across this article about the top 12 degree subjects for getting a job. Physics and computer science didn’t make the list, but Philosophy dd.
Some of you have been asking about language modules to complement your degree. Can I recommend an additional possibility, which will feature on your transcript on graduation, studied alongside your other modules…
We offer free language classes to all Newcastle University students. Join us to learn Mandarin Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese or Spanish.
Classes take place in the evening. Modules are worth 10 credits.
You will receive two weekly contact hours. The modules will be recognised on your marks transcript as extra credit.

A message from just down the road for those of you interested:
Dear all,
I am writing on behalf of the Durham University Philosophy Society to invite undergraduate students to submit papers for consideration for our upcoming conference.
