“Living in Nottingham is very convenient - for example, it is easy to find Asian groceries at supermarkets in the area. NTU provides a really great environment for students, and all of the lecturers are very supportive.

Your route to Nottingham Trent University If you’re interested in studying at NTU, Kaplan offers you a number of ways to enrol. A pathway course at Nottingham Trent International College (NTIC) will help you prepare and qualify for entry to a degree.
On-campus pathway coursesFoundation CertificateTo help you qualify for entry to an undergraduate degree, you can take a Foundation Certificate. You’ll be fully prepared for university, and can progress to the 1st year of your undergraduate degree.
International Year One (IYO)IYO is a more advanced pathway to an undergraduate degree. If you have finished high school with good grades, you could study an IYO. This combines university preparation with content similar to that of undergraduate 1st year, so you can progress directly to degree year 2.
Pre-Master'sIf you have an undergraduate degree or equivalent from your home country but don’t quite qualify for entry to a postgraduate degree, take a Pre-Master's. This will bring your skills and knowledge up to the level needed to start a postgraduate degree at NTU.
What is a pathway course?If you’ve completed high school, but don’t quite meet the entry requirements for an undergraduate degree at NTU, you can gain a place through a pathway course. Or if your undergraduate degree doesn't allow you to go directly to a postgraduate degree, a pathway course can help you reach the level required for entry.
You’ll take your pathway course at Nottingham Trent International College on the NTU campus. The course will give you the academic skills, subject knowledge and English language competency you need to gain entry to a degree. If you pass your course at the required level with good attendance, you’re guaranteed entry to NTU.
