How to apply

Please follow these simple steps to apply to the University

1. I would like to apply for a bachelor (undergraduate) degree

If you are applying to several UK universities you must apply online through the Universities and Colleges Admissions System (UCAS). EU applicants are required to apply by 15 January and international (non-EU) applicants need to apply before 30 June. If you are a non-EU international student and you wish to apply to NTU only, you can apply directly, but you must not apply to any other UK university in the same academic year. If we're able to offer you a place unconditionally we will pass your details to UCAS.

2. I would like to apply for a Masters (postgraduate) degree

Please create an online application using the NTU application portal. The following video takes you through the online application process. Video transcript.

Please visit the Nottingham Trent International College website for advice on applying for these courses.
