Interested in studying at Nottingham Trent University (NTU)? On this page, we’ve included everything you’ll need to know – meet NTU’s Representatives for Africa, learn about our entry requirements, and sign up to keep in touch with us.
Welcome to NTU
Hello, my name’s Kotana Hau and I'm the NTU Country Advisor for Malawi. We have a long history of welcoming students from Malawi and there’s a lively African community here who’ll make you feel very welcome.
I myself come from Malawi and regularly visit Lilongwe and Blantyre.
Parents and family
There's lots of useful information on our parents and family web pages for you to explore. When I go to Malawi I love meeting new students and families personally to give advice and guidance.
You can see my current visit schedule or you can register with us and we’ll let you know when I’m next visiting.

I returned to NTU, in January 2019 for my Ph.D. and it felt just like coming home. I am clearly biased, but I think NTU is the best for business and economics-related courses.
