Find everything you need to know about studying at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) if you're a student from Malawi.

Welcome to NTU

Vera Hau
Ms Kotana Hau

NTU Country Advisor, Malawi

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.

Information for 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.

Scholarship for students from African countries

We offer prestigious, competitive scholarships worth up to 50% to new international and European students. You must have an offer to study a full-time postgraduate course at NTU (including Confetti courses) in September 2024 to apply for a scholarship. See the full list of international scholarships.

We are pleased to offer up to £3,000 fee reduction to all high achieving Sub-Saharan African students. To be eligible you must:

  • Achieve a 2.1 or 1st class degree from a recognised university in your Home nation.
  • Be a resident and national of a Sub-Saharan African county.

To apply you will need to complete our online application form and tick the box which states you wish to be considered for the High Achievers Award.

Nottingham Law School (NLS) is pleased to offer one competitive scholarship up to a value of half your tuition fee.

We welcome applications from students from Nigeria who are holding an offer to study on a NLS full-time LLM Masters programme (not including LPC/BTC).

The scholarship will be awarded to the candidate who most closely meets the criteria for the award.

Meet our students

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.
