Information and entry requirements for students from Hong Kong
Welcome to NTU
Hello, my name’s Dave Berry and I'm the NTU Representative for Hong Kong. I’m delighted you’re considering studying with us and if you have any questions I’ll be happy to help. I visit Hong Kong a lot and love meeting new students and families personally to give advice and guidance.
If you’d like us to keep in touch please register with us and we’ll send you updates on what’s happening at the University. We’ll also let you know if I’m visiting Hong Kong so we can arrange to meet if you wish – or you can contact me directly.
I feel at home in Nottingham – you can make friends really easily here and the Chinese Society really helps with that. I feel more confident here than I did in Hong Kong because you have to be more independent when you study.
Rebecca Chiu, Hong Kong, BA (Hons) Business Management and Operations.
