Students who do not meet the English language requirements may be required to take a pre-sessional English language (PEAP) course.
I really recommend moving away from home because it’s really shaped my development and how I’ve grown as a person. I’ve learnt how to take care of myself, learnt basic life skills (cooking, cleaning, doing my own shopping and errands) and gotten the opportunity to explore a new city and country. Nottingham has been such an incredible city these past 3 years and it’s become home for me. I will always cherish this place and the university that gave me so much.
