Course programme
Our international summer school covers a wide range of subjects.
The courses are organised into blocks, so you can create a programme that suits you. Choose one course from any of the blocks, or combine two courses from blocks 1 and 2 to create a 4-week programme.
A typical 2-week course gives you 5 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) credits which you may be able to use towards your degree at home.
You'll receive an official NTU transcript and a Certificate of Completion after satisfactorily completing your course(s).
The courses are aimed at international and UK-based students who have completed at least one year of undergraduate studies.

Student feedback
Nottingham is a small but charming city in the middle of England. It is very easy to get around and find good places to eat or shop. It also has a lot of pubs and nightclubs to go out at night. Overall, I really enjoyed spending these few weeks in the city.
Patricia Andrade Lopes – English Legal Culture and Legal Skills
Wonderful. Full of surprises. Nice classrooms and friendly environment, staff and student buddies.
