Preparing to come to NTU

Advice and support before you leave your country

Our International Development Office staff regularly offer pre-departure information sessions all over the world to meet with future students and families.

You can contact your NTU country representative about these, email us or check the visit schedule.

Our International Student Support Service team can also advise you on any questions you may have about living and studying in Nottingham.

You can download our International Welcome Guide which contains invaluable information about living in the UK.

We really recommend that you read this guide before you leave for Nottingham.

We’ll also send a hard copy of this guide to you in July – please email us if you do not receive this for any reason.

Enrolment

Enrolment is when you officially register as a student with Nottingham Trent University.

It also officially confirms that you have arrived in the UK and are ready to start your studies.

You’ll need to start the enrolment process online before you leave your country.

Please follow these simple steps to start your NTU enrolment online.

As part of the enrolment process you’ll need to arrange for the payment of your fees, or the remainder of your fees if you’ve paid an advanced payment, before your course starts.

You’ll need to pay your fees in full or arrange to pay in instalments.

You can set up an instalment arrangement directly with our finance office.

Your course start date is on your offer letter and in your course induction information. You’ll complete your rest of your enrolment (fully enrol) when you’re in Nottingham.
