How to Enrol
To officially register as a student with NTU, you will need to enrol at the start of every academic year. Once your course has started, you have 14 days to complete the enrolment process, but we encourage you to complete your enrolment as soon as possible.
Your Course Induction
Course inductions take place in the first few weeks of term and are designed to introduce you to your course and how you'll learn at NTU – from our online teaching tools, to the buildings and facilities that you'll use as part of your studies.
Arranging your Funding
Before you arrive at NTU it’s important that you make sure your funding is in place. Here we explain how to arrange your student finance and how your student finance payments are released.
Moving In
From the moment you arrive there’s plenty to consider, the little details may not be exciting, but they are important!

Studying at university level may be a different learning experience than you’re used to. Whether you're an undergraduate or postgraduate student, it helps to know what to expect when you start your studies with us, and where to get help if you need it.
Preparing for Student Life
Whether you’re moving away from home for the first time or returning to study after working, coming to university can be a big change. There’s so much going on at NTU for you to discover and get involved in.
