Advice for parents and carers
Because you can’t visit us in-person now, our Virtual Open Days are the perfect way for you and your son or daughter to get a feel for NTU and the city of Nottingham.

Researching universities can be tough, especially as opportunities to visit them are currently limited. The “right choice” criteria can range from the reputation for a particular subject, to industry connections, to the location of the university itself. You and your son, daughter or young person will also be looking for something distinct – an experience that adds genuine value beyond the rudiments of a degree course.
Our Virtual Open Days allow you to get to know your child's subject of interest in more detail, browse our accommodation, and tour our campuses and facilities – all from the comfort of your own home.
If you, or your child, have any questions, call us on +44 (0)115 848 4200 or complete our enquiry form to get in touch.
Parent and Carer guide
Higher education is changing all the time: from how learning is delivered, to how studies are financed. Whether or not you’ve attended university yourself, there are some important things you’ll need to know about the next step in your child’s academic journey.
Our Parent and Carer guide covers those things. Our goal is to build your knowledge and confidence, and to help you help them.
