The Nottingham 2010 Applicants Thread

Just checked Ucas, got my final offer (AAB) at Nottingham Uni for finance,acc & managment. Had to wait for about 3 n a half months! relieved lol. First choice: Nottingham
Insurance from: Southampton, Aston or Surrey

Yep, I applied for psychology and philosophy there
I really think it would be a great course at nottingham, but I can't decide between there and Sussex... :/

got conditional offer for financial, accounting & management!
i like edinburgh/nottingham/durham & didn't know how to choose
suggestionsss?!

Hey there, all those are good institutions to study at, especially Edinburgh and Nottingham.
But if I had to choose from them I'd choose Nottingham because it is one of the most employer friendly Unis in the UK and its Business school is ranked consistantly high every year. My cousin studied Management & Chinese there, where he also got to spend time at the campus in China. He is now working for Barclays and doing very well for himself. Of course the FAM course that we applied to is also a very good course that offers flexibility, not to mention the constant interaction with the UKs top firms while studying at the Uni. These are just some of my reasons for putting Notts as my firm lol.
I've heard the student life is also great and there is a mixed crowd so you can meet people from all different backgrounds. This is amongst the UK's most popular universities so u have done well to beat off competition for an offer. There's an open day on the 17th Feb where u can find out more.
Just think about it carefully before u make choices. Can see why its difficult tho..Edinburgh is also world class! Good luck

ooh im doing philosophy and theology! Finally some philosophy people, i was beginning to feel like the only one :P
CHOOSE NOTTINGHAM! Not that I'm biased....

Name: Sam
Course chosen: Civil Engineering
Other choices: Loughborough, Durham, UCL, Manchester
Random info about yourself or your course: I am going to Nottingham Open Day on the 12th - day after 'FutureMedic!' I believe.

Haha yeah I read a pretty bad review for Philosophy at Sussex recently, so I'm gonna think about it and see what I do

What have you heard about the philosophy course at Nottingham?

I heard Nottingham is a really dodgy place though.. As in something like 1 in 3 people are a victim of some sort of crime during their time in uni. Does anyone know if all this is true?

Hey everybody! I just received my offer letter from Nottingham! I just realised that Nottingham has a student portal, where you can track your applications progress!!! I think it should also work for people who haven't heard anything from them too!

Just go to: http://my.nottingham.ac.uk/ugapps
The username = UCAS Personal ID No. (e.g. 1234567890)
Password = birthdate in the format; for e.g. 03oct88

Try it out! Its pretty useful!

Congrats on the offer.

I did think it wouldn't work but it did for me I wonder which they update first.

ummm had offers from east anglia, bham and then there's my interview at UCL
well not really, they're all slightly different-- but basically thy are all management science/ management related u?

Thanks!

I think they update their own portal first, since there is a "lag" time between when Universities send decisions to Track and the time they take to update Track!

I think it just depends. My portal didn't update with an offer until a day after Track.
