Which course are you interested in? Adult nursingUndergraduate/postgraduate study? UndergraduateAre you coming to an open day?* Booked a day in November Any questions for NTU? Are there specific halls for those who are doing healthcare degrees?

Hi Zaynabiqbal,

I hope you are well.

No, there aren't. The accommodation booking system is the same across all subjects, so you may share the floor with students from different subjects. Does this answer your question?

Thank you,

Andrea

Ah okay. Thankyou

Has anyone received an offer letter yet for 2021 intake? If so, when did you send off your application?

Which intake for 2021? January or September? I applied for September 2021 about a month ago ( 21 September, 2020 ) still have not received anything. My other university choices have already sent me the acknowledgement / welcome email. Nothing from NTU :frown:

Right! I’m applying for January 2021 intake. It’s been almost two months since I sent off my application. It’s making me so nervous :afraid:

You should have heard back by now, I suppose. Maybe you should contact the Admissions team through email or call them in order to know the status of your application. Make sure you provide them your UCAS ID ( Personal ID ) or NTU applicant ID ( if you applied directly through their website/portal) in your email. Covid is getting worse in the UK day by day, maybe that is the reason why it is taking so long.

Torn between ntu and aston university as my firm choice, although swaying a little more towards ntu.

Which course are you interested in?
Business management and human resources
Undergraduate/postgraduate study?
Undergraduate
Are you coming to an open day?*
Already been to a virtual open day during lockdown :smile:

Any questions for NTU?

1. Could you please make updated student accommodation YouTube tours as the ones up on your channel are very outdated. Although I know the accommodation facilities haven't changed much, it would be much more appealing.

Hi there both, thank you for getting in touch.

Please don't be nervous. We are currently in the process of assessing applications for January and September 2021 intake. Due to the high number of applications we receive, this can sometimes take longer than expected.

If you could give us a call on 0115 848 4200, we will be happy to provide specific advice and address any concerns you may have.

All the best,

Andrea

Hi, it is really kind of you to take time to provide feedback, it is always appreciated. I shall pass this on to the relevant team right away.

In the meanwhile, can I suggest exploring our facilities and much more through our virtual tour?

We are here if you need any further information.

Thank you,

Andrea

Hi,

I am hoping to apply for Law and Psychology at NTU, with UCAS points. I am currently at a predicted BCC-BBC, but have a D2 in Cambridge Pre-U short course. This will give me a minimum of 124 UCAS points, if I get the lower predicted grades. Is this possible for an application to your law school?

I would also like to ask Nottingham Uni requires the LNAT to be taken, do I have to take it to apply to NTU? And even if I do not, would you advise that I take it to show an edge to the other people applying?

Also, due to coronavirus, the work experience I had was cancelled. This has made my personal statement lack effectiveness, can you share any ideas on how to tune it to your Uni? As NTU is my first choice.

Hi,

Thank you for getting in touch, we really appreciate it!

We offer a number of undergraduate courses in law, you can find a complete list here. For our LLB Law FT, you should aim to gain 120 UCAS tariff points from 3 A-level or equivalent qualifications. This means that we wouldn't initially consider your additional Pre-U certificate when assessing your application. Your predicted grades are quite good though, so I would definitely encourage you to apply! On result's day, your predicted grades may be more than sufficient for your place to be confirmed and we may even take your Pre-U certificate into account! This is simply something that we are unable to confirm at this stage, as it will depend on the overall performance of students next year.

We do not require the LNAT, so unless you want to complete it, I wouldn't particularly recommend it. If you are planning on joining us for our virtual open days, you will have the opportunity to discuss this in more detail with the relevant academics. Please note that we also need English and Maths GCSEs passes.

Your question about the personal statement is a very good one. Our admissions and academic department have teamed up to provide guidance to those students wishing to apply to NTU, and here's the result. I hope you will find it useful!

We are glad to hear that you would like to join our community! Do come along to our virtual open day if you can, they can really help you make your mind up and understand your options. If you have any other questions, just fire away! :smile:

Hi Moonishaaa, thank you for posting here. As a general rule we do. However, it will also depend on which course you wish to apply to. Are you able to call us on 0115 848 4200 to discuss this in more detail?
