International Students

The University of Nottingham is a popular choice for international students, with over 6,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students from over 130 different countries.  The University is committed to providing the best possible support to all international students from their first enquiry, to their arrival at Nottingham, and through their entire time here.

 The International Office is the first point of contact for international students.  A dedicated team of staff can advise on a whole range of issues from eligibility for courses, to the application process, to the practicalities of getting to and living in the UK.  A key point in the international students' calendar is the Welcome Week, organised by the International Office, to help students settle in and find their way around the University's many resources.

 In addition to the services provided by the International Office, international students can also access other student support such as the Centre for English Language Education which runs courses to help students improve their English skills and Academic Support which helps students develop their academic and writing skills.  The International Office will also provide information about how international students can access services such as healthcare, childcare and banking.

International students will also find a warm welcome from the student body.  The International Students' Bureau provides many social activities and organises the annual International Evening, a night of music, drama and dance which brings the whole of the university community together.  The Students' Union has over 150 different clubs and societies, many of which are focused on particular national or cultural groups, which all add to the range of opportunities to make new friends.
