Accommodation

There are a large number of halls of residence and different types of University accommodation on campus. The Accommodation Office has a website with a full listing of all types of accommodation.  Living in University accommodation gives you an opportunity to meet other students on campus and make friends with other international students and UK students.

At Nottingham, all first year undergraduate students are guaranteed a room in University accommodation.

Family Support

The International Office can help with any queries you may have about supporting your family in the UK. They can advise about local schools and even provide free English language tuition for the partners of international students - a great way to meet other international families here in Nottingham.

The University has childcare facilities for all students who have children at the University from nursery care for younger children to holiday play schemes for older children.

The International Office also organise events and activities for international children including a Christmas party!
 

Faith and Worship

The Chaplaincy at the University helps students who are looking for a place of worship at Nottingham and also provides support and advice to all members of the University community: students and staff; Christians and non-Christians.

The University also provides prayer rooms across the campuses and procedures for students who are unable to attend examinations due to reasons of religious observance.
