Applying for an undergraduate course
The Application Process
You should apply to us through UCAS. Most applicants will have studied three or more A levels (to A2 level), and we require chemistry to be amongst these. Our typical offer grades for students offering A2 or the international Baccalaureate may be found on our courses pages. We also accept other qualifications, such as Scottish Advanced Highers and the Irish Leaving Certificate. We also consider applications from mature candidates (aged 21 and over at the beginning of their course) who are offering a range of qualifications such as Open University credits, access diplomas, HNDs and BTEC.
Our offers are based on the information provided on your UCAS form and, for our F100, F101, F103 and F105 degree courses, offers are usually made after an interview at Nottingham which is held on one of our UCAS Visit Days. Applications are considered solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential, regardless of gender, ethnic or national origin, age (subject to University regulations on minimum age), disability, religion, sexual orientation or any other irrelevant distinction. Go to the University's equality and diversity statement.
Deferred Entry
We are happy for students to take a gap year before coming to Nottingham, but it is best to apply for your place first. If you choose to defer with a gap year then make sure you make good use of this year in your own development, for example by travelling, by taking up paid employment or by doing volunteer work.
International Students
