Entry requirements

Foundation courses

Students from Singapore are normally not required to complete a foundation course as Singapore GCE A level is accepted for undergraduate entry.

Our foundation courses

We offer foundation courses for international students who are not qualified for direct entry to our undergraduate degree courses.

These courses are available at the University of Nottingham International College, just next to University Park Campus, in partnership with Kaplan International Colleges.
