What will you do?
Find out about the fantastic experiences that University of Nottingham students undertake while studying here, whether it is to develop their CV or just try something new.
Don’t go to university just for your degree, get the experience and make a lot of friends. There may not be any other opportunity to meet so many people from around the world in one place than at university. In order to improve your chances of employment, make sure you get sufficient work experience in the summer. A nice holiday in Spain might seem enticing in the short run, but a hard worked summer would definitely be more rewarding in the long run, and would allow you to have better holidays in the future.
