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.

Undergraduate courses

Full-time courses across our five faculties typically last for three to four years, although some degrees such as medicine and architecture have a longer duration.

Undergraduate entry requirements

Applicants from Azerbaijan are typically required to successfully complete a foundation programme. However, if you have completed 1 or 2 years of study at a recognised institution, you may be eligible for year one entry and we can typically accept grades ranging from 3 to 5.

Our Undergraduate Prospectus lists entry requirements for A levels and International Baccalaureate students for each course.

Students taking APs or SATs should refer to our entry requirements for the USA.

A specialist diploma or bachelors degree (Bakalavr) from a recognised university will be considered for masters entry. Check course details in our Postgraduate Prospectus to see whether your chosen course requires the equivalent of an Upper Second Class (2:1) or Lower Second Class (2:2) degree.

Our entry requirements for degrees from Azerbaijani universities vary depending on the university where you have studied and the course you are applying for at Nottingham.
