As a past MSc Student of this noble institution, I have enjoyed the sound and friendly environment which provides quality teaching and learning atmosphere. The University's reputation in global research and high academic excellence is evident in its membership in the Russell Group of universities, while the quality of graduates produced was recently acknowledged as the most sought-after in industries in the UK.

Some private and international schools are now providing A levels, and students taking these should meet the usual A level entry requirements as indicated in the prospectus and online.

A bachelors degree from a public university is acceptable. The grading system is the same as that in the UK, therefore the same marks are required as for UK undergraduates; a good 2.1 or first class degree
For more information, please see our postgraduate prospectus.
A masters and bachelors degree from a recognised university are usually required for PhD entry.
Exceptional students may be considered for PhD entry without a masters qualification, but this is rare.
For all research degrees, we recommend that you make initial enquiries with a potential supervisor or the relevant University of Nottingham school / department before applying. A research proposal is required when submitting your application.
