Our foundation students
Zoe, Liberal Arts
"We’re taught skills needed next year, like referencing and how to write a university essay, all things we wouldn’t be taught if going straight onto a degree course."
Calvin, American and Canadian Studies
"Despite arriving at Nottingham with less than perfect A-level results, I have gone on to achieve first class marks so far during my time at university."
Franklyn, Theology and Religious Studies
"The foundation staff were amazing, they really stand out as they're the ones who take you under their wing and help you grow so much."
