The flexible, part-time structure of the programme enables you to fit your study around work and family commitments.
Entry requirementsTo study at The University of Nottingham you must normally be at least 18 on 1st September in the year you enter the University. If by that date you will be under 18, but at least 16, you can still study at the University. However, in that case, we will need your parents or guardians to agree to some extra safeguards because the law regards you as a minor until you are 18. You must also satisfy the requirements of the course(s) for which you are applying. Entry requirements are detailed in individual course fact files.
