Visa restrictions

International students must have valid UK immigration permissions for any courses or study period where teaching takes place in the UK. Student route visas can be issued for eligible students studying full-time courses. The University of Nottingham does not sponsor a student visa for students studying part-time courses. The Standard Visitor visa route is not appropriate in all cases. Please contact the university’s Visa and Immigration team if you need advice about your visa options.

Alternative qualifications

We recognise that applicants have a wealth of different experiences and follow a variety of pathways into higher education.

Consequently we treat all applicants with alternative qualifications (besides A levels and the International Baccalaureate) on an individual basis, and we gladly accept students with a whole range of less conventional qualifications including:

• Access to HE Diploma
• Advanced Diploma
• BTEC HND/HNC
• BTEC Extended Diploma

This list is not exhaustive. The entry requirements for alternative qualifications can be quite specific; for example you may need to take certain modules and achieve a specified grade in those modules. Please contact us to discuss the transferability of your qualification. Please see the alternative qualifications page for more information.

RQF BTEC Nationals

Applications are assessed on an individual basis to ensure sufficient science has been studied. We will consider the following:

• RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Diploma DDD
• RQF Level 3 BTEC National Diploma DD plus 1 A level at grade A
• RQF Level 3 BTEC National Extended Certificate D plus 2 A levels grades AB

The required A levels for mixed BTEC and A level grade profiles depends on the science content studied in the BTEC.

Access to HE Diploma

Applications are assessed on an individual basis to ensure the science requirements for the course are met. Where an offer is made, our standard requirements are:

• Access to HE Diploma 30 graded Level 3 credits at Distinction, usually including 15 Biology or Chemistry credits and 15 credits from a second acceptable science subject, plus 15 graded Level 3 credits at Merit

Applicants who are studying at least 30 science credits overall but not an equal split between subjects may still be considered – please contact us for more information.
