“Lots of my friends went to universities that claimed to be in the city centre – but NTU actually is. It’s right on the doorstep of Newton. You get the vibe and the buzz of town carrying over into the campus, and the two kind of feed off each other. It’s a proper student city.”

Erin Houston, BSc (Hons) Business Management

The City Campus is typical of Nottingham itself. It’s a place that’s big enough to inspire, and compact enough to provide a sense of community; one where our best and proudest traditions sit shoulder to shoulder with new theories, new practice, and new possibilities. It’s the same mix of heritage and sass that sums up the city we love.

25 Personalisation at NTU

Personalisation at NTU: Life and Learning on Your Terms

Lots of universities talk the talk when it comes to “personalisation” – but what exactly does it mean?

For us, it’s about choice. Personalisation isn’t just a buzzword to throw around; it’s a key part of our culture. We work hard to ensure your journey here is as personal, relevant and satisfying as possible. Learning tools like NOW and the Student Dashboard will help you keep on top of your own progress – especially in the classroom – but there’s much more to personalisation than that. It’s about making sure you’ve got the tools, encouragement and opportunities to build your own academic pathway: to tailor what you’re learning, so that it meets your own needs and interests. Personalisation means making sure your course is working for you, whatever it is you’re studying – and that your learning experience here is something you can genuinely call your own.

26 Personalisation at NTU

“Your voice has…”

Change is happening all the time at NTU. It’s driven by the voices of our students, speaking up to make sure their university experience is what they want, need and deserve it to be. Ultimately, it’s about dialogue – a conversation between us and you. Your voice has value at NTU. Here’s a small sample of those conversations, as well as the ideas they encouraged, and the results they’ve achieved – all in the name of personalisation. • We’ve increased the amount of funding available for travel scholarships, to support students who see international work or study as a key part of their journey. • Our Volunteering team has introduced the Community Engaged Learning scheme – meaning that voluntary work can now count towards your studies. If you’re looking to volunteer but don’t have the time outside your studies, it’s a great solution. • We’ve expanded our Alumni Fellowship Scheme, bringing alumni into the classroom to explain the secrets of their success. Who better to get personal guidance, inspiration and support from than someone who’s recently graduated from the same course as you? • To make sure we’re flexible enough to support your commitments and needs, we’re regularly extending the opening hours for some of our key facilities, whilst providing more technical support – meaning you’re not bound by timetables and can work when you need to. All of these changes have personalisation at their heart, and they all came from student feedback. At NTU, we’ll make sure the living and learning experience works for the person that matters most – you.

59 Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships

What is an apprenticeship... What if you’re looking for a university-level qualification, but studying for a full-time degree doesn’t fit your current circumstances? Apprenticeships are an alternative route to success, and a great option if you’re: • about to leave school or college, and looking for paid work as an immediate priority • already in work, but wanting to move your career forwards. The cost of an apprenticeship is covered by your employer, meaning that you won’t be liable for tuition fees. What’s more, you can count on the support and expert teaching of NTU alongside your paid work, meaning you’ll truly get the best of both worlds.

...and how do I find one with NTU? We offer higher and degree-level apprenticeships across a range of professional areas and disciplines: • Business and Administration • Education and Childcare • Care Services • Construction • Digital • Health and Science The eligibility criteria for each apprenticeship varies – so whether you're already in work or looking for employment as an apprentice, visit our website for further details on: • our fantastic range of higher and degree-level apprenticeship opportunities • how to find a role (as well as any current vacancies) with our apprenticeship partners • a full breakdown of how, when and where you'll learn.

www.ntu.ac.uk/apprenticeships

Here's a few examples of some of the major national and international brands our students have completed apprenticeships with.

60 A Five great reasons to complete an apprenticeship

1. You’ll be gaining a degree qualification. 2. You’ll be earning while you’re learning. 3. You’ll improve your chance of building contacts, skills and experience in the professional sector of your choosing – apprenticeships are great for career progression. 4. You’ll have access to all of NTU’s key support services – from employability and study support, to our libraries and sports facilities. 5. You’ll also qualify for discounts in stores and services around the country, through the NUS Apprentice Extra card.

The evidence for humanity’s need to change is mounting. Global populations of fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles have declined by 58% since 1970*, and the problems at home are just as severe: today, one in ten UK wildlife species is threatened by extinction†. The world needs solutions – and that’s why NTU is helping a new generation of conservationists and ecologists deliver meaningful change, on a global scale.

Deforestation and melting ice caps are destroying key habitats, and over 28,000 species are in imminent danger of extinction (IUCN Red List). Are you ready to make a difference? NTU’s conservation and ecology courses explore the natural world, and the impact we have on it.
