Nottingham College

All international students are supported by the International Office, which begins at the point of application. The team supports students through the admission process, and also offers an accommodation service, pre-arrival support, advice and support during the course, and guidance on applying to university.

For academic support, all international students are allocated a Personal Tutor, who will regularly discuss progress and offer help with course-related matters if needed.

Homestay is compulsory for all students under the age of 18. We have a network of Homestay Hosts, who are inspected annually by our Accommodation Officer, and all members of the household over the age of 18 undergo criminal records checks prior to appointment. All Homestay is either within walking distance, or within a single bus/tram journey from the College.

We also work with several local accommodation providers, offering purpose-built, self-catering student accommodation for those aged 18 and over. We have small student accommodation facilities in Beeston, the area of Nottingham where the College is based, or much larger complexes closer to the city centre.

The College has a Library Resource Centre, which is equipped with a good selection of books and other resources to support students’ studies. It is free to use and students can borrow books using their student card. There are also quiet study areas, computer rooms and printing and photocopying facilities within this area.
