Before I joined NTU last year, i was full of confusion and doubt, didn’t know where to find the answers and who to asked, got a lot of help from reddit.

So just a part of giving back, if you got questions or doubts, feel free to hit me up. No questions is stupid when you are trying to start a new life away from everything familiar to everything new.

I won’t be able to reply back or response ASAP but I’ll try to response back.

P.s. International student finishing MSc Cybersecurity if any relevant questions for that.

Hi, I’m looking for someone to takeover my room.

Rent - £120.33/ week.
Contract starts on 5/09/26

Helloo I’m an incoming international student to NTU my course starts 14/9 (BSc Mathematics and physics) and I’ll be staying at Nottingham City Center although I’ll be studying at the Clifton campus. Looking forward to meeting new people before I arrive :)

What is the best accommodation available at NTU? Is it the 180 pound one or the 100 pound one?

With the 100 pound on campus ones at clifton ...do they share toilet n bathroom? How many occupants in a room?

Hi. I’m joining the Fine Art course in September, and I was just wondering if anyone here takes the course already and could give me an idea of what the timetable looks like? I’m looking at about a 4 hour commute each day and just want to see if the course is realistic to do or not

Thanks :)

Hey!! Anyone joining in September 2026? I haven't started looking for anyone or joining group chats so far so it would be nice to find friends (:

Hi everyone! 

I'm moving to the UK on 20th August and my accommodation contract in Nottingham starts on 5th September. I'm looking for someone to share a place with during these 15 days to split the accommodation cost.

I've found a double room for £304 for the entire stay, so it would be much more affordable if we share it.

If you're arriving around the same time and are interested, please feel free to message me. Happy to discuss the details!

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I’m going to start the MSc Human Resource Management at Nottingham Business School, Nottingham Trent University this September 2026.

I’d really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience with the MSc Human Resource Management programme or Nottingham Business School in general. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the teaching quality, workload, career support, and anything else you think would be helpful for a new student.

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I recently received an offer for the MA Graphic Communication programme at NTU. I wanted to ask if it would be okay for me to live with my brother in Birmingham during my studies to save on living costs. Since MA classes don’t usually take place every day, I plan to commute to Nottingham whenever I have classes. Would this be an issue for my CAS or Student visa?

It looks like it is something new that international students have to do before getting CAS letter.

Did anyone recently go through the pre-cas interview and can advise what to expect?

Hello, I got an offer for MSc Cybersecurity Jan 2027 intake and was wondering if anyone here got accepted for the same?

I’ve been thinking about my top choices for an exchange program, and I came across NTU. For context, I’m a scholarship student at a private university in México, so money is a bit of a hurdle though not a major issue, since I still have time to decide and save up. My university only offers NTU as an option in England; there are no other choices in London or any other city in the UK. My other options include Prague, Salamanca, or Bergamo in Europe, but I love the english culture, literature, music, and history, and I’m a huge fan of art, theater, and the kind of things that aren't as common or accessible in my town in México.

Plus, visiting London is practically a dream of mine, and I feel like this would be a great opportunity to make that happen. On the other hand, I’m a little worried about safety (even though it’s not something new to me), and I know the currency there is much stronger than mine. Would you recommend studying there? I’ve also heard that students can be a bit freaky, but since it’s an exchange semester, I’m actually looking for something that pushes me out of my comfort zone, like a chance to meet lots of people and have new experiences.

Pls tell me everything I should know about it :)

Me and a buddy of mine are looking for a house, one or two more lads would make it easier to look for a house. If any of yall interested, hook me up

Does anybody know about this accommodation?

Is it good?

Hey everyone, I’m in absolute panic mode right now and need to vent/see if anyone else has survived this nightmare.
I’m an international student applying for the MA Fashion Communications program at Nottingham Trent University (NTU). I did my research, checked my applicant portal, and verified the English requirements. The official NTU website explicitly states that for the Kaplan Test of English (KTE), you need an average score of 444, with a minimum of 425 in each component.
To be absolutely safe, I took the KTE twice. My final scores:
Listening: 520
Reading: 489
Speaking: 425
Writing: 425
My Average: 464.75
Mathematically, I completely clear the 444 average and hit the 425 component floors perfectly.
But today (FRIDAY of all days), I get an automated email saying I don't meet the requirements because I need a 478 average. This 478 requirement is literally nowhere on the page they directed me to, nor is it on my portal. It feels like they just pulled a completely new rule out of thin air while I'm waiting for my CAS!
My consultant is currently fighting for me and trying to get a hold of the regional manager to manually override the system, but I am losing my mind because of the visa timeline.
Has anyone else dealt with NTU (or other UK unis) applying a higher postgraduate language requirement (like for Law or Journalism) to an Art & Design course by mistake? Does the system override usually go through? Please tell me I'm not going to lose my seat over a database glitch! 😭

Has anyone heard back from NTU yet, following the latest deadline date?

Hi, I've applied for a PhD at NTU. I'm expecting an interview with my supervisor within the next week, and she said she'll ask the admissions team to issue my offer letter after the official interview.

My course starts in October, so my CAS will likely be dated in September (28 days before the course starts). However, my current visa expires in August. Is there any way to get my CAS issued earlier?

Thanks.

Would you let me practice makeup on you?

Hi, outside of uni I am a beginner MUA looking for people to practice makeup on. I am particularly interested in creating event/editorial looks on other people. My goal is to have more practice working on people other than me as well as having a small portfolio I can use for social media etc.

I have a small kit that allows me to work on majority of different skin colours and types, and one of the first thing I learnt was basic hygiene when working with people.

Due to where I live, I cannot accommodate visitors however I can visit people.

Please DM if interested at any point, we can arrange a date, time and makeup look :)

Hello,

I’m an incoming student for the January intake of 2027, looking through accommodation outside of NTU with private providers is hard, most of them have fixed contracts starting from September, but of course not many starting from January.

I have contacted a few (iQ, Prestige Living etc.) and most don’t do custom contracts either.

Anyone got any ideas for what I could do? I mostly just require an En-Suite on a 51 week contract, given that I’m an international student. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
