Unlike many universities, the Foundation Year at University of Nottingham is fully integrated into the students’ chosen degree program. It is not run by a private company, nor is it run off-site by an organisation franchised to the University. Students will be taught with UK students at the University by University academics, many of whom will teach later on in degree programme. Students will be Nottingham undergraduates from the moment they enter the University.
The Foundation Certificates in Arts and Social Sciences is designed for international students with high academic ability who need an extra year’s study to prepare them for a bachelors degree in an arts, or social sciences subject, either at The University of Nottingham or another university. Students will meet and make lifelong contacts and will benefit from a comprehensive support network.

A number of budget airlines run services from East Midlands, which is only 40 minutes from Nottingham city centre on the 24 hour Skylink bus service.
