In the evenings, we will help students to relax with optional sports, cultural events and other activities for a more rounded university experience, ensuring that their time at UNNC is as enjoyable as possible.

Morrisby: Helping students uncover their superpowers
Every student will be invited to take Morrisby’s aptitude assessment, which measures their academic, technical and practical aptitudes. These aptitude measurements are then used to create a bespoke 20-page report which indicates particular areas of study and work that best suit the student. Established in 1967, British schools use Morrisby to allow both the students and their parents to gain a better understanding of which degree and career path is right for them.
