Study Abroad Programme

Study abroad students are able to apply from any university/agent. An agreement between UNNC and your home university is not necessary. You can apply directly to the Global Engagement Office for the UNNC Study Abroad Programme.

But before you lodge in your application, you should get an approval letter from your home university and your module selection should also be approved by your home school to ensure that your credit can be transferred back successfully.

Applicants from non-English speaking countries must submit evidence of English language proficiency at the time of application. Our minimum entry requirements are

• IELTS 6.5 with the writing band no less than 6.0 or
• TOEFL (paper based) 575 + TWE no less than 4.5 or
• TOEFL (computer based) 232 + TWE no less than 4.5 or
• TOEFL (IBT) 88 (minimum 19 in any element) or
• have passed 60 ECTS (European Credits) in English-taught courses
• English Proficiency letter issued by home institution

Students are required to undertake a full time course of study for one or two semesters. Modules are normally worth 10-20 credits each. The average full time workload is 60 Nottingham credits (30 ECTS credits) in one semester and 120 credits (60 ECTS credits) over two semesters in one year; 50 credits is the minimum full-time workload in one semester. 

UNNC offers a wide range of subjects for your period of study abroad, including Business, International Communications, International Studies, Economics, Science and Engineering, and English at different levels including UG and PG. Click here to view details.
