Programme benefits

In addition to this advice and guidance, some participants who meet additional criteria could also be eligible for additional benefits should they apply to the University of Nottingham.

This programme is open to students from both State and Independent Schools. Students will hear whether they have been successful in gaining a place on the programme by the end of December, they will also then be allocated to Tier 1 or Tier 2. Tier 1 students may be eligible for the additional benefits of an enhanced contextual offer should they apply to the University of Nottingham, and the Nottingham Potential bursary should they become a student with us (restrictions apply so please visit our website for further details). All students will have the same access to sessions in the first year of the programme and have access to our online resources hub.
