Welcome
A personal message from the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Edward Peck
Choosing postgraduate study is an important decision
that will change your life. We know this from national
data and from watching our former students go on to
exciting careers. I also speak from my own experience.
However, selecting the right course at the right
university is crucial.
Nottingham Trent University is a very popular choice for
students considering postgraduate courses; for
example, we are the leading university in the UK for the
number of postgraduate students taking professional
qualifications.*
This popularity is in part based on the broad range of
programmes we offer, but it is also rooted in the
expertise and experience that we have developed in
supporting postgraduate students. Providing an
outstanding postgraduate experience is central to what
we do here at NTU.
We have invested 350 million over the last ten years
creating state-of-the-art learning facilities so we can
combine inspiring teaching with contemporary
technology. Our overall satisfaction score in the annual
National Student Survey is now at 88%, well above the
sector average, and we have won a number of
prestigious national awards recently for the quality of
our student support.
The goals of our postgraduate courses are to stimulate
and guide learning and launch or accelerate careers.
The relevance and rigour of our programmes, and our
close links with employers, underpin the success of our
students in the job market; 94% of our postgraduates
are employed or engaged in further study six months
after graduation**.
Of course, postgraduate study at NTU is not just about
the quality of our courses or the excellence of our
facilities; it also enables you to make new contacts and
create new networks amongst peers from over 160
countries around the world.
Study with us
With an increasing number of graduates armed with undergraduate degrees, postgraduate study
equips you with the experience and knowledge necessary to stand out from the crowd. It will
enable you to succeed in todays competitive employment market and also allows you to study in
depth the subject that you love.
Why study at postgraduate level?
Were flexible
Postgraduate study is a big commitment, so its
important to choose the course that best fits your
lifestyle and aspirations. As well as our full-time courses,
our distance learning, block-release and part-time study
options all enable you to combine further study with
work or family commitments. Take a look at our courses
to discover how they can fit in to your life.
Our courses
You will find a diverse range of taught postgraduate or postgraduate research programmes in the UK,
which are respected internationally. Below is a synopsis of the options available to you at NTU.
Research degrees
MRes
Professional courses
These courses are taught by industry experts and
delivered with working professionals in mind. Courses
available include Chartered Institute of Marketing
(CIM), Institute of Trade Mark Attorneys (ITMA) and
Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy
(CIPFA) qualifications.
PhD
These can be started immediately after your first or
masters degree, depending on your subject. They
involve research into a chosen topic under the
supervision of an experienced academic. They are:
up to four years full-time;
up to eight years part-time;
the stepping stone for progression into an academic
research career; and
courses that contribute to the worldwide knowledge
and understanding in the broader discipline.
PhDs include a thesis and a viva voce examination and
are accompanied by a taught research training course.
Youll find more information about our research degrees
through our Graduate School on page 42.
Professional Doctorates
We offer Professional Doctorates in a range of subjects.
You will need to complete an original piece of research
for your doctorate and present it as a thesis.
Professional Doctorates include a large taught or
directed study element, which is formally assessed.
They offer you the equivalent status of a PhD, and are
more appropriate for those pursuing professional rather
than academic careers.
Youll find out more about our Professional Doctorates
in the relevant School sections.
My experience of studying at
NTU has been dynamic.

Travelling to Nottingham
By car
By air
Car parking
You can normally park at Clifton or Brackenhurst
campus, if you book in advance. City site parking is
limited, but the Victoria Centre and Trinity Square car
parks are near to its main buildings. Alternatively you
can use the Park and Ride at the Forest Site, off Gregory
Boulevard, with the NET tram taking you to the City site.
Phoenix Park Park and Ride is also just off the M1
(junction 26) and has a tram to the City site. See
www.itsnottingham.info for details. Unfortunately,
we cannot normally reserve car parking spaces for open
events due to demand. Disabled visitors will need to
contact the department they are visiting in advance for
any special arrangements.
By coach
National Express coach services operate from the
Broadmarsh Bus Station which is a 15-20 minute
walk from the City site. The NET tram may be caught
at the nearby Nottingham Station to the City site.
The Go2 Uni 4 bus service picks up on Carrington Street,
for the Clifton campus (approx. 20 minute journey).
These buses depart every 12 minutes during term time
www.nationalexpress.com
By rail
Nottingham Midland Rail Station is 15-20 minutes
walk from our City site and five miles from Clifton
campus. You can catch the NET tram from there to the
City site. Use the Go2 Uni 4 bus stop on Carrington
Street near the station for Clifton campus (approx.
20 minutes) or you can get a taxi from the station
forecourt. You can use Newark Northgate Station then
the Pathfinder 100 bus, which is ten minutes walk from
the station, to reach Brackenhurst campus. Go to
www.nationalrail.co.uk for details or telephone
08457 484950.

By bus
The City site and Clifton campus are linked by the
Nottingham City Transport Go2 Uni 4 bus service
during term time. This service runs from the city centre
on Burton Street, near to the Newton building, and
passes close to the Broadmarsh Bus Station and railway
station and on to Clifton, returning by a similar route.
At other times use service no. 1. Brackenhurst is served
by Pathfinder bus (100) which runs from Queen Street
in Nottingham city centre.
There are regular local buses within Nottingham
operated by Nottingham City Transport, and interurban
buses operated by several companies from places
including Bingham, Chesterfield, Derby, Heanor,
Hucknall, Ilkeston, Leicester, Long Eaton, Loughborough,
Mansfield, Manchester, Newark and Ripley.

Important notes
This prospectus is correct at the time of going to print. However, given
the passage of time between its publication and the academic year to
which it relates, some of the information may change. It is very
important therefore that you check the Universitys website
www.ntu.ac.uk before making an application to the University, as some
details relating to the course and the status of any validation process,
the fees and other costs, as well as related services, may have been
updated.
The University will do all that it reasonably can to provide educational
services as described in the prospectus, on the website, or in other
documents issued by it, to appropriately enrolled students. Sometimes
circumstances beyond the control of the University mean that it
cannot provide the educational services described. Examples of such
circumstances include:
(a) industrial action by University staff or third parties;
(b) the unanticipated departure of key members of
University staff;
(c) power failure;
(d) acts of terrorism;
(e) damage to buildings or equipment;
(f) the acts of any governmental or local authority;
(g) the demands of the timetable and the availability of
academic staff in respect of possible optional subjects;
(h) where the numbers recruited to a course are so low that
it is not possible to deliver an appropriate quality of
education for students enrolled on it.
In such circumstances, the University will take all reasonable steps to
minimise the resultant disruption to those services and to those
students who are affected by, for example, offering those students the
opportunity where reasonably possible to move to another course,
another institution or by delivering a modified version of the same
course, but the University excludes liability, to the full extent that is
possible under the general law, for any loss and / or damage suffered by
any applicant or student as a result of such circumstances.
The University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the course
in accordance with the description applied to it in the Universitys
prospectus (as up-dated from time to time on the website or
elsewhere) for the academic year in which you begin the course.
However, the University will be entitled to make reasonable changes to
the course (including to the content and syllabus of the course where
developments in the subject area and / or accrediting bodies make
that necessary, or to the location of the course or the method of
delivery or assessment of the course) where that will enable the
University to deliver a better quality of educational experience to
students enrolled on the course. In making any such changes, the
University will aim to keep them to the minimum necessary to achieve
the required quality of experience and will notify and consult with
affected students in advance about any changes that are required.
Any changes to its courses are considered through the Universitys
quality assurance process; this process engages students through
appropriate University committees. If the University changes your
course and you are not satisfied with the changes, you will be offered
the opportunity to withdraw from the course and, if required,
reasonable support to transfer to another provider.
Any offer of a place at the University shall be subject to the student
enrolment conditions and the Universitys rules and regulations (as
amended from time to time). A copy of the student enrolment
conditions can be found at www.ntu.ac.uk/enrolement_conditions
or obtained from the Academic Office, Nottingham Trent University,
Burton Street, Nottingham, NG1 4BU.
