Studying at university is all about preparing you for your future – wherever life takes you. You’ll want a course that gives you the knowledge you need, a student experience that gives you the confidence to succeed in the career you choose and the support to make the most of the opportunities open to you.
Experience counts
Having the right knowledge is key, but the experience of putting that knowledge into practice is what employers are looking for. Nottingham Trent University is one of the UK’s most employment-focused universities and all the courses include some form of work-based experience. From working on live projects to solving real-life business problems, you get a chance to take what you’ve learned in lectures and apply it to real solutions.
A great way to get experience is to spend some time working as part of your course. Placements can last up to a year and give you the opportunity to put what you have learned into practice while earning a salary. Nottingham Trent University is in the top 10 UK universities for the number of students on year-long work placements (HESA 2019/20) and students get support to find and apply for the right placement for them.
Support all the way
Whether you are not sure what’s next or have a clear idea for your future, it’s important to get the support to find the right opportunities and make the right choices. Talking through your plans with an advisor can help you plan ahead and get where you want to go.
Nottingham Trent University has a large employability team that can support your career planning, making applications and preparing for interviews. With experts in each subject area, you can be sure of getting the right advice to help you get where you want to be. And the support doesn’t stop when you graduate. You can still get support from the team for three years after you finish your studies, plus access to online resources for as long as you need.
