We want our courses to be accessible to students from any background, so we’ve put together a cash support package in the form of non-repayable bursaries to provide financial help where it’s really needed. Details for 2025-26 will be advertised once approved by the university regulator – the Office for Students (OfS). Please check our website - www.nottinghamcollege.ac.uk - for more information.

The Level 5 HND with HTQ status qualification is widely-recognized in its own right and provides students with the skills required for employment in a broad range of industries with either a managerial or technical bias. After successfully completing the HND, you could top-up your qualification to the planned BEng (Hons) degree here at Nottingham College, or progress to a degree at a wide range of other higher education providers.Alternatively, you could pursue a career in research and development, design, technical sales and production.
