Modes of study: an explanation

Research programmesWe offer a variety of research programmes, from masters degrees with a research element, such as the MRes or MA (by research), to doctoral work – the most advanced form of postgraduate study. As a research student at Nottingham, you will have close contact with academic staff and receive personal research supervision. Research training is provided to support your work and to help you gain skills in research methodology, skills specific to your research area and a greater understanding of your subject as a whole.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Duration: three years (guide only)

A PhD is awarded on the successful completion of a programme of supervised research and is assessed by an oral examination and final thesis.

Doctor of Medicine (DM) Duration: two-three years (guide only)

The Doctor of Medicine is a research-based postgraduate degree for fully qualified medical doctors. It is similar to a PhD but can sometimes be completed more quickly and often contains a component of clinical research.

Doctor of Engineering (EngD) Duration: four years (guide only)

The EngD is an alternative to the traditional PhD and provides a more vocationally oriented doctorate in engineering. It encourages the development of innovative thinking while tackling real industrial problems and combines academic research in an industrial context with taught modules in related subjects.

Professional Doctorate (PD) Duration: three years (guide only)

Professional Doctorates are doctoral level qualifications, equivalent to traditional PhDs. They are rigorous, part-time programmes of advanced applied study and research, specifically designed to meet the needs of practising professionals. They provide a framework for the integration of professional expertise and scholarly inquiry to explore specific areas of interest.

Master of Philosophy (MPhil) Duration: one year (guide only)

The MPhil requires research skills and training similar to a PhD yet its scope and complexity are less than that required for a doctorate. You can apply to upgrade to a PhD after one year of study, or two years for part-time students. The MPhil is assessed by the submission of a thesis.

Master of Research (MRes) Duration: one year (guide only)

The MRes offers general research training for those intending to pursue a PhD or a career that requires research skills. On an MRes course you will submit a dissertation of around 35,000 words, take 20 credits of generic research training and have the option to take up to 40 credits of relevant taught modules. The number of taught modules you choose to take determines the length of your dissertation.

MA/MSc (by research) Duration: one year (guide only)

The MA/MSc (by research) is similar to the MRes but you can take up to 60 credits of relevant taught modules and do not have to take 20 credits of generic research training modules. Some programmes have a prescribed structure of taught modules while in others the decision is made in consultation with your supervisor. You will submit a dissertation of between 25,000 and 45,000 words depending on how many taught modules you choose to take.

Doctoral Training CentresFully funded EngD and PhD opportunities are available through our Doctoral Training Centres. See pages 30-31.

Taught programmesOur range of taught programmes continually develops in response to changes in society and the need to integrate the latest research findings. Our courses also evolve in response to business and industry, ensuring the employability of our graduates is significantly enhanced by our teaching.

Masters courses can provide anything from vocational training to preparation for further research. You will usually work in small groups and learning may be in the form of undertaking project work, industrial or business placements, engaging in problem-solving classes, lectures, tutorials or discussion groups and writing essays.They might also include an individual or group project or research dissertation, for which you will have close contact with the academics undertaking the research.

Masters degree Duration: one year (guide only)

Masters degrees are intensive taught programmes with a dissertation or project. Nottingham offers a range of masters degrees including the Master of Architecture (MArch), Master of Arts (MA), Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Laws (LLM) and Master of Science (MSc).

Diploma (PGDip) and certificate (PGCert) Duration: six-nine months (guide only)

Diplomas and certificates are often vocational programmes of study or structured in a similar way to masters programmes. These courses are usually assessed by exams and coursework and a dissertation is not required.

Distance learning Distance learning could be suitable for students whose geographical location, employment, family commitments or busy lifestyle does not allow them to attend regular on-campus classes. The University offers a range of delivery methods for distance learners, from courses delivered entirely online to blended learning courses that have a compulsory component of scheduled contact time.

Distance learning courses are currently offered in the areas of: • applied ergonomics• applied linguistics• brewing sciences• church history• education• English language education• English studies• health communication• international higher education• literary linguistics and modern English language• mentoring and coaching• public procurement law and policy• systematic and philosophical theology• Teaching English for Academic Purposes• Teaching English to Speakers of Other

Languages (TESOL)• workplace health

Realising innovations Within the University, inventions arising from research can be developed into commercial business ventures, delivering global solutions that make a difference in the real world.

Our support for innovation attracts world-class academics who know that the infrastructure in place can take their inventions, ideas and new technologies to the global marketplace. Many of our PhD and postdoctoral students also play a large part in the development of new technologies.

Encouraging entrepreneursEntrepreneurial students are nurtured at Nottingham. Our Institute for Enterprise and Innovation (UNIEI) offers practical business services through its EnterpriseLab, which provides entrepreneurial students with business advice and mentoring, help with planning, and surgeries on finance, marketing, intellectual property, taxation and funding.

Examples of companies supported by the EnterpriseLab include Neehoy and Sirosa. Neehoy won the Digital Economy Young Entrepreneurs Scheme (YES) competition in 2012 for a smartphone app in the same space as Freecycle. A beta version of the app is available now in the Google Play store for Android devices and an iOS version is in development: www.neehoy.co.uk

Sirosa is a web and mobile application development company founded by two MSc Entrepreneurship students: www.sirosa.com

The EnterpriseLab facilities are also available to our graduates after they leave the University.

We are keen to help our postgraduate students secure funding. However, please be aware that financial support is limited, so we recommend that you investigate opportunities as early as possible.

The majority of postgraduate students studying in the UK fund their own studies, often from a package made up of personal savings, family loans or contributions, part-time work, bank loans and support from a trust or charity.

On these pages, we have listed a step-by-step guide for finding funding. You will find further funding information on individual course pages of the online prospectus – www.nottingham.ac.uk/pgstudy – and on school, department and institute websites.

There is also a table of funding opportunities on pages 164-167.

When you are hereDuring your course, we can help you identify opportunities for funding that could enable you to travel or attend a conference, for example, as part of your studies. The Graduate School administers a number of competitive awards – see page 34 for more information.

Fees and funding for international and EU students The University guarantees that if you accept a place and register here, you will pay the same fee for each year of your programme. A large number of scholarships are available to international and EU offer-holders. Please visit our scholarships pages at www.nottingham.ac.uk/internationalstudents/scholarships

English language requirements vary depending on subject area and school – see the course listings starting on page 68 for more information. Please note the course listings list IELTS and TOEFL iBT entry requirements but we accept other English language qualifications, including the Pearson Test of English (PTE). Please see www.nottingham.ac.uk/entryrequirements

The University’s IELTS Centre offers IELTS tests approximately twice a month throughout the year. For further details, see www.nottingham.ac.uk/ielts

With students from all over the world, CELE is a culturally diverse and lively community committed to ensuring that you succeed in your chosen academic and professional field.

If you are an international student CELE can support you with your English language needs by providing you with academic skills and language support both before and during academic study at the University.

Presessional English programmesIf you have not yet reached the required IELTS or TOEFL score (or recognised equivalent) for your chosen course, you can attend a CELE English language course prior to registration. Designed to develop your academic literacy, critical thinking and independent learning, you can progress through up to four English for Academic Purposes (EAP) stages, depending on your particular language level. If you reach your target level in the CELE final assessment, you can progress directly to your academic programme.

If you need to make substantial improvements to your English language skills, CELE offers 30- and 40-week programmes. The 40-week programme has one entry point in October, which finishes the following September before your degree programme commences. The 30-week programme has two entry points – October and January.

If your English score is close to that required for your course of study, you can apply for a shorter programme (between 5 and 20 weeks). CELE also offers specialist summer courses for students going on to study built environment, business or law.

Insessional English programmesIf you have already met the English language entry requirements for your chosen course but feel you would like to further develop your understanding of the linguistic, academic and social conventions of living and studying in Britain, you may join CELE’s insessional programmes. The group classes in this programme are available to international and EU students who are already registered on a course at The University of Nottingham, and are free-of-charge. You can also book individual consultations, which are available throughout term-time and during the summer vacation. For more information about CELE, please visit www.nottingham.ac.uk/cele

On stage and screenFor film buffs, the city centre has a 14-screen multiplex and the excellent independent Broadway Cinema which offers the best in arthouse and world cinema as well as a busy cafe, which is a favourite with students across the city. If you prefer the stage, there’s Nottingham Playhouse and the Theatre Royal, Nottingham Castle for outdoor performances and the University’s own Lakeside Arts Centre. For comedy, try the Glee Club, Jongleurs and Just the Tonic.

Food and drinkThe city has more pubs, bars and restaurants in one square mile than any other European city. It offers contemporary canal-side bars, celebrity chef restaurants, stylish independent bars, pavement cafes and an Old Market Square with modern chain pubs and late-night party bars. In contrast, the city is home to two of England’s oldest pubs – Ye Olde Salutation Inn and Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem – which stand close to Nottingham Castle.

Music sceneWhatever your musical tastes, Nottingham has something for everyone. The Royal Concert Hall hosts opera and classical concerts, while the huge Capital FM Arena attracts the major nationwide popular music and comedy tours. The legendary Rock City showcases top rock and indie acts, while venues such as the Rescue Rooms and Bodega Social Club showcase the latest alternative acts before they make it big. Nottingham is proud to be home to up-and-coming musical talent including Jake Bugg and Nottingham University band Alaskan Faction, who recently received their first play on BBC Radio One.

How to apply

Entry requirementsEntry requirements for our postgraduate programmes vary depending on the course and are listed on the school pages starting on page 68. Please note if you are an international or EU student and your first language is not English, you will also need to meet the English language requirements for your chosen course. See page 50 for more information.

Apply onlineTo apply online, visit my.nottingham.ac.uk/pgapps

The online postgraduate application system:

• enables you to fill out a standard application form online• allows you to submit your application to the

University immediately• ensures that your application is not delayed or lost in

the post• issues an automatic acknowledgement of receipt of

your application

In addition, when you have submitted your postgraduate application, you can:• view its progress by using the online tracking system• access extra information about Nottingham and

the University

If you would prefer to fill out a paper application, you can download an application pack from www.nottingham.ac.uk/pgstudy/how-to-apply or request a pack by emailing [email protected]

Applying for a research programmeThere are a number of routes you can take when applying for a research course. Some students identify a specific supervisor working in their area of interest and approach them directly to discuss their research idea. If the idea is of interest to the supervisor, they may help you develop a research proposal and application to secure funding.

Other students find out if research in their area of interest is taking place in the University and then submit an application direct to the relevant school, department or institute.

Information on supervisors or research interests at the University is available on the individual school websites. Applications can also be made directly through the applicants' portal at my.nottingham.ac.uk/pgapps

This application will usually include a research proposal. For details of how to write a research proposal visit www.nottingham.ac.uk/pgstudy and click on ‘How to apply’.

If applying for a studentship (a fully funded research place in a specific area), the process is similar to applying for a job and the advert will give specific details of how to do this. Many of our studentships are advertised on www.jobs.ac.uk and www.findaphd.com as well as on individual school websites.

Closing datesThe majority of postgraduate taught programmes start in late September, and there is generally no second point of entry during the year for these courses. See individual school pages starting on page 68 for start dates outside of the usual late September date. Although most postgraduate courses do not have formal closing dates, (see below if you are an international student) you are advised to apply well in advance of the start of your course. Entry to many postgraduate research programmes can take place throughout the year but start dates must be on the first day of the month.

Closing dates for international studentsInternational students in particular are advised to submit applications as early as possible. The deadline for applicants starting in September 2014 is 11 August 2014.

An offer of a place is needed for many of the scholarships available to international students, and closing dates are often early in the year. Furthermore, you will need to have an unconditional offer of a place on your course and be able to demonstrate you have secured funding before you can apply for your student visa. The student visa process is likely to take some time so if you are outside the UK you will need to factor this into the overall timescales. For more information on visa processing times see www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/general-info

For details of international scholarship deadlines, please visit www.nottingham.ac.uk/internationalstudents/scholarships
