This course is part of the University's commitment to widening participation.
This foundation pathway enables UK applicants to gain the subject-specific knowledge and skills required to study the arts or humanities at degree-level. We do not consider students who already have a degree, EU or International applicants for this programme.
As well as having the required grades, your current or most recent school cannot be an independent school, and you must meet at least one of the following personal background criteria:
- You live in an area where people are less likely to go to university – check your postcode
- You were in receipt of free school meals (FSM) on any census day in the six years before the census day of your final KS4 year (that is, the year you were aged 15-16 years old)
- You are the first generation in your family to enter higher education
- You will be over 21 years old when you begin your course
- You have spent more than three months in local authority care (for this criterion you do not need to have attended a state school)
- You have refugee status from the Home Office
- You need to study in the East Midlands (for example, for family, cultural or financial reasons)
- You provide long term care of a sick or disabled family member
Where relevant you should include reference to 6, 7 and 8 in your personal statement, or provide this information via artssupport@nottingham.ac.uk when you submit your UCAS application.
Contextual admissions
We consider applicants solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential – we use exam grades to prioritise applicants but look at a range of factors and aim to give everyone an equal opportunity to show their achievements.
We understand that background and personal circumstances can have an impact on academic performance at school or college. Applicants who are eligible under our contextual admissions policies may be considered for a reduced contextual offer.
