Academic life
You’ll find studying at university is very different to school or college. You’ll be focusing on a subject you love, and depending on what you choose, there will be a lot more variety in terms of teaching methods. We’ll help you settle in to this new way of learning, and you can find out exactly what’s involved for your course in the ‘How will I study?’ section of the school brochure for your subject: www.nottingham.ac.uk/go/schoolbrochures
Have a look at our jargon buster on pages 240-241 for explanations of some of the most common terms you’ll hear while researching universities.
The transition to higher education is an important process from your first year onwards. The University can offer you lots of support and resources to help you get in to the swing of things. Effective study There are lots of resources available to help you with the transition into higher education. Many of our degrees include modules or other activities designed to help you get used to what you’ll experience over the next few years. You’ll also have access to our Student Services Centres with specialist study support staff ready to talk to you about your work; as well as plenty of helpful guides full of advice. www.nottingham.ac.uk/studyingeffectively
Facilities for learning
We understand that everyone learns in different ways. As well as traditional methods such as lectures and seminars, your learning will be complemented by technology including podcasts and lecture capture facilities. You’ll also have access to 24-hour PC suites, Wi-Fi and a free laptop and iPad loan service. We have eight libraries with a huge number of resources, including more than one million books and journals; both printed and ebook items. You might be spending a lot of time in the library, so it’s good to know there are group work spaces, silent study zones, PCs, iPads, laptops and plasma screens, everything you’ll need. If you are interested in a science or engineering degree, see page 17 for details of our new Engineering and Science Library. www.nottingham.ac.uk/is/libraries www.nottingham.ac.uk/teaching
Learn a language
If you’ve ever wanted to learn a new language, the University’s Language Centre gives you the opportunity to study a wide variety at different levels, even if you’re not taking a course that involves a language. All languages are offered from beginners’ level with some going up to near native competency. The inter-faculty languages programme offers credited modules, which are free for students if taken as part of your credit allocation (your credit allocation is the amount of credits you have to take each semester), in 13 languages: Arabic, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. There are also evening classes that are open to everyone. www.nottingham.ac.uk/languagecentre
Sharing knowledge
U-Now is our collection of open educational materials that have been uploaded to the web. It has been created to enable you to browse or download material about subjects from across the University and complete full modules or smaller-scale learning objectives. There are no assessments and no credits are awarded: U-Now is simply about providing you with opportunities to learn more about a familiar subject or study a new one. unow.nottingham.ac.uk
