Michelle from Kenya

Foundation Certificate student at the University of Nottingham International College

I chose Kaplan because it has a strong academic reputation and it is also quite flexible in terms of course length. The College facilities are great. Everything is state-of-the-art and it's never too crowded, so all students are accommodated all the time.

Marelis from Panama

Progressed from a Foundation Certificate to a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering

Taking this course really helped me to get used to the UK's university culture and education system. It meant that when I started my degree, I already knew my way around Nottingham, so I wasn’t stressed and I could just focus on my studies! Our lecturers were so helpful and understanding of international students, and it was lovely to get to know them.

Small city life

Nottingham is the perfect size for students — big enough to have lots going on, but without being so large it's overwhelming. You can explore attractions like Nottingham Castle, or enjoy the museums, art galleries, and beautiful parks and open spaces.
