This time spent working in business provides you with crucial work experience, which is highly prized and much sought after by employers upon graduation. The course will equip you with the understanding of accounting, finance, culture, marketing, logistics and operations within an international business and how these impact the real world.

A lower offer may be made based on a range of factors, including your background (such as where you live and the school or college you attended), your experiences and individual circumstances (you may have been in care, for example). This is called a contextual offer and we get data from UCAS to make these decisions. NTU offers a student experience like no other, and this approach helps us to find students who have the potential to succeed here, but may have faced barriers that can make it more difficult to access university. We also consider equivalent qualifications and combinations. Please contact Nottingham Trent University Admissions team for further information.
