There is no specific deadline for applications. However we would recommend applying at soon as possible so that you can focus on the rest of Year 11 and your GCSE’s. Some courses do get full as well so it is in your best interests to sort your application as early as possible to ensure you get a conditional offer and do not miss out on a place for your preferred course.
Yes! You can apply for more than one course if you haven’t decided yet (if you choose to study A Levels you will need to choose a minimum of three subjects). There is no obligation to accept a place at this stage, you can decide once you receive your GCSE results and confirm your choice with us when you enrol.
You can apply for more than one course with us, but as our courses for school leavers are full time you will only study one. You might also have to study Maths, English or both alongside your course if you did not pass them at GCSE.
A Levels are different, you will mix and match different subjects (3 or 4).
If you have applied for more than one course with us, you will need to make your decision on which course/A Levels to continue with when you enrol in the summer.
If you do not pass your GCSE Maths or English (or both) at school then don’t worry, it is not the end of the world and can re-take the subjects with us at College.
Hopefully with different teachers and a fresh learning environment we will help you pass them so you can progress to a Level 3 course with us. To study any Level 3 course you will need a grade 4 or above in GCSE Maths and English.
Of course! We know lots of choice can be overwhelming so if you’re not sure what you want to study then don’t worry. Our team of expert advisors and careers support are on hand to help you navigate your options and give you individualised advice. You can book an appointment by calling us on 0115 9 100 100 or by sending an email to: careersteam@nottinghamcollege.ac.uk

If you don’t get the exam results you had hoped for it’s important not to panic. We are here to help, and we have lots of study options to suit many circumstances. There are usually a few key options:
1. Depending on your exam results you may be able to study your chosen course at a lower level. You will still have the opportunity to progress.
2. If you didn’t pass your Maths or English qualifications you may be able to study them alongside your chosen course.
3. We offer GCSE re-sits so you can re-take subjects if you want to improve your results.
4. If there are spaces available you may be able to transfer to another course with different entry requirements.
If you have applied and accepted a place with us and didn’t get the exam results you hoped for, it is important to still attend your enrolment session. We will be able to discuss your options with you and get you enrolled onto a suitable study option.
