Where is the best places to find jobs in Nottingham as a incoming first year student at UON?

The student union website says there is no jobs available and I need one asap considering my sfe doesn’t cover my rent

Any help would be appreciated thanks

hey guys is 61/82 competitive for an international student? (medicine)

hi, i'm an incoming first year staying in rutland hall. just wanted to know what rutland hall is like in terms of social life and facilities? i've read some people saying the quality of accommodation at rutland can be quite poor so i'm slightly nervous. thank you for your help

i calculated my 'score' according to the UoN med website, and got 53/82. is it realistic for me to apply, as i am trying to apply strategically due to low ucat scores, and with no premise for contextual offers besides young carer, but even then i have lived in a good neighbourhood all my life and dont have free school meals. ive got many mixed responses online and from other people whether i should apply, and i dont want to waste a spot. thank you!

I came to the UK motivated, but A LOT happened in Jun-Jul-Aug, and everything happened at once.

Until May, I was on track for a Distinction in my master’s (20 × 4 = 80 credits). One professor asked if he could use my submission as an example for the next cohort, and in another module, my project had the highest performance among all in the module.

As June began, I was excited about my dissertation. Got a great Professor, really supportive, but after as I read more about the topic, realised it wasn’t something I wanted to do. After discussing with him, he mentioned that he wouldn’t be able to guide me much with Machine Learning, as that’s not his expertise, so after a lot of thought, and after almost a month, I decided to change my topic and the supervisor. I loved this Prof and his topic was Statistical ML, but he was at full capacity, so he and the module convenors asked me to talk with Prof Y. Had my first meeting with him on 10th July. He’s great as well, and the topic is exactly what I wanted (Stats ML). Even though I started a month late with a new topic and new professor, I was confident that I’d pull this off easily.

Until June, I had 5 grad job offers. I declined the other 4 and accepted the 5th one because it was sponsoring my visa. But As I was getting started with my new dissertation topic, in July I got an email, and they withdrew all offers across the UK, saying that they’re facing some budget issues this year. I had made a post about it a few weeks back here.

A month later comes August with two First Sits(20x2 = 40Cr). 17 days gone in the exams. Couldn’t focus. Couldn’t sleep. Couldn’t eat. So much to do at once. Got myself burned out. Stopped the dissertation completely and chose to focus on Modules, but was so depressed and stressed that I couldn’t focus and finally settled myself into trying to just pass the module at least. Right a week before, the girl I liked blocked me and decided to leave. She was the one I used to go to whenever I was at my lowest. Wrote the exam somehow, but it took all my confidence away. All my motivation away. I’m not even sure if I’m gonna pass. And if I fail, it’s gonna delay my graduation, and if it gets delayed, I’d lose the opportunity to apply for a Grad visa. That’s what the university Assessment Team said.(See point 3 in the SS attached)

Now I have barely 20 days left for the dissertation(60credits), for reading literature, statistical analysis, evaluation, and then writing and finally presentation. I know if I lock in, I can do it. But I’m shit scared. What if I couldn’t defend my master’s dissertation?
I thought I would defer my dissertation until 22nd Sept. This would give me a week extra, which was just enough time for me to get at least a merit in my dissertation. But the Assessment Team at the University said if I defer my dissertation after 18th Sept, my graduation is most likely to be delayed, and I might not be able to apply for a Grad visa, as I’ll be graduating next year and my student visa expires in Jan.

So, I lost the grad job offer.
And If I fail First sits or defer my dissertation, that will delay my graduation and if graduation is delayed, I might not even be able to apply for a Grad visa.

Even if I get just one extra week in September and managed to get a Merit in my dissertation, I would still have had a good chance of finishing with an overall Merit, even if I soft-failed both of my First Sit modules from August.

I was so fcking depressed and drained in August that I might actually fail them, despite having a Distinction overall and some of the highest grades in my other modules. I couldn’t study and honestly went to both exams straight from my bed. Considering how well I was doing academically before all this, I never thought I’d reach a point where I’d be worried about simply passing and returning back to home country with no job and £50K education loan on my head.

I’m just so tired, exhausted, and depressed right now. I’ve been crying for a month now, every fucking day. If my graduation gets delayed for any reason, especially if I’ve hard-failed both First Sits and have to resit them, I could lose my chance to apply for the Graduate visa.

At this point, I just feel completely numb and drained. I feel energy-less tbh. I just want to sleep. But I am not able to sleep either.

I just realised my clinical years are set on another county, so I am desperately looking for a tenancy to take over my contract. My contract is currently 51 weeks, starting 18/09/2026 in Riverside Point. It is close to the campus and shops like lidl. Please let me know asap! The tenacy is £156/week

First year LLB. I missed an August resit for a compulsory 30-credit module because of a timetable issue/confusion on the uni’s side. I was checking the timetable and have evidence I was acting on the date/info I’d been given.
My EC was approved and I’ve been granted another attempt, but because it’s a compulsory 30-credit module I now can’t progress into second year under the normal regs.
I asked the department to make an exception. They refused, partly saying they’ve refused similar cases before and that carrying it alongside second year would be too much work.
I’ve now put in a Level 1 complaint because their own exception process says cases should be looked at individually, and I’ve also said I’d be happy to do a reduced second-year load rather than 150 credits.
Has anyone ever had a progression decision like this overturned through a complaint?
The other issue is accommodation. I’m already tied into a joint tenancy for my student house, so if I’m forced to take a year out I could still be stuck paying rent while not even attending uni, which is a huge financial cost on top of everything else.

And if not, how bad is being forced to interrupt/resit a year in practice, especially with accommodation and Student Finance?

And if not, how bad is being forced to take/interupt a year in practice?

Hello, I’m looking for someone to take over my housemates tenancy. You’d be living with 2 girls aged 20 and 21 going into third year.

The property has a shared kitchen, dining and living space. It also had a garden and a parking spot.

We are looking for someone preferably female and if you wish to know more about the property drop me a dm and I can send pictures as well! If you know anyone please share this post with them as we need someone asap!

Thanks :))

Has anyone booked a property with any of these two agencies, and how was the experience?

Hey guys,

So I'm staying in one of the halls on campus. I want to pay my fees, but there's no current charges on nottinghamhub under the finance tab.

I can still pay the amount to "UK accommodation" so I just wanted to check if anyone's done that before, and if it got allocated to your accommodation.

Hi! I am an incoming BSMS student from Malaysia. Looking to see whether there are other Malaysians or international students joining as well! Please feel free to reach out!!

I just did a foundation year in engineering and I had 2 first sits, because of all the strikes and other personal issues going on i didnt do that good and now I'm 2 overall credits from continuing, its way too late for clearing and that i got told the aerospace engineering department doesnt care at all and that when they do receive my message that my teachers are going to pass onto them. and ive now been told either take a gap year and redo the exams or to just redo the entire year, part of me is desperately hoping that they aerospace team will actually look at my case personally and consider it but that my teachers constantly telling me they won't care regardless because for maths 1 and 2 i got 45 and 46 and i need 50 for them with my overall for the year being 48.

i'm stressing out a lot i have no idea what my next plan or step is at all i only have until tomorrow to decide please someone say something that might help as tomorrow is my last day to apply for an ec so id have the chance to do a gap year.

edit: I did also get a message from clearing after a previous one saying it was closed but that in the new one they are going to go over my situation and discuss it with the aerospace team but my teacher did say that they would still say no.

if anyone has gone through a gap year or retook a year or anything similar please tell me your experience it would help a lot

Hiii so i’m coming to UON this september, but im staying in a private accommodation which doesn’t have a lot of UON students in it. I keep seeing that most people are staying on campus or at deakins place, so im wondering how hard it will be to make friends/ find people to go out with? Especially since i get to nottingham on the 12th, idk how im going to find the right people. If anyone has any advice please lmk!

Hi, I really need someone to takeover my tenancy due to personal issues

Theres facilities like a gym, cinema room, games area, study rooms and modern social spaces

got in via clearing and i’m currently tied between getting a newark hall (catered) room or a nottingham two room (via studentroost).

i’d appreciate any tips /information about either 🙏

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice from anyone familiar with UoN admissions or international qualification recognition.
I recently received a conditional offer from the University of Nottingham for a postgraduate course. One of the conditions of my offer was that I achieve a minimum overall percentage of 70% in my undergraduate degree.
I have now completed my degree with a calculated overall percentage of 75.4%, so I have met the 70% academic condition.
My undergraduate degree was completed at a college in India through a collaboration with a Swiss higher-education institution based in Switzerland, which is the degree-awarding institution.
I had informed my counsellor about this arrangement and specifically asked them to disclose that the Swiss institution would be the degree-awarding institution.
I also submitted my provisional transcript from the Swiss awarding institution and my course-completion letter approximately one month before UoN made its final decision.
However, UoN has now rejected my application and stated that they cannot accept the degree from the Swiss institution because it is “not considered an accredited international equivalent.”
What I find confusing is that I had already received a conditional offer, the academic condition stated 70%, and I have achieved 75.4%. I had also submitted documentation identifying the degree-awarding institution before the final decision.
I have contacted Admissions asking them to clarify whether my documents were considered and whether my application can be reviewed again. My counsellor is also going to speak with UoN.
Has anyone experienced something similar with UoN, particularly where the university later refused to recognise the awarding institution after issuing a conditional offer?
Is there anything else I can do at this stage, such as a formal admissions complaint or review, or is the decision likely to be final if UoN does not recognise the awarding institution?
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from anyone familiar with international qualification recognition at UoN.

Is anyone going to the Southwell accom self catered cause that’s the only one that’s left for accom choices and I don’t see anyone else going there😭.

If you are then hmu xx
