The cost of studying at Nottingham Trent University varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay £17,500 annually, to study in Nottingham Trent University.

Graduates from this course have included many highly successful published authors across a wide range of genres, such as Kim Slater, Helen Cooper, Hilary Spiers, Stephan Collishaw, Maria Allen, Di Slaney, and Nicola Monaghan, among many others.

The course is vocationally-focused and many recent graduates have acquired agents and publishing deals, as well as jobs in publishing, editing, copyediting, and other closely related industries. Many have also progressed to doctoral study in Creative Writing, often with full scholarships.
