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.

When you graduate you may be eligible to apply for registration with Social Work England and you will need to abide by its code of Professional Standards which is a requirement of the profession.

On completion of the course you may choose to enter the profession by working in local government or private providers of social care services for children and/or adults.
