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 will work as sports journalists for regional, national and international sports journalism brands such as the BBC, ITV, Sky Sports, The Athletic, BT Sport and Reach. They will also move into other areas of the media, including digital marketing and PR, content creation for sporting organisations and event/stadium hosts for live sporting events.
