- workshops and external courses where appropriate.
You will be expected to complete reports, assignments and deliver seminars. It is likely that you would attend a major international conference and these often include additional educational lectures for students.

Our postgraduate students can be funded from a variety of sources including UK research council grants and funds from the schools or University.
These schemes may have their own eligibility criteria, application procedures or educational requirements but applicants will always need to satisfy the University of Nottingham eligibility criteria.

The deadlines for such scholarships are quite early in the new year. Further information can be obtained from the International Office .

University to open major art and design public exhibition
A showcase of emerging art and design talent - which has a prestigious history of featuring award-winning works by graduating students - is set to open as an expansive public exhibition at Nottingham Trent University (NTU).
The Graduate Festival 24 from the Nottingham School of Art & Design, and Student Showcase in the School of Architecture, Design and Built Environment – both completely free to the public - will take place at NTU’s City Campus and external venues across Nottingham and London during summer 2024.
Subjects on show span fashion, knitwear and textile design; fashion management, marketing and communication; fine art, photography, filmmaking and animation; graphic design and illustration; design for stage and screen; product and furniture design; architecture, interior architecture and architectural technology.
Student work will also feature at national competitions, including fashion and knitwear design at Graduate Fashion Week, officially the world’s largest graduate fashion event.
A range of courses will exhibit at London’s prestigious New Designers shows, including product and furniture design, textiles, graphic design, illustration and animation, and at the D&AD New Blood festival for graphic design.
NTU has collaborated with several leading creative Nottingham spaces, including the Nottingham Contemporary, Broadway, Nottingham Playhouse, Backlit and Surface galleries, to showcase new creative talent across the city.
Online exhibitions will also take place, with works by students in the Nottingham School of Art & Design on www.wearecreativesntu.art from 13 May, while students in the School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment will be on featured on websites via ntu.ac.uk/c/adbe-student-showcase .
The shows start during the evening of Monday 13 May with an external theatre and costume design preview event at Nottingham Playhouse; the exhibition opens to the public on 14 May.
In July, a showcase of masters student works from the Nottingham School of Art & Design will take place at the NTU City campus and external venues in Nottingham, with exhibitions from courses including MA animation, photography, filmmaking, and fashion, marketing management and communications. MA fashion, knitwear and textiles courses will debut their work in a new London exhibition being held at London’s Swiss Church Gallery in Covent Garden.
Michael Marsden, Executive Dean of the Nottingham School of Art & Design, said: “Design and creativity serve as the architects of the world around us, and our Graduate Festival offers the opportunity for the public to get a glimpse of how the creative world may look tomorrow.
“Our events and exhibitions represent the culmination of our final year students' endeavours, offering an insight into their incredibly creative and forward-thinking minds.
“It provides a unique opportunity for members of the public to engage with our students in direct conversation, learn about their creations and gain an insight into their visions of the future.”
The Student Showcase in the School of Architecture, Design and Built Environment will begin at NTU on Saturday 25 May.
Dr Andrew Knight, Executive Dean of the School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment, said: “Our yearly Student Showcase provides a unique platform for us to exhibit to the public the remarkable accomplishments of our undergraduate students.
"Attendees not only marvel at the diverse display of creative designs but gain an insight into the meticulous research that underpins every prototype and architectural drawing.
“This comprehensive display offers a glimpse into the boundless depths of the students’ creativity, and we are always very proud to exhibit their incredible achievements."
Different course areas will exhibit at different times for the in-person shows. Please visit www.ntu.ac.uk/gradfest and ntu.ac.uk/c/adbe-student-showcase for full public view details and to book your place for ticketed events.
