About This Programme
Ambition Nottingham is a free two-year online programme open to all Year 12 students across the UK, designed to support your journey to university regardless of where you want to study. Across the programme you'll attend subject taster sessions with Nottingham academics, Q&As with current students, and get guidance on course selection, student finance, accommodation, and the university application process. You'll also get VIP access to Nottingham Open Days with extra activities and support. The programme has two tiers — Tier 1 students who meet the widening participation criteria and complete eight live sessions become eligible for an enhanced contextual offer at the University of Nottingham plus the Nottingham Potential bursary if they go on to study there. Tier 2 students get access to all the same online resources and events without the contextual offer benefit. Either way it's a genuinely useful two-year support programme that costs nothing and works around your schedule.
