Cost of living support
We know that the cost of living crisis is affecting our students too. This is why NTU has invested over £1 million in supporting you to continue to make the most of your student experience.
As well as a host of student benefits already available, here are some of the ways we are helping you to cut costs.
Study essentials
We provide free £20 printing and photocopying credit at the start of each year to help you complete those projects and dissertations.
Self-certification is now available for all forms of assessment extensions – to a maximum of seven days.
Currently in order to request an extension on an assessment deadline due to illness you need to submit a University Medical Note along with your Notification of Extenuating Circumstances (NEC).
There is a cost associated with this, so to further support you with the cost-of-living price increases, we have updated our NEC policy. Any short illness of seven days or less that impacts your ability to submit an assessment can now be self-certified, without needing to visit a doctor and pay for a University Medical Note.
Reducing the cost of eating on campus
Self-catering stations at each campus
At each campus, students have the opportunity to take advantage of purpose built self-catering stations.
A range of facilities are provided:
- City Campus (Dryden Centre): hot water, microwave and a water refill station.
- Clifton campus (Wellbeing room and the Global Lounge): microwave, kettle and a water refill station.
- Brackenhurst (SU Bar and Brack Farmhouse): microwave, fridge, hot water and a Student Social Space.
- Mansfield (Teaching and Learning Centre and University Centre): microwave and hot water (TLC01 only) plus water refill points in every building.
Running low on the basics - free food parcels are available
We know life is getting expensive. If you, or any NTU student, are struggling for cash or in financial difficulty, please let us help you with the essentials. For those who really need our support we have free food parcels available with a few basics that should help keep you going (cereals, oats, lentils, rice, pasta, tea and coffee). Food parcels can be collected at any time from NTU Security at City, Clifton and Brackenhurst campuses.
Sport and societies
The keeping fit or joining in with your favourite society is great value for money. You can take part in classes, and use the gym, sports pitches and facilities with an NTU Sport membership. Or meet like-minded people at one of NTSU’s 130 student-led societies.
Finance and money
We have a number of measures to help you financially:
- We provide Money Matters workshops to give advice and support on managing your money.
- Continuing support is available through the NTU Support Fund, available to qualifying undergraduate home students.
