More than academic achievements
Are you curious? A natural problem solver? Passionate about making a difference? If so we want to hear from you. We consider all applicants as individuals, looking for qualities that we know will make you an exceptional professional. Maths and physics at A-level are not essential, as we'll teach you what you need to know and we also accept applications from those with prior relevant experience.

The application process
Like most universities you can apply to NMITE through UCAS. But we also accept applications directly via our website, at any time of year. So if you haven't made your decision by the UCAS deadline, or you’ve had a change of heart from your initial choices, you can still submit an application to NMITE (before the Clearing rush). We don’t charge application fees, so that’s a bonus too!

Of course, we welcome students who have studied maths and physics too – our community benefits from students from a diverse range of backgrounds.
You’ll find entry requirements for international and UK-based students on our undergraduate course pages. Don’t forget to check the English language requirements too. You can also discover more via the link below.
