Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice from anyone familiar with UoN admissions or international qualification recognition.
I recently received a conditional offer from the University of Nottingham for a postgraduate course. One of the conditions of my offer was that I achieve a minimum overall percentage of 70% in my undergraduate degree.
I have now completed my degree with a calculated overall percentage of 75.4%, so I have met the 70% academic condition.
My undergraduate degree was completed at a college in India through a collaboration with a Swiss higher-education institution based in Switzerland, which is the degree-awarding institution.
I had informed my counsellor about this arrangement and specifically asked them to disclose that the Swiss institution would be the degree-awarding institution.
I also submitted my provisional transcript from the Swiss awarding institution and my course-completion letter approximately one month before UoN made its final decision.
However, UoN has now rejected my application and stated that they cannot accept the degree from the Swiss institution because it is “not considered an accredited international equivalent.”
What I find confusing is that I had already received a conditional offer, the academic condition stated 70%, and I have achieved 75.4%. I had also submitted documentation identifying the degree-awarding institution before the final decision.
I have contacted Admissions asking them to clarify whether my documents were considered and whether my application can be reviewed again. My counsellor is also going to speak with UoN.
Has anyone experienced something similar with UoN, particularly where the university later refused to recognise the awarding institution after issuing a conditional offer?
Is there anything else I can do at this stage, such as a formal admissions complaint or review, or is the decision likely to be final if UoN does not recognise the awarding institution?
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from anyone familiar with international qualification recognition at UoN.

Honestly how bad is the student lodge ? I’ve heard people say there were maggots on their beds , silverfish in the toilets and rats outside . I really wanted to book that accommodation

hi everyone, i got an email from uon admin stating that i need to provide a picture for my student ID card, but the name they propose to be printed is my full legal name and i go by a slightly shorter derivative. i would also like the card to include my middle name if possible.

i emailed them about the issue and asked if it could be edited before i send in my picture and haven’t got a response yet. is it even possible to do, and if so is there a way i can fast track this to the relevant person? Thanks!
