Inter-Campus PhD
If you are studying for a PhD at any of the university's campuses, you may apply to spend up to one year at one of the other campuses. If you are accepted onto an inter-campus exchange programme, you will continue to pay the normal fee for your home campus throughout your study.
If you are not part of an inter-campus exchange programme, then the following applies:
- Home students based at the Nottingham campus will be charged the normal home fee for all parts of their study, including the period at an international campus
- International students based at the Nottingham campus will be charged the normal international fee for the period of their study in Nottingham and the relevant campus international fee for the period at an international campus
- Students based at one of the international campuses will be charged the relevant international campus fee for the period of their study at that campus; for any period of study at the Nottingham campus, you will be charged the relevant visiting international postgraduate research student fee; for any period of study at a second international campus you will be charged the relevant international campus fee for that second campus
In all cases, for periods of study less than one year the fee charged will be an appropriate proportion of the full year fee for the course.
Staff
If you are a member of staff of the university based in Nottingham, you may register for a postgraduate degree in an area relevant to your employment at the UK home rate of fee (even if you would normally be eligible for the international rate) if, at the start of your period of study, you hold an employment contract amounting to at least 0.5 fte. If you would normally be eligible for the international rate and you stop being a member of staff during the course, your fee status will revert to international from the start of the next academic term.
If you are a member of staff of the University of Nottingham Malaysia or the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and you register for a research degree at the University of Nottingham UK campus, you will be charged the Malaysia and China campus staff registration fee (which will normally be the same as the relevant UK home rate of fee at the University of Nottingham UK). If you stop being a member of staff or your contract falls below 0.5fte, you will revert to the normal fee from the next term.
If you are registered for the degree of Doctor of Medicine, are employed full-time at the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust or the Derby Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and you have been ordinarily resident within the UK for at least three years at the start of your course but are nonetheless classed as an international student for fees purposes, you will be charged the special 'DM International Working Doctors' rate of fee. If you stop being a member of staff of one of the Trusts mentioned above or stop being employed full-time, you will revert to the normal international fee from the next academic term.
In all the above cases, you will be expected to provide evidence of your employment.
