Nottingham  Advantage Award - NAA 

While some modules will be restricted to Postgraduate or Undergraduate students only, many of our modules are available to all students. However, we recognise that the Postgraduate student experience is different to being an Undergraduate, so we give our Postgraduate NAA students the extra opportunity to complete an optional poster presentation to round up and reflect on their Postgraduate experience.

During this you can reflect on the skills you have gained throughout your time at Nottingham, the benefits of your Postgraduate degree, how you have developed and what you have to offer an employer.
