| How to make a successful NTU scholarship application | Please share our advice on how to make a successful application: When writing statements, please encourage your students to focus on their achievements, their career goals and why they feel that NTU is the right fit for them. Showing that they have done detailed research into their course, course teams and facilities can also be very helpful. This one is really important – we want to hear their own voice. Please discourage them from using templates or AI-generated content. They can use spell checks and tools to confirm any translations, but they should not use software to write statements or essays.
|
|
|
|
| Spend good time on your application and use your 500 words wisely. Make sure to use your own words. | | Proofread your essay and check all your details. |
|
| Express your interests and your achievements - we want to know all about you and your goals! | | Believe in yourself – you are good enough to apply so give it a go. |

Pre-sessional English for Academic Purposes (PEAP) at NTU – discounts on 2026 courses and training |
|
|
|
|
For students who need help meeting our English language entry requirements, we’re excited to share our PEAP courses with you as the perfect preparation course for academic study at NTU. This year, all successful students will benefit from our PEAP Progression Award. For 15-week students this is a 25% (£1,225) discount and for 10 and 6-week students we offer a £524 discount which covers the cost of a visa application for their follow-on degree. The award is deducted from their tuition fees when the student enrols onto their follow-on NTU degree. Courses start 27 April 2026 (15-week) and all courses include six weeks on the NTU City Campus. The 15 and 10-week courses start online.
Please share the pre-sessional English webpage with your students, where you’ll also find a video of a class in action and a video of a recent webinar. Please also refer to your training presentation for PEAP on your Global Friends webpage which has been prepared for you by the course leader, Jane Vickers. |
