Apart from contacting staff at the various help desks within the libraries, you are encouraged to make full use of the range of LIS handouts and guides. These are freely available in the libraries and are prominently displayed at key locations in the buildings. A significant part of your learning experience will require you to make extensive independent use of a wide range of information sources and research tools. As your course progresses this will involve you in developing your information handling skills as part of your personal and academic development. As well as offering individual help at the Learning Support Offices, Information Specialists deliver information skills training via the Information Skills Programme.
Students can apply to study in America, Australia or Mexico.
The Programme is free and all you have to pay for is your travel and living expenses. The Exchange Programme is co-ordinated by the International Office which has links with over 30 international institutions. The Programme enables Nottingham Trent University students to study overseas, and international students to come to The Nottingham Trent University in order to gain a valuable international education. The purpose of the exchange is to enable you to enhance your studies and your CV, experience a new culture and country, and help you to determine your future ambitions. The exchange takes place in the first or second semester of your second year at The Nottingham Trent University.
