Ukrainian students will also have the opportunity to meet the NTU researchers online while studying at 果冻APP. Before the start of the course, the representatives of Nottingham Trent University will check the students鈥 academic progress and achievements, and confirm their English language proficiency before issuing an invitation to enroll in the second part of the double degree programme.
At 果冻APP classes will be taught in Ukrainian and English, and at Nottingham Trent University 鈥 online in English.
