Where is Nottingham Trent University located?

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has its city campus located on Shakespeare Street in Nottingham, a city in central England’s Midlands region. The motherland of one of the world’s best-loved folk heroes, Robin Hood, is a great place to call home for both British and international students.

One of the cultural, financial, social and sporting capitals of the Midlands, Nottingham is one of the best student cities in the world. It sits in a great location and is easy on the wallet having one of the United Kingdom’s lowest living costs. Moreover, it is a vibrant and energetic city with two major universities that is renowned for its unique culture, rich history, great nightlife, art, shopping and sports.

No wonder Nottingham bustles with students, attracting over 60,000. The large student population contributes significantly to the city having one of the youngest populations of any major city in the UK. It has a higher proportion of people under the age of 30 than any other except Manchester according to the Nottingham City Council 2017 survey.

It is a perfect place to live a balanced life - a place where big-city life meets a relaxed vibe. It is young and alive but a modest-sized city that is cultured. It combines old and new well with a mix of modern and historic buildings from ancient pubs to contemporary art galleries. The city has a lively social scene but also lots of nearby places to escape the excitement and relax at one of several surrounding parks and gardens.

From serene green areas to booming nights, Nottingham is a great place to live and learn and it reflects in the world university rankings. It was ranked inside the top 50 in the world in QS’s 2019 Best Student Cities listing at number 48.

You will be receiving world-class teaching in state-of-the-art facilities equipped with professional-standard tools and cutting-edge technology. NTU understands that real learning goes far beyond the classroom, so they have built facilities with careers in mind, not just degrees.

From fashion studios, newsrooms and TV studios to textile workshops, mock courtrooms and even its own trading floor, NTU has invested over £400m across all campuses since the turn of the millennium to give its students a premium postgraduate learning experience.

NTU is also changing the world with its research, earning the highest national honour for a UK university because of it - the Queen’s Anniversary Prize. NTU’s world-leading research and pioneering projects have impacted people’s lives from cancer analysis to studies on the detection of explosives in luggage.

Commendable accomplishments

It was named the most sustainable university by the UK People and Planet University League in 2016.

The university earned these coveted awards in recognition of its strong student satisfaction, quality of teaching, overall student experience, impressive record on outreach, its use of learning analytics to improve retention, innovative and impactful projects that give back to the community and its engagement with employers.

With notable rankings, attention-grabbing accomplishments and a reputation for first-class teaching and facilities, NTU is an attractive option for prospective students. It is in the top ten for the number of applications and first in the UK for accepted offers according to the 2019 UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) undergraduate acceptance data.

Not only is NTU drawing a large number of students, but it is also making the vast majority of them happy as well. According to a 2019 National Student Survey, 93 percent of NTU students would recommend studying at the university.

Graduates get employed

With 97 percent of graduates getting employed or transitioning into further study just six months after graduating, NTU is ranked inside the top ten in the UK for the number of students on work placements.

History of Nottingham Trent University

Nottingham Trent University’s history dates back to 1843 when it was founded as the Nottingham Government School of Design through the amalgamation of many different higher education institutions.

The Nottingham and District Technical College (started in 1945), Nottingham Regional College of Technology (started in 1958), the Nottingham College of Education began at Clifton (started in 1958), Nottingham Regional College (started in 1964), and the original Nottingham College of Design (linked with the Regional College in 1966), all merged to become 'Trent Polytechnic’ in 1970.

Five years later in 1975, it amalgamated with Nottingham College of Education before being granted university status in 1992 officially becoming 'Nottingham Trent University' (NTU).

The Entire Place will give a tenant a studio flat all to themselves. This gives you a private bedroom and bathroom and also includes a kitchenette where you can cook your own meals. No need to share, so this is a great option if you value your personal space.
