Nottingham Trent University
Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is a university that puts employability first. In and outside of your studies, we’re here to nurture and encourage you — from what you’re learning on your course, to what you’re learning about yourself.
Recognised by students and awarding bodies, we push boundaries, change lives, and make a real difference to the world around us. That’s why we won five ‘University of the Year’ titles in only seven years.
You’ll learn from experienced, real-world practitioners. Our courses are built in collaboration with industry experts and accrediting bodies, and all include employer-facing work experience as standard.
We’re one of the UK’s largest and most applied-to universities. Enjoy Gold-rated teaching, long-lasting employability support, incredible extracurricular opportunities, and life in one of the country’s top 10 student cities.
