Nottingham Trent University

NTU is one of the largest and most popular universities in the UK, because we are committed to providing the best possible student experience. In fact, the National Student Survey 2015 revealed that 92% of our students would recommend studying at NTU. \\We've invested £350 million in our staff, facilities and buildings over the last 10 years. In 2014 we opened a new library at our Brackenhurst campus, representing a £2.75 million investment. Boots Library at the City site has recently had a £4.2 million refurbishment and the library at Clifton campus has undergone significant improvements. \\Our fantastic, modern Students'​ Union at the City site is 5,500 square metres of social, sports, leisure and well-being facilities. Plus the Nottingham Trent Students'​ Union was awarded Higher Education Students'​ Union of the Year 2015 by the National Union of Students.\\We are also known for the employability of our graduates. Our reputation is built on a strong track record of meeting the needs of employers. We're proud to say that 93% of our graduates are employed or engaged in further study six months after leaving (latest DLHE survey undergraduate results 2013/14). \\Our world-leading research has a direct impact on people's lives - like our research into new biomarkers for detecting cancer. It also informs our undergraduate, postgraduate and research courses. We are proud that our staff and courses inform and share the latest knowledge. In 2015 we received a Queen's Anniversary Prize for our research – the highest national honour for a UK university.\\The NTU strategic plan for 2015/2016 has organised the University's ambitions under five key themes: Creating Opportunity, Valuing Ideas, Enriching Society, Connecting Globally and Empowering People.
