Amazing University

(5)·By Alexandra T·Wildlife conservation· Jun 2023
Being at University has changed my life for the better. My confidence has grown. Have become more independent by living in student accomadation. The lectures are amazing. Brackenhurst is amazing. If I was to do a postgraduate degree I would come back to Brackenhurst and do it.

Amazing university!

(5)·By Mia G·Politics· Jun 2023
Really great accommodation and it's reasonably priced compared to other universities. The facilities are perfect, the library is open 24/7 in term time and there are loads of other study spaces. All my lecturers were supportive too and the pastoral support from student support services was second to none. Overall, I would definitely recommend NTU as a great place to study

Brilliant. Great organisation and some really fun activities to do alongside the hard work which kicked in from the jump! As an undergrad when I lived in Byron, I couldn't have asked for a better place to live. It was purely brilliant. The area was safe and it was just so fun. The accommodation was perfect for freshers with the SU so close by, wish i could go back

Art & Design, Year 2

Incredible! Best week ever! So well organised and really made settling in to uni life fun. There were so many activities available for all interests. I loved it so much I became a fresher rep in 2nd year!

Really good, a wide range of facilities and prices to suit your needs. Private accommodation options are also available on campus. I felt really safe in my halls and there was a community feel within the blocks!

Library is my favourite place to study. The building is amazing and the support offered 24/7 has always helped me massively especially with my dissertation. The uni gym is really cheap and always updated in terms of equipment and classes. The SU is so fun, my friends from other unis will come for a social night in our SU because it is so good! Loads of events offered all year.

The course offers internal industry experience which can really boost our CV and portfolio. It has enabled me to gain experience in different sectors. The lectures are always interesting and relevant, guest lectures are very insightful and give us a chance to network with career advisors.

Nottingham city is really small and close together which I really like. Everything is so accessible and close by. Being on city campus means only a 5 minute walk to the city centre. The city is lively and creative, there are always events going on bringing everyone together!

You don’t have to be creative! You don’t need a creative background, first year focuses on skills so everyone starts from the beginning.

Couldn't reccomend more

(5)·By Molly S·Sports Science· Jun 2023
NTU has been the best experience of my life. I have felt supports from all my tutors and feel like they all know me as a person and not just a number. All modules are fun and consist of exams, course work, practicals and group work.
I have made life long friends through societies and sports clubs. I am now on placement and still feel so supported. I can't wait to get back to 3rd year.

Freshers week was a great laugh, was a great opportunity to get to know different people & make new friends in different courses. Starting a degree can be very daunting especially if you don't know anybody, freshers weeks open the window. There's a wide variety of Accomidation at Nottingham Trent to cater to everyone. Accomidation's are clean, spacious and modern. Most are close to the main city campuses which is great for those early morning starts. The library at Nottingham Trent is amazing - not one fault. The staff are incredibly helpful when it comes to pretty much any questions or queries. The library is open 24 hours, 7 days, which is brilliant. Classrooms are also spot on - tables offer enough space for group work activities as well as individual times. The course was incredibly effective and efficient. Topics were clear and understandable, everything was explained with great detail & the effort from the teachers themselves was brilliant. The course was very hands on, there was a lot of physical actives which prevented the course becoming tedious. Nottingham City life is great. Everything is pretty much right next to each other and easy to access. The tram system is one of the best in the UK in my personal opinion, due to how wide spread it runs, the time schedule and how easy it is to use.

Freshers week was really insightful. I had the opportunity to learn more about Nottinghamshire and familiarise myself with the uni I lived privately The facilities were definitely above gold standard. The campus has WiFi throughout as well as laptops available for students use The course provided really in depth knowledge about my study area. The city life was the best part of my experience. There was always something to do and it offered a diverse amount of opportunities for people of different backgrounds

It was great made lots of new friends and had lots of fun. It is nice first year I stayed at halls and was very nice and sociable. Second year I live in a house with some flatmates which is quieter and allows for easier work to do The facilities are great they are really modern and the sports facilities are new so allows for effective learning I like the layout of having lectures that followed up with seminars and labs to allow me to fully understand the work The city life was quiet due to me being used to living in a bigger city however the clubs and pubs are good

Marketing, Graduate

(5)·By steph s·Marketing· Jul 2021
it went well. the uni had many online tutorials and i was fully informed about everything going on through online mediums. The accommodation has varied options very nice expensive option or cheap basic options. the classrooms are very spacious and modern. they have allowed us to come in for 8 hours face to face teaching all socially distancing of course which is great to learn the course. now in tier 3 there isn't really a feel of the city as it is fairly quiet most of the week with not much to do.

Business Studies / Management, Year 3

It was good! I was in private accommodation so didn't have a freshers rep so we were all abut lost at the start but we still had a fab time I was in private accommodation which wasn't connected to NTU as it was cheaper! The library is so good and clean however can be hard to find a seat however since Covid this is easier now. The student union is also really good for nights out and food in the day time with reasonable prices The Nottingham Business School is amazing. Great lecturers and seminar tutors. The business building is big and new and very clean. Nottingham has an amazing city life. It has a number of night clubs that suit everyone and every night is lively. Always full of students and good prices
