Nottingham Trent University

Nottingham Trent University traces its origins to 1843, when the Nottingham Government School of Design was established, one of the earliest institutions of its kind in the United Kingdom. It became Trent Polytechnic in 1970, Nottingham Polytechnic in 1988, and in 1992 it gained university status as Nottingham Trent University. Today it is one of the UK’s largest universities, with over 40,000 students and staff across five sites in Nottingham, Mansfield and London. NTU is known for its teaching quality, its employability and its strong links with employers, and its Business School holds triple accreditation from EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA, a distinction held by less than one per cent of business schools worldwide. It offers more than 500 programmes across nine schools, covering business, law, computing, engineering, science, the arts, education and the social sciences. In the Teaching Excellence Framework 2023, NTU received a Gold rating, and it has been named UK University of the Year five times in six years. Its research has been recognised for its impact on society, particularly in health, sustainability, the creative industries and the built environment.
