The City of Nottingham

Located in the heart of England, Nottingham is a vibrant city, rich in heritage and culture. You can visit the haunts of Robin Hood or venture into the city's caves and castle. Nottingham is officially rated as one of the best cities for shopping outside of London and has a wide range of sporting venues including the National Ice Centre and the National Water Sports Centre.

The city's nightlife is legendary with live music venues, clubs, theatres and bars. Nottingham was named one of the best and safest places for a night out in the UK in 2011 and is one of only 16 places in the UK to have a Purple Flag Award in recognition of its efforts to be a safe and pleasant place to be after dark. Nottingham is less than two hours travel from London, with excellent transport links to the capital and the rest of the UK.

Campuses

Nottingham is famous for its beautiful campuses. Having hosted guest lectures from great 21st century thinkers such as Albert Einstein and Mahatma Gandhi, our 330 acre University Park Campus is widely regarded as one of the most attractive campuses in the UK, with established woodland, landscaped gardens and period buildings set around a large boating lake. A mile from University Park, Jubilee Campus is an award-winning, forward-looking campus that combines striking architecture, innovative technology and green spaces. Our Sutton Bonington Campus is set in beautiful south Nottinghamshire countryside, and occupies a spacious 100-acre site with its own teaching and learning facilities, sports centre, student guild, social amenities and halls of residence.

We also have two ground-breaking overseas campuses in Ningbo, China and Semenyih, Malaysia. Students at our UK campuses may spend part of their course at one of these overseas campuses under our Inter-Campus Exchange program, or at one of our many partner universities under the Erasmus Program or the Universitas 21 network.
