We’re the UK’s greenest university

We have been officially recognised as the most sustainable university in the UK after once again claiming top spot in the prestigious People and Planet University League 2016.

Alternatively, we offer a wide range of private accommodation, which is maintained and regulated through NTU's own lettings agency, Trent Lets. It's a safe, secure and convenient option, and one less thing for you to worry about.

Why choose Nottingham?

Nottingham’s got a life all of its own, and its reputation as a student city is legendary. Study here, and you’ll get the best of both worlds – it’s the perfect blend of big-city opportunities, and small-town friendliness. Here's just four reasons to love our city:

Why choose Nottingham?

1. We’re home to 60,000 students

Our city bustles with students – we're home to two major universities, attracting over 60,000 students to the city.

In fact, we have one of the youngest populations of any major UK city. Nottingham is currently the second youngest core city, with more under 30s than any other except Manchester (figures from Nottingham City Council, 2017).

2. We're right in the middle of the UK

Whether it’s London, Liverpool or Leeds, most of England’s major cities are less than a couple of hours away.

We’re right in the middle of the country, meaning you’re never too far from home. All roads and railways lead to Nottingham - we’ve even got a major international airport on our doorstep.

3. There's plenty going on, whatever you're into

Nottingham is recognised as one of Britain's youngest, safest, and most vibrant cities. In fact, students have voted Nottingham one of the top five student cities in the world.

There’s great shopping, a nationally-renowned arts scene, over 600 years of international sporting heritage, and hidden gems round every corner. So where better to start your new life?

4. Nottingham comes to life at night

Whatever you’ve heard, it’s true – Nottingham really is one of the UK’s best nights out, and with good reason. There’s something here for every taste, and every scene.

Our city has been awarded a Purple Flag Award for the seventh year in a row, recognising Nottingham as one of the best nights out in the UK.
