What we love about UoN

What makes us different

We may have been founded in 1881 but we’re constantly looking to the future.

A member of the prestigious Russell Group of universities, this is the birthplace of the MRI scanner and home of Nobel prize winners.

Here are just a few more of our achievements and the advantages we offer:

Careers and employability

  • 66th in the world and 10th in the UK for employability (QS Graduate Employability Rankings 2022)
  • Top 2 Russell Group universities for work experience (Rate my Placement Best Universities for Work Experience 2024)
  • Connections to hundreds of businesses worldwide including Deloitte, Jaguar Land Rover, PepsiCo, Siemens, Unilever and Walt Disney Company

Student life

  • Winner of 22 Green Flag Awards for our beautiful campuses
  • More than 70 sports clubs and 300 societies – from a cappella to yoga and everything in between
  • Located in one of the world’s best student cities (QS Best Student Cities 2025 – 51st in the world and 9th of the UK cities featured)

My favourite thing about Nottingham is having this large, beautiful campus where there’s so much nature, and a city centre which isn’t too overwhelming but there are always events on. The balance of the city and the campus just really appeals to me.
