University information

Woodlands, wildflower meadows, a boating lake – no wonder our UK campuses are multiple Green Flag award winners. They’ve certainly got the seal of approval from the geese, rabbits and other wildlife that call our campuses home. 
With both natural beauty and practical spaces and facilities for your studies, we offer the best of both worlds. University Park is spread across 300 acres. It has 12 halls of residence, 3 libraries, the £40 million David Ross Sports Village, Lakeside Arts Centre and is home to the Students’ Union.  Nearby Jubilee Campus boasts futuristic, eco-friendly buildings and a library on a lake, while beautiful Sutton Bonington offers a dairy farm, stables, animal smallholdings and our popular farmers’ market.  
Globally, our Malaysia campus is based in Semenyih, Selangor – an hour from Kuala Lumpur. Our China campus is in Ningbo, a historic city on China’s eastern coast close to Shanghai. The 140-acre campus includes a lake and its own version of Nottingham’s famous Trent Building. 
“My favourite places to study are probably the Djanogly Library on Jubilee Campus, because I love the architecture of the building and that it is set within the lake, and the Monica Partridge Building because it is modern, full of light, and the study spaces are really comfortable.”  - Laetitia, Life Sciences student

Student life

Our Students’ Union is the hub of student life on campus, with plenty of social spaces and regular events to enjoy. But your options don’t end there.
Relax with friends in halls, check out an exhibition or concert at the Lakeside Arts Centre, visit the Farmers’ Market, enjoy our gardens and woodlands, or take a boat out on the lake. You can also join one of our many societies, sports clubs and volunteering projects. 
And, of course, the city of Nottingham beckons with its legendary tales of Robin Hood and status as a UNESCO City of Literature. You’ll never be short of things to do here. Think museums, theatres, art galleries, music festivals, football and cricket stadiums, the National Ice Centre and even one of the oldest pubs in England, built into the caves of Nottingham castle.
When it comes to nightlife, Nottingham has something for everyone – from unique games bars, beer gardens and cocktail bars to buzzing live music venues and nightclubs.  For foodies, there’s a mix of independent and chain cafes, restaurants, delis and outdoor markets. If shopping is your thing, small independents nestle alongside big high street names, while the trendy Hockley area is the perfect place to grab a vintage bargain. 
“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.”  - Fran, English and Creative Writing student
