University Life

We're lucky enough to be located in Nottingham, one of the UK’s most stylish and lively cities. A top five shopping destination, the city is big in terms of culture and atmosphere, but small enough to walk around in a day. Even when visiting for the first time, our students feel instinctively at home.

At NTU, life on campus and Nottingham city life go hand-in-hand.

City campus is located in the heart of Nottingham and can provide you with the perfect combination: all of the study facilities you could hope for complete with the pubs, clubs and restaurants necessary to let your hair down.
Clifton campus is a self-contained site that has recently benefited from significant investment, leading to a refurbished and extended library and a student centre for support and career services.
Brackenhurst is an idyllic 200-hectare estate in the heart of the countryside, complete with an animal farm and equestrian centre, ideally situated just 14 miles from the city centre.

Nottingham has more sports facilities per head than anywhere else in Europe. We're also blessed by beautiful countryside within easy reach of the city, such as the beautiful Derbyshire Dales and Peak District for rock climbers and walkers. There's also the National Water Sports centre at Holme Pierrepont.

Living Expenses

In addition to tuition fees, we estimate that you will need approximately £600-£680 per month for living expenses. Some students spend more than this, some less depending on lifestyle.
