The University of Nottingham has long been home to the trailblazer and the pioneer, stepping up to the challenges of new frontiers. Providing exceptional education and an outstanding student experience for our 52,000 students, we’re bound by spirit, not borders, with campuses in Asia and the UK.  

Founded in 1948, with a history stretching back to 1881, we have 140 years of heritage and success to be proud of, and to build on. We are 108 in the world (1 in the UK) out of more than 1,000 universities in the QS World University Rankings 2025, our pioneering spirit has seen us lead the way in establishing campuses in Malaysia (2000) and China (2004), to form a globally connected network of education, research and industrial engagement.  

A member of the UK’s prestigious Russell Group of leading universities, we are ranked seventh in the UK for research power (according to analysis by Times Higher Education) with 100% of our research recognised internationally (REF 2021). A world-leading research portfolio, including research and research-related activity, worth £743 millions, brings together talented, passionate and dedicated people who strive to make discoveries that have a real impact on lives and societies across the world.  

Our campuses in the UK, China and Malaysia share a mission to deliver discoveries that transform lives. Our researchers are committed to making outstanding contributions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

The city of Nottingham is world-famous for the legends of Robin Hood and is a UNESCO City of Literature. There is plenty to explore including a castle, parks and gardens, major sports venues and exciting nightlife. Located in the heart of England, it is only two hours from London by train, with excellent transport links to other major cities and local attractions.
