Ratings and Reviews
Applying to Nottingham Trent was one of the best decisions of my life. The vibrant student life on and around campus, the working community within my course (big up architecture) as well as the unparalleled oppurtinites for students seeking success both during and after their studies makes NTU the one for me. Companies often visit our Student Union to host events with chances for networking opportunities - plus freebies! The lecturers here genuinely seem to care about their students. I love it here! There is truly something for everyone in NTU.

Love NTU and Nottingham, great place to come.
NTU is a great and conducive environment for someone like me as an international student to socialize and meet a melting pot of cultures while being open-minded. The faculty is knowledgeable and dedicated to helping students succeed. The campus is very modern and well-equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. The university offers a wide range of programs and the resources I use for my architecture course, supports my learning and development. Ive noticed that the student community is diverse and welcoming, making for a rich and engaging academic and social experience. Overall, NTU is a welcoming university that has so far provided me with an exceptional education and prepares me for success in my career choice of architecture.
Best university for student life. Study and enjoy.
I have been at NTU for 4 years now, did my bachelor's and currently doing my Masters. What I have to say is that the lecturers are incredibly passionate about their work and they are very approachable for advice on any questions or issues that you might have. The facilities are excellent and almost every year a new building is built or renovated.
Nottingham Trent is a great university. They offer a range of free opportunities to build your CV and there is a range of societies that allow you to have fun and feel welcomed.
I've loved going to university here. Its not perfect, no where is, but I've had supportive lecturers and a variety of opportunities while studying here. If you have a long term health condition (mental or physical) or get DSA you can get an access statement which is fantastic in giving accommodations such as extensions on assignments and longer library loans.
It’s great to hear your review of NTU. We are so glad to hear you have felt supported by your Lectures as well as our Student Support teams. Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Its a great place to study. The facilities are top notch. Lecturers were great, supportive and motivating.
A great university with a great campus!
Nottingham Trent University is an excellent institution for higher education. With a commitment to student satisfaction, innovative and industry-focused courses, and state-of-the-art facilities, NTU is a great choice for any student looking for a high-quality and supportive learning environment.
Thank you for sharing your brilliant review with us! It is great to hear you are enjoying your time with us at NTU our courses are industry focussed. We are also so glad to hear that you are feeling supported. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback about Nottingham Trent University!
I could not flaw NTU. The whole university is so clean, modern and buzzy. It's made impossible to have a bad experience. The staff are so friendly and supportive and readily free to help you with any classwrok or career advice.
I love that NTU give us regular updates on career opportunities, especially the Art and Design area. We get regular Lectures on the best places to research for jobs and paid placements and in these lectures they also give advice on how to stay connected with companies, brands how to put yourself out there and create a good profile. A Positive on the facilities would be that there is a lot of space for quiet study time aswell as group projects. And one thing I really appreciate is that on my campus (City Campus), many of the buildings allow free laptop and MacBook rentals and for a courses like Design, this is so necessary if you don't have a laptop like me. Lastly, It is a very accommodating University even with safety of students.
Thank you for sharing your review with us! It is great to hear we have been providing you with opportunities on your course to start preparing you to be industry ready. It is so brilliant to hear our laptop loans have been of help to you!
Best student service. Various career opportunities. The campus is very spacious. And the library is very big and quiet. Lots of societies and sports society. Every week there are events at ntu bar.
Nottingham is a fun and vibrant university with so much to offer. The facilities are modern and open to all students. The social events and societies make it inclusive and engaging for all.
Incredibly friendly environment and staff, the nature walk around Clifton Campus is brilliant, especially if you get stressed out by lectures or anything.
Excellent and supportive tutors on the Interior Architecture and Design course. Software / IT issues can be frustrating at times but overall very happy with my experience at NTU
I have really enjoyed my experience here at Nottingham Trent university and I have made friends for life.
Nottingham Trent provides me with everything I need and more. Not just with university and my course but also with helping with my social life and living in another city.
Great uni, a great city I love it. Better than mates ones I have been to. all really close in the city and accommodation is really close too. Love the trams makes it so easy to pop anywhere.
NTU is well-known for its student's union and I think they offer a lot of support for their students but from my personal experience, I find that the events held by NTSU are not inclusive and mostly involve drinking.
Thank you for leaving your review. I am sorry to hear you feel this way about our NTSU, we are continually trying to find aspects to improve what we offer to our NTU students; therefore, if you do have any suggestions please do not hesitate to fill in our NTSU feedback form here.

Nottingham Trent has been a great University for me. Very sociable and easy to make friends and great facilities
Overall a good experience. Really enjoyed my time at Nottingham Trent
Nottingham Trent is very welcoming and does everything it can to make their students feel comfortable and supported.
Nottingham Trent University has provided me with so many opportunities both social and academic. The lecturers are really understanding and all do their best to help you succeed. Nottingham is such a great student city too, very creative and diverse.
So much to do, makes the university experience fun and helps you to meet new people :)
When writing my LPC application, I had to write a long personal statement. Upon completion of this, I was able to walk straight into the careers and advice centre where there was no wait and a kind woman read over my personal statement with me without hesitation and gave me advice on it. I feel so lucky to have such support readily available and kind people to help.
It’s great to hear your review of NTU. We are so glad to hear you love our Brackenhurst campus as much as we do and that you have found transport to Nottingham city centre readily available! If you would like to share any further feedback regarding the shop on campus please do not hesitate to contact us via our Ask NTU Form as we are always looking to improve our student experience at NTU. Thank you for your feedback!
I am final year Ecology and Conservation student at the Brackenhurst campus, where I have lived in halls for my first and now final year. Living on campus is a lovely green space, with great access to the city with the bus stop to Nottingham city center a 5 minute walk from my door. The library, cafe, bar and new Lyth building cafeteria are great facilities. There is a small shop on site, with limited options and times I have found. The only other shop for food in walking distance is a co-op in Southwell, however if you have access to a vehical a big food shop at more student friendly supermarkets is only 20 minutes away.

Trent has an ideal city campus that it right in the city centre and makes all resources accessible. The members of staff are friendly and the majority of lectures are very engaging. Trent offers a wide range of activities that celebrate diversity and culture and across the 3 campuses there is a huge range of societies to join. Having an enjoyable experience is important to the university which has made my 3 years there so much fun.
Thank you for sharing your kind words about our City campus and the resources available. It is so great to hear our staff members have made you feel welcome, and you have enjoyed your course with us! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us at NTU, you will always be a part of our NTU Alumni community. I wish you all the best in the future!
amazing university love it a lot
Tutors are always helpful and accessible and campus staff are also lovely! I would recommend students to choose Nottingham Trent to get a great university experience alongside social networking.
Despite covid years, I generally enjoyed my studies at Nottingham Trent University. There is plenty of opportunities, events and resources available.
Amazing University with excellent staff and resources. The social aspect is great and opportunities for everyone. Everyone is so supportive and helpful.
Overall it is a pretty good university, Clifton campus is beautiful if you ever get the chance to visit, the food is cheap and freshly made, and the courses are decent just a lot of stress which can be manageable.
Good everywhere no strikes :) Campuses for everyone, and the nightlife is so good (probably the best in the UK)
As an International student attending NTU, I’ve had incredible access to support from accommodation to mental health support. It’s been an incredible experience so far, and I’m so glad I applied. The psychology course team is also phenomenal, especially with any help I need in getting used to the UK system.
The career support is appreciated
I have had an amazing experience at NTU so far. Nottingham as a city is very affordable from accommodation to social life and everyday cost of living for students. NTU specifically is outstanding when it comes to all sorts of support for students and carers alike. As an international student the student services has never let me down, nor has the employability team, in terms of finding part time jobs, that I can work flexibly around my timetable. The facilities are spot on with gym memberships, labs, state of the art technology, and court rooms as well. All our campuses are well equipped and well facilitated.
It is great to hear you love Nottingham as much as we do! Thank you so much for sharing your kind words about our facilities and in particular our Employability team; we are so glad to hear you have found part-time work that works around your studies. Thank you for your feedback!
Haven’t been too involved with all the extra curricular things the university has to offer, however I’ve had no problems with most of everything available, and I’m happy with staff and the support available
Good experience overall for my postgraduate studies. Would recommend to other thinking of applying.
Having previously been to the University of Portsmouth I was excited as to what NTU could offer. All in all the experience has been amazing, I wouldnt change any of it. In comparison to Portsmouth it is far far better.
Very good facilities and tutors are very supportive
My experience as an international student at NTU has been incredibly positive, and I feel that it has prepared me well for a globalized world. I am grateful for the opportunities and experiences that I have had here, and I would highly recommend NTU to other international students looking for a welcoming and supportive academic community.
It’s great to hear your review of NTU, thank you so much for spending the time to write us one. We are so glad to hear of your positive experience as an international student studying with us! It is brilliant to hear you feel prepared for the world as well as having taken part in many opportunities offered to you whilst at NTU! Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I haven’t been overly involved in the students Union or societies but there’s always been emails and invitations to get involved with various aspects that interest you personally. The help with careers is definitely there if you are seeking it also but it doesn’t fall into your lap you have to actively be interested in seeking the help!
NTU are very informative about activities and events happening throughout the week. The campus is nice with good WIFI, everything is clean and Newton Building is amazing
My first year at NTU has been a great experience. It has been filled with fun, support and great advice from tutors as well as other students. I have also been introduced to so many opportunities and I can’t wait for what else is to come over the next 3 years.
Great international student experience
Always so much going on at NTU. Very supportive staff who go above and beyond to help.
Hard to find space in the library. SU could have more to offer.
Clifton Campus is really nice, good facilities and food option, student union space is great, easy bus access
Great uni with amazing students union. The societies and nightlife is defiantly a highlight of it.
This University sets a perfect example for student life. It has an amazing, good qualified teaching staff, a pleasant ambience around the campuses and incredible support for every kind of student.
I am a second year student and my support from NTU has been overwhelming in the best way possible. When I’ve needed support I always get an answer or guide in the right direction. My course is fun and engaging.
Very helpful and attentive to students needs. With extra study spaces and extra study, help students who are struggling on Need more direction.
A prestigious university where students can take strong degrees that would build a strong work career
A very nice campus, easy to find your way around and has many facilities available
First 2 years were horrid. We came through 3rd year last term tho so go is
Being an international student, Nottingham Trent University has been the best choice I have made to progress in my career direction. The university offers countless resources to help you navigate your goals, hobbies, interests and life itself. The technology and facilities offered in the campus are world-class and there's always something for everyone in here.
It’s great to hear your review of NTU, thank you so much for spending the time to write us one. It is brilliant to hear you feel NTU is the best choice to help you progress in your career! We are so glad to hear you have made the most of our resources whilst with us and it is great to hear you believe there is something here for everyone!
Friendly staff we have free laptop loans Xerox more number of PC for study purpose
I have a bad experience with the communication from NTU regarding the visa process.
Nottingham Trent is a great university. One of the thing that attracted me to this university was the wide range of active societies. I currently partake in several societies and have enjoyed them all. I am also part of the committee for the one of the societies I am involved in, which often involves communicating with the SU. They are often reliable and help solve any problems quickly and listen to our ideas.
Thank you for posting your brilliant review about Nottingham Trent University! It is amazing to hear what drew you to NTU in the first place has now become an integral part of your time here. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Varying level of teaching quality dependent on the module you are doing. The buildings are well equipped for whatever you need.
Staff have been extremely helpful and supportive through any struggles I’ve had. Information in always delivered clearly. Module selection on my course is limited and there were not that many events for my course.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We are so glad to hear our staff members have been helpful whilst you have been studying with us! I would encourage speaking with your course team to see if there is any room to tailor your modules to your specific area of interest however this will vary course by course. If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us via our Ask NTU Form as we are always looking to improve our student experience at NTU.
It helps students explore many independent skills as well as group projects to help students also rely on others as well as help with time management. It gives all students equal opportunities.
As a Fine Art student, I have found my experience at my university to be very positive. The city campus is very convenient for me as I have all of my classes there. I find that the Fine Art School is very well equipped with all the materials and resources that I need to pursue my studies. However, as I started my school year late, I have not had the opportunity to learn much about the different societies and extracurricular activities that are available at the university. Overall, I have found my university to be a great place to study and develop my artistic skills, and I look forward to exploring more of what it has to offer in the future.
Thank you for your review, it is great to hear you are enjoying your time with us at Nottingham Trent University! It is great to hear our Art and Design School is well-equipped to help you complete your studies. If you would like to have a look at the societies we have to offer at NTU please take a look at NTU Societies page here. I wish you all the best for your future studies with us!
Good University city campus in Nottingham
good module, study-life balance and employability team
I think overall NTU is a very good University. The campuses are pleasant and the staff is always helpful. In the careers service, for example, they are very good with checking up on you and making sure you are aware of all the good resources that we have available. I think that the University offers everything that you could want in terms of societies. I have enjoyed my time here very much.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. It is great to hear your kind words about our staff and it is great to hear our Employability team have reached out to you to let you know what is available. It is also great to hear you have enjoyed the social side NTU has to offer!
Big campus , lots of different facilities located on campus and easy to get to know after a few days there.
Really supportive environment with lots of facilities and staff always helpful, whether academic or support services.
Brilliant uni overall. Campus events are very frequent and varied and facilities are so nice.
Overall it is a good experience in Nottingham. But some problems related to international scholarship and students support badly hits me
Nottingham Trent University has a world class academic practice with epic curriculums and facilities that foster academic excellence and contributes immensely to the sustainable growth of the environment.
Nottingham Trent University has a range of services in place in order to help you academically. The use of student mentors are really helpful and can provide 1 to 1 support if you're unsure on anything. Also, personal tutors can help you with any concerns you may have.
Thank you for posting your brilliant review about Nottingham Trent University! It is great to hear you have found our student mentor’s support and personal tutors helpful. We really appreciate your feedback!
excellent University to study at
I really enjoyed my studies, modules taught and lecturers. The lecturers are passionate about their work which make the subject more interesting and understandable!
More than a uni ntu feels like a home with all the provided facilities.
Have loved studying at Trent facilities are perfect for studying and the social life is really good
It’s a good university that supports their students.
Great university, very supportive and a great social experience. Definitely recommend Nottingham Trent.
NTU is an amazing uni, I always feel included and help is always there when I need it. It’s facilities are great, the lecture halls, library, Student Union are all places that I can sit and complete uni work. The clubs and societies are also so diverse and is so easy to make friends.

It is also great to hear you are making use of our study facilities, thank you for sharing this feedback with us!
I would describe one of the best experiences I've had in my life as my time at NTU. I enjoy every minute I spend here, thanks to the quality of education, knowledge of academic stuff and great communication, the ongoing understanding that supports the student not only for academic success or career but also for mental health. The University has an equal and understanding ethic towards all religions, language, orientation and appearance. In addition, it is prepared for all situations that may be experienced due to disability and have opportunities to facilitate the student's NTU experience. Nottingham Trent University is also equipped with the equipment that constantly renews itself in terms of technology and can offer students every content that can be missed in the physical environment on its online platform. As an international student, I can say that the online platform played a big role in my adaptation process. Overall I feel very happy and proud to be a Nottingham Trent Student.
It’s great to hear your review of NTU, thank you so much for spending the time to write us one. It is brilliant to hear about your positive experience with us we are so glad to hear you are proud to be a student with us at Nottingham Trent University!
Clifton Campus is great, very enjoyable place to study! Only complaint is that the campus has a lot less going on compared to City Campus. In my 3 years of studying I have never had an issue with Wifi connection which has been excellent. So far I have not had much experience with the careers service but they are usually helpful. There is always lots going on at the SU and the committee really make an effort to make changes.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. Thank you for raising this point regarding our Clifton campus, I will ensure to pass this feedback on to the relevant team and thank you for making us aware. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve, please do not hesitate to contact us via our Ask NTU Form. When the time comes please take a look at our careers and employability page here for further information on how we can help make you stand out to future employers or universities!
The university is great but the career service in helping you find a job is not great as I am struggling to Gina and apply for one.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. I would encourage contacting our Employability team directly as they can help you with several activities to try and help you secure a job role. To find out more please visit our careers and employability page here for further information.
Nottingham Trent university is great- you make friends quickly, try new things from joining the various clubs or just a night on the town, and the student union is built up of sweet supportive people that work hard to make your time at uni comfortable
It’s great to hear your review of NTU and that you have enjoyed taking on new experiences as well as finding our Student Union members to be supportive. Thank you for sharing this feedback.
I am finishing my second year studying law at NTU and it has honestly been the best experience of my life. Not only is there support for academics and mental health there are so many chances to do new things that i hadn't tried before such as through societies and their 'give it a go week'. In first year i had to commute but there were so many different areas i could wait and relax in between my classes.
Thank you for your feedback, it is great to hear about your positive experience with us. We are so glad to hear you have felt supported and have tried out activities you may not have done before! We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your time with us as much as you have done already.
I found it very easy to settle in and make friends. the course is also exactly what it is advertised as which i really enjoy. It is also in a good location. the staff are friendly and really helpful
The university is central and it's easy to get to the buildings. Most of the them are modern and have everything needed. There could be more done for the art and design crowd as the building right now (April 2023) isn't the best, but they are building a new one. Currently all the equipment is spread everywhere and in different buildings which isn't ideal and makes it confusing. The student body is overall good, fun and sociable, the city is really nice and the night life is really good. It's quite an accessible university from my perspective as a recently moved here European citizen. In terms of help at the university they have most things you could ever think of and there is always someone who can help. There isn't much help they can provide for people that are undiagnosed, if you by chance are struggling with mental health or an unknown disability. The teaching is good. I wish there were more practical classes instead of just lectures and independent work as we are paying a lot.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. Hopefully, the completion of our new Design and Digital Arts building which is set to be completed in 2024 will resolve many of the issues you are referring to. To find out more about our state-of-the-art building in which the School of Art and Design will be based in please visit our article here. Our Student Support team are here to support our student no matter if they have had a diagnostic or not, we always strive to support all our students that need support. However, thank you for bringing this to our attention we will ensure it is fed back to the appropriate team. If you wish to contact our Student Support team, please visit the webpage here.
Nottingham Trent has been very accommodating to any problems I have and has always made it very easy to access support
NTU is very good university with perfect student life.
It has a wide range of facilities and services for students however they may not be advertised directly to students so it is recommended to do your own research into what ntu offers to make the most of your experience.
A wholesome student experience that I would recommend to everyone!
A very good university, with great social events and possibilites, great facilities and helpful lecturers and members of staff
NTU IS FANTASTIC. THEY MANAGEMENT MAKES IT EASY FOR US.
The university offers a great range of facilities which students can access almost all day, everyday. In addition to academic opportunities, such as work experience and regular talks, extracurricular activities are offered too (including societies, sports etc). Through the NTU job shop, I have been able to quickly find a huge number of experience and voluntary opportunities which I plan to do over the summer.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us your fantastic review of NTU. It is great to hear you are using our facilities and you are making the most of the opportunities offered to you whilst with us! It is great to hear you are planning experience and voluntary opportunities to take part in over the summer. We really appreciate your feedback!
Great accommodation, spacious, modern! Not many clubs/societies on Brackenhurst campus. Haven’t used careers service so opinion is neutral. Wifi in room is slow and sometimes doesn’t work. Don’t go to SU often but see a lot of events on social media.
Thank you for your review, it is great to hear you are enjoying living in our Brackenhurst accommodation! We will certainly pass your feedback regarding the Wi-Fi, clubs and societies to the relevant departments.
My course is on a campus outside of Nottingham and while it is a way away from Nottingham the connections into the city allow for easy access but also there is evidence that the university is continuing to invest a lot of money into this small campus
It’s great to hear your review, thank you so much for spending the time to write us one. It is great to hear although you are not based at our City campus you have found easy connections into the city.
Great facilities, good vibes and good support from lectures.
societies are very clicky but pretty sure it’s like this everywhere. The uni is good and the employability team is amazing - definitely one of the best things about the uni
I have really enjoyed my time at NTU so far, I can’t say I have much to complain about. The campus (clifton) is amazing and has such great facilities, plus it’s only a short bus ride from the city.
It’s great to hear your review of NTU, thank you so much for spending the time to write us one. It is fantastic to hear your kind words about the University and our facilities. It is brilliant to hear you have found the transport from our Clifton campus to our City campus readily available.
With great facilities on two different campuses, a great transport link between them aswell
Brilliant uni. Started here in January for postgrad and with direct comparison to another midlands uni, NTU has been great at making me feel very welcome and part of uni life. It is so close to the centre of town in great location, teaching has been very good with varied methods and assessment has been fair too. Would recommend!
