A Place to Call Home

It’s more than just a city centre
Looking to stretch your legs and grab a breather from
city life? Jump on a bus (or pile into a car) and you’ve
got these gems right on your doorstep:
10 minutes — Wollaton Park. This sprawling, deer-filled
estate sits just to the west of the city centre. The perfect
place for a summer’s twilight picnic or some sledging in
the snow, it’s also where you’ll find Wollaton Hall (aka
Wayne Manor in Christopher Nolan’s Batman films).
20 minutes — East Midlands Airport. As if Nottingham’s
not enough, you’ve also got an international airport
nearby. From EMA, you can fly direct to Barcelona,
Berlin, Ibiza, Kos, Rhodes, Reykjavik, Prague or
New York City — plus over 70 other international
destinations!
30 minutes — Newstead Abbey. The jaw-dropping
ancestral home of Lord Byron, one of Britain’s most
celebrated Romantic-era writers. His estate includes
a man-made lake with cannon emplacements, where
Byron would stage his own naval battles and flex over
his poet pals.
40 minutes — Sherwood Pines. Nottinghamshire’s most
tranquil attraction, lose yourself amongst a vast forest
of soaring pine trees, dappled sunshine and constant,
ankle-high mist. It’s also a only a short jump from the
world-famous Sherwood Forest.
50 minutes — the Peak District. OK, so it’s technically
Derbyshire, but the Peaks are still within easy reach for
a weekend trip. Visit Bakewell and Buxton, or roam the
same bare and rolling hills that inspired Wordsworth,
Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte. A lovely day out.
                                                                 Nottingham Castle

                                                               from makers and thinkers to artists and athletes.

           making your time at NTU as comfortable,
           happy and productive as it can be.

           We want you to feel supported, we want you
           to feel empowered, and we want your journey
           to be about you — whatever that journey
           might look like, and wherever it may take you.

                                         The NTU way
                                         What makes a degree?
                                         To us, it’s about that perfect balance between theory
                                         and hands-on practice. It’s about our teachers having
                                         the knowledge and experience to support your vision
                                         and enthusiasm. It’s about encouragement, in and
                                         outside of the classroom; the freedom to decide your
                                         own journey; and the expertise to help you reach your
                                         destination.
                                         It’s about opportunities and connections — whether
                                         that’s a year-long placement with a major global
                                         brand, a collaborative project with our own award-

     There’s no denying it — uni life can take some adjusting
     to. It’s probably your first time living away from home,
     and while independence is just what you’ve been
     waiting for, it comes with its own challenges.
     Our job is simple: to make sure you can complete your NTU journey in comfort and with
     confidence. Sometimes, life gets in the way — so if you hit any bumps in the road, just know
     that we’ve got your back. From award-winning student support and easy-access wellbeing
     provisions to our intuitive student mentoring scheme, we’re here to make sure that every one
     of our students get the same crack at success.

Employability Matters

  Professional placements
  All our courses come with embedded work-like
  experience — things like live projects, briefs, and
  professional competitions. Whatever the subject,
  we work closely with industry leaders to ensure
  that what you’re learning is what employers
  expect to see.
  But some things can’t be taught — and the real
  world 9–5 experience of your dream job is one of
  them. That’s where a year-long placement can add
  so much value to your degree. If the course you’re     Discover
  interested in has a four-year ‘sandwich’ option,
  you’ll have the chance to work with real businesses
  on their own turf during your third year. And that
  can make a huge difference to your prospects.
                                                        Here’s just a few of our placement

”I can’t recommend NTU’s
 employability support highly enough.
 It’s just a very joined-up approach.
 My course was really hands-on, and
 I had lots of opportunities to get the
 kind of industry experience that’s
 so important. Working with the
 Employability team, I also got a great
 insight into how to prepare my CV
 and portfolio, and how to stand out in
 a competitive market. Alongside my
 lecturers, they got me thinking more
 widely about my career options. I’ve
 gone from quite a narrow idea of what
 I wanted do to, to things I’d never even                       Find out more at

 WRAP — Writing, Reading
 and Pleasure
 WRAP celebrates words and voices, with writing
 workshops and book groups, meet-ups, masterclasses,
 and talks from readers and authors. Co-produced with
 our students, WRAP is about loving words, listening
 to new voices, reading for pleasure, and having the
 freedom and confidence to speak out.

“I really enjoy being part of the
 NTU Drumline — it greatly
 improves my skills as a musician,
 and the group of people I’ve
 gotten to know have really made
 me feel part of a community.”
