Nottingham Trent University

Location and Campus

Forming an ever-expanding University Quarter, the City Campus is almost a microcosm of the City of Nottingham itself. For most people visiting the university it is the sheer size and scope of the City Campus that leaves the most lasting impression. Buzzing with life and constantly full of students, it’s easy to see why Nottingham Trent is regarded as one of the most exciting universities in the UK.

Literally within the city centre, the university’s wide range of buildings blend seamlessly with their surroundings to form a campus that is big, architecturally diverse and visually exciting. There are many buildings within the City Campus, all with unique features of their own. The impressive white tower of the Newton Building, which is the administrative centre of the university, as well as containing Engineering and Computing facilities, is one of the tallest structures in Nottingham. The Arkwright Building (where DH Lawrence studied to become a teacher) is also well-known throughout the city and is much appreciated for its attractive, and vast, Gothic splendour, both inside and out. The historic Waverley Building, first opened in 1865, has recently been restored to its former glory as a centre for art and design excellence. This £2.2 million renovation scheme has provided an ultra-modern environment for study, creativity and exhibition, with a central atrium, a sculpture court and repairs to the imposing Waverley clock tower. And The Nottingham Trent University Boots Library (built in 1998 at a cost of £13 million) now forms a distinctive corner landmark at the heart of the campus, containing over 1,300 study spaces.

In addition to the regular academic facilities, you will also find within the City Campus a general student shop (which is everything from a supermarket to a bakery to a newsagent), a specialist art shop, refectory, bar, bank, a major university bookseller, insurance agent and travel agent. University residences are within a few minutes walk, as is a much of the private sector accommodation within the city.

Clifton campus is about four miles from the city centre and houses the Faculties of Humanities, Education, & Science and Mathematics. Just four miles from Nottingham city centre lies the attractive landscaped grounds of the Clifton Campus which, like the City Campus, is a self-contained area that provides you with everything you need. As well as a supermarket, bar, refectory and bookseller, there are 700-plus study bedrooms (all with en-suite

facilities) which enable students to live and work on-site.The Clifton Campus is set in its own landscaped grounds with university residences on site and the River Trent running at the back. A major financial investment in the campus over recent years has produced a newly extended and refurbished library and a Student Village complete with Student Union facilities, The Point bar and diner, supermarket, refectory and major university bookseller. There is also a new sports hall with an all-weather floodlit sports pitch for football, hockey and tennis. The brand new Faculty of Education building (opened in 2000) is a high quality, state-of-the-art teaching block that supports 500 students and 55 staff. There is also a purpose-built science block called the Erasmus Darwin Building, and a designated buildings for Humanities.

Brackenhurst campus is about 14 miles from the city centre. School of Land-based Studies, Brackenhurst, consists of a 200-hectare estate, commercial farm, equestrian centre, animal studies, horticulture and food science and technology units. These tranquil surroundings are situated about 12 miles from Nottingham, close to the market town of Southwell.

Brackenhurst has its own university residences, a library and computing facilities, a dining room and bar. The site also offers sports pitches, a multi-purpose sports surface, a gym and extensive equestrian facilities. A purpose-built state-of-the-art teaching block was opened in 2002.
