Sort:Latest reviewsI think that the University of Nottingham has one of the most beautiful campuses in Britain, there is a wide range of Societies to join, lectures are interesting and future job prospects are very good.
I love my uni, the campus is beautiful and it's situated in a perfect position with regards to the city centre. Transport is great between each campus. Lecture halls are good. Lecturers are exceptional, all very experienced in their field and always willing to provide help where necessary. Employers view the university as a prestigious and high standing university and believe it's students to be well educated, whilst also being well-rounded individuals. There are lots of societies, offering a great variety of choices, everyone has a place to fit in and find people with similar interests. However, sports societies are good and talented yet they are quite competitive and are therefore not great for people who just want to join to have fun. Although, the university has two gyms, both of which are of a good standard, all modern machinery and equipment. Also the membership isn't too expensive. The students union is good at organizing events, however the union bars aren't as lively as at some other universities. This is not a problem though as Nottingham has plenty of bars and clubs with various themed nights and music selections. The on-campus accommodation is lovely, the buildings are beautiful (especially Florence boot - my old hall) and all the rooms are of good sizes. Great communal areas, the whole hall holds a wonderful sense of community. As I'm sure is the same for the others on campus. The food isn't too bad - but the meal card for lunch is great!! Overall I'd really recommend this uni and I wouldn't ever want to have gone anywhere else.
Not bad, lecturers should try to find innovative methods of teaching; current method is quite mundane. Facilities are great, and the student union will help with any problem you might have, big or small. Other than the student union I felt that the clubs and societies don't do much. City life is good but not incredible
A great university and I loved my experience here BUT in terms of library facilities, treatment of staff (partic. in the Languages department) and the structure of some of the modules, it was often a case of not a lot of joined-up thinking going on.
Used to be good now going down hill, they haven't seemed to grasp that with the fees students are now paying for a service. Undergraduates are not catered for properly more focus is on research especially the sciences. Pastoral care is not a strong point. Teaching and job wise I would say it's a good uni but there are definitely issues.
The university was very good, it had hundreds of well funded well run society's. The lecturers were great on my course and I got a lot of personal help from my tutor. The only problem i had was i didnt get my dissertation choice because they didnt make enough projects. so ended up making a rubbish special project for me and a couple other people. Turns out it wasnt the worst, but it wasnt fun or what i chose
i love it. i had so much fun here the past year. i am studying chemistry and the lectures are great, labs are fun the people are nice and friendly. the campus is beautiful.rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Really good overall, loved my time there. The University itself provided me with a really good course and support when needed. The city itself is brilliant, something for everyone.
Overall a fantastic experience. Having had an experience of another university before Nottingham I can very safely say that notts triumphs in every way. Very pleased I choose to come here. A lot of extra curricular activities on offer and staff were always encouraging for students to get involved in things.
Very good university. I am an international student and really enjoy studying here. This Uni has excellent teaching faculties, world-class facilities and very friendly environment. People here from difference background can get equal chances to develop various skills and abilities.
Great campus, facilities, nightlife and student city. Prestigious courses and sports clubs, many seeming better taught and bigger than other unis, respecively. Such a pretty and close knit place to be. Students all move from campus to lenton area so feels very studenty which is a great community. Nightlife for all types and transport to and from the city is relatively easy. Most of my friends elsewhere seem jealous.
Beautiful campus with a very international vibe. Great reputation throughout the country also. Well placed location and good student vibe with another uni in the city.
I'm very glad that I chose to come to Nottingham - it's a great place to live, and I love being on our campuses! However, I do think that the university could make itself a safer and more comfortable environment for trans and nonbinary students - for example, making it easier to change your name on university records, better education for staff, making it standard to ask for students' pronouns, making toilets gender neutral. It could also be a little more accessible for disabled students - it does have some great features (e.g. hopper buses and mini buses for accessible transport) but staff aren't always good at providing accessible lecture materials and it isn't standard practice to record lectures.
The uni is great but the SU needs a bit of tweaking. So many opportunities given that people don't know about. Love the campus grounds and spent most of my days wandering round the lake!
Nottingham is a great uni with a fantastic campus and facilities. The city has a great range of shopping and leisure opportunities as well. A huge range of sports clubs and societies means there's always something to do.
I have loved my time here, and have secured a job for when I graduate. The social life, sport and societies are fantastic, and I wouldn't change anything about my university career.
A really good place to study. Beautiful campus, great resources, loads of societies and good lecturers. Shame about the SU...not enough stuff to do and expensive shops!
Great lecturers, involved in leading research so knowledge shared is upto date, great support from the Careers team in job search and support, wide vareity of clubs and societies to cater to every interest and large number of cultural events organised to promote interaction and learning.
The best time of my life - I'm not even half way through my first year and I've met some amazing people, done the most incredible things and experienced life changing events that I will not soon forget.
4.3
Excellent range of courses, standard of teaching and course organisation. In addition, the campus is beautiful and just a stone's throw from the city centre, which offers a range of activities, including fantastic night life!
Excellent night life and wide range of things to do - shops, ice rink, music venues etc.
Wide variety of clubs that are easy to join, although some can be expensive.
Self-catered accommodation is in a prime location and is satisfactory, however there are not enough facilities and there is not enough storage space to account for all the students in one flat.
