With over 40,000 students and staff spanning five university sites, Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is one of the largest and most influential higher education institutions in the country and the 7th largest university in terms of enrolled students overall (HESA 2023-24).
We have the highest headcount of students with a declared disability in the UK (HESA 2023-24*) and in 2024-25, 37% of our students are from an ethnically diverse background.
We are committed to driving forward meaningful change and have received a wide range of prestigious awards for our research, dynamism, and innovation.
We are proud to be recognised as a university that opens its arms to all. We were among the first to sign up to the Government’s social mobility pledge, University Mental Health Charter and Disabled Student Commitment, demonstrating our focus on improving the prospects of young people.
We are also passionate about fostering local talent, with over a third of our students from the East Midlands.
