Who we are and why NTU is a great place to work
Find out what it means to work at NTU: a university for the future, today.
A University, reimagined
We are creating the university of the future. We do the right thing for our people, our communities and our environment, and that includes our colleagues. At NTU you’ll be part of a community that shapes futures, carries out ground-breaking research, helps students realise their potential and makes a real difference to people’s lives and society every day.

Recognised institutional impact
We are proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s truly outstanding universities. We've been named University of the Year three times, in 2019, 2018, and 2017 and recognised for our sustainability credentials, social impact and student support. Everything we do is carefully planned - from outreach to schools, through support to specific student groups, to employers, we know what works.
We take bold steps to change lives
While we have achieved so much there’s still lots to do to make the kind of impact we want in the world and for our people. Our colleagues take great pride in their positive contributions and how they shape NTU. They are committed to doing the right thing, not just for our community, but also for their personal development. We strive to work collaboratively with everyone, regardless of hierarchy, to achieve our collective goal of becoming an exceptional university.
Through diversity, we reward success and empower our people
Watch our Respect at NTU video to find out how we're empowering everyone who is part of NTU.
Principles of dignity and respect underpin all that we do, and the University has very clear expectations around how all members of its community treat – and are treated by – others.
We are a highly inclusive and collaborative organisation. We seek diversity of people and diversity in thinking. We want people to fully and actively contribute and collaborate across the whole organisation.
Our four colleague networks, Women’s Network, Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage (REACH) Network, LGBT+ Network and Disabled Employees Network (DEN) provide an empowered network of voices that make a significant contribution to our work and culture.
We’re proud to hold several quality charters and awards including:
- Athena SWAN Institutional Bronze Award
- Race Equality Charter
- Stonewall (LGBT+)
- Disability confident employer
