Life at NTU

Life outside lectures

To get the most out of your NTU experience, we want you to find something beyond the classroom — and we’ve got the facilities, experts and opportunities on hand to help you do it. Whether you’re interested in sport, volunteering, mastering a brand new musical instrument or a language, we push the experts and support the beginners.

With the help of our professional teams and societies, you could bring a whole new dimension to your uni life!

“My time at NTU has been enriched by opportunities that I will cherish forever. The things I’ve been involved have really helped me to build up my confidence and skills. I’ve joined the Drama Society, Platform (the University’s magazine), FLY FM (NTU’s own radio station), and my next goal is to join Trent TV. I’m grateful that the university is helping me to think about everything that’s possible — I appreciate their passion for helping me maximise my potential.”
