I would recommend NTU as a university. Most of my social interaction was done in the city rather on campus.

Studied ABHons and wish I had never gone to this university. Wasted 3 years of my life practically retaking my GCSE's. Much of the information was regurgitated simplistic information that is not worthy of university standards. Friends doing very similar courses at other universities were shocked at how poor the content was. Your entire module grade is based on ONE assessment that covers information from 1 or 2 lectures at best, the rest were garbage time wasting. Many lazy lecturers (not all, a few I will be staying in touch with due to industry connections, but by a few I mean 1). Shocking. If you want an easy degree then yes this is the university for you, but if you actually want to develop and progress in life, go to a different university. The prospectus is all lies. I can name multiple subjects that were promised that never got taught. Lab skills had absolutely nothing to do with any of the assignments, your just going to get experience but then have no way of applying the-skill

Brilliant University for your postgraduate course

I studied Decorative Arts at NTU and my 3 years was a complete s*** show. First year got cut short because of covid so all teaching went online for the second year. Communication and clarity was nonexistent and expectations to produce final pieces when we had no access to workshops was a joke. Come third year, it seemed lecturers had forgotten how to communicate and teach in person. People who ‘specialise’ in a particularly area seemed to be braindead and show no interest whatsoever about students’ work (well, only their favourites). If you have an opinion or speak your mind, express your feelings at a minimum, it’s likely you’ll be reported and subjected to misjudgements and unfairness. Your grades probably won’t reflect the hard work and determination you’ve put in, but I suppose it doesn’t matter for my course; considering it’s now discontinued. Only positive I have is the constant support from the ceramic technicians :)

My first year at NTU has been fab. So many places to explore both in the city and on campus, however I do wish I did more of this, and intend to do in 2nd year. The facilities are incredible for all courses, both online and in person, there's always something or someone that can help support you.

Good uni, especially for law. Staff not always that helpful and you struggle to get an answer from them if you have queries. Saw my personal tutor once and then she didn’t bother in second or third year to contact me. Nice campus and Close to the city

If this is a university you want to go to. I urge you to strongly reconsider. I didn’t come to university for the social aspect I came for the course & teaching. I was completely let down. The student support is terrible. Tutors give such a lack of support if you need to turn to someone to help you, you don’t have anyone (as my tutor took a month to reply to my emails on 2 occasions). When submitting your assignments you have to put your name on the document. I know that many other universities don’t do this to stop bias & discrimination. This Univeristy doesn’t have this so whoever is marking your work can actively discriminate against you/ mark you down/ give you ineffective feedback etc. if they don’t like you or if they have prejudices. Course structure is terrible. I’m very confused at how this university had received an award for ‘gold rated teaching’ when many students I have spoken to on my course want to drop out and feel unsupported, unsuccessful and unhappy in their course.

Thrilled with my choice of university. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I’ve been here for 2 year and I love how the uni has a lot of students and the societies really encourage you to socialise, if you can’t find a society there is always something happening at the uni which can help you.

Nottingham Trent is great university as you able to have a balance between your studies and clubs, as there is a wide range of societies and clubs for varied ability and commitment levels e.g. Intermural Sports clubs and Beginners Teams so you can suit the societies to your studies
