The University of Nottingham has long been home to trailblazers and pioneers, continually stepping up to the challenges of new frontiers. Providing exceptional education and an outstanding student experience for our 52,000 students, we’re bound by spirit rather than borders, with campuses in Asia and the UK.

Founded in 1948, with a history stretching back to 1881, we have 140 years of heritage and success to be proud of, and to build on. We are ranked in the top 100 of more than 1,000 institutions in the QS World University Rankings 2026, while our pioneering spirit has seen us lead the way in establishing campuses in Malaysia (2000) and China (2004) to form a globally connected network of education, research and industrial engagement.

A member of the UK’s prestigious Russell Group of leading universities, we are ranked seventh in the UK for research power (according to analysis by Times Higher Education) with 100 per cent of our research recognised internationally (REF 2021). Our world-leading research portfolio, including research and research-related activity worth £743 million, brings together talented, passionate and dedicated people who strive to make discoveries that have a real impact on lives and societies around the world.

Across our campuses in the UK, China and Malaysia we share a mission to deliver research that transforms lives. Our researchers are committed to contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and driving positive global change.

The city of Nottingham is world-famous for the legends of Robin Hood and is recognised as a UNESCO City of Literature. There is plenty to explore including a castle, parks and gardens, major sports venues and vibrant nightlife.
