The Nottingham Trent University
Nottingham Trent is one of the largest universities in the United Kingdom, with approximately 15,400 people studying on over 100 full-time and sandwich courses. The ratio of male and female students is 3:2
The University has 27 departments, grouped into 9 faculties: Art and Design; Business; Economics and Social Sciences; Education; Engineering and Computing; Environmental Studies; Humanities; Law; and Science and Mathematics.
Being large and diverse has many advantages. It attracts students with a wide variety of backgrounds, interests and age ranges, and from all types of educational institutions and employment.
Nottingham is right at the centre of the country. As a result it has students from all parts of the United Kingdom, as well as a growing number of overseas students. This mix is a major strength, because a student will learn from his friends and colleagues, as well as from his organized study.
Provision of high quality accommodation is top priority for Nottingham Trent. Since 1992 the University has committed some £30 million to new building and refurbishment, with the result that it can offer now some of the best student residences in the country. All University accommodation is fitted out to a high standard and most students are housed in single study bedrooms which are often en suite. First year students new to Nottingham have priority to all University managed accommodation. The staff of the Student Accommodation Service are on hand to offer advice and information if necessary.
The Faculty of Education comprises the Departments of Primary and Secondary and Tertiary Education. The Faculty enjoys a national reputation for the outstanding quality of its courses at undergraduate, postgraduate and advanced professional levels. These courses address the full range of National Curriculum subjects and deal with teaching and training of children through primary education to secondary and further education. The courses offer opportunities for placements in commercial and voluntary organizations in the UK and abroad. Students have successfully organized and run conferences on industry/education links, environmental and social issues, field weeks for local school children, and engaged in research into good classroom practice. Students also enjoy our excellent resources, information technology laboratories and comprehensive library facilities.
The Faculty of Humanities offers a wide variety of subjects, including English, History, Geography, French, German, Spanish Sociology, Psychology, Linguistics, Communication and Cultural Studies. Teaching has a great priority, and students have personal tutors, and are encouraged to interact with staff and with each other. Teaching is undertaken through lectures and visiting speakers, work with resident writers, small group discussions, tuition for individual projects and assignments and audio-visual workshops.
The Nottingham Trent University Union of Students is active in all areas of University life. The Union of Students is the centre of students and is fast emerging as one of the leading unions in the country. All students have the opportunity to become members of the Union of Students which allows them to use the very wide range of facilities operated by the Union and to join its many clubs and societies. It also entitles students to participate in all Union meetings and to stand inn any elections. A Students Union Card will give you discount in many shops, cinemas and clubs as well as making you part of a national and international scheme.
