Introduction to the Nottingham Trent University
Nottingham Trent University gained university status in 1992. Until then it had been Nottingham Polytechnic, and, before that, Trent Polytechnic. The building where its students' union is based, on Nottingham's Shakespeare Street, has a foundation stone laid by Gladstone for University College Nottingham.
One of the largest new universities, NTU's faculties feature a wide range of courses. Well known for its degrees in fashion, the university has a big creative arts department and one of the country's biggest law schools. Graduate employment from NTU is good, reflecting the university's investment in practical resources. For example, in the city centre campus library there is a managment centre to promote new management techniques and theories, and the centre for broadcasting and journalism has taken over the BBC's former studios in the city, which gives students unparalleled access to real broadcasting facilities.
The city itself, home to Raleigh bicycles, offers rich social possibilities: it is home to two universities and eight institutes of further education. Serious shoppers may be interested to hear that some call it the "Milan of the Midlands".
The students' union lays on a wide range of club nights, which include huge events at weekends, and various other entertainments. Some 2,400 places are reserved for first-year students in university accommodation.
