The self-contained Clifton campus is just four miles from the city, connected by a good bus route. In addition to modern teaching facilities, student accommodation, and on-site shops and eateries, it boasts a new multimillion pound sports hall, a brand new gym, and an all-weather floodlit sports pitch. 

The Brackenhurst campus, approximately 14 miles from the city, is a 200-hectare estate consisting of a commercial farm, equestrian centre, specialist teaching units, landscaped gardens and a lake.  University residences are available on site, and students have their own facilities such as a library, dining room, café and bar, gym and multi-purpose sports surface.

Out and about
Nottingham is a lively city with many theatres, museums, cinemas, clubs, cafés and bars.  It also hosts some of the top sporting venues in the UK, such as Trent Bridge cricket ground, the National Watersports Centre at Holme Pierrepont, and the National Ice Centre. 

Within the university, there are more than 60 clubs and societies run by the Students’ Union, covering sport, religion, politics, the arts and more.  On-campus facilities include gyms run by qualified instructors, Students’ Union bars and extensive sporting facilities.  The Bonington Gallery, located in the School of Art and Design, is one of the premier contemporary art spaces in the Midlands.
