The University of Nottingham is consistently placed in the top 10 of major UK University rankings for teaching quality and research excellence. Sixteen of the University's Schools, including 3 of the Engineering Schools, were awarded 5 or 5* in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise.

It is also very popular with students; it has more applicants per place than any other UK university. The environment is very cosmopolitan, of the 22 000 students more than 3000 are from overseas. In all, our student body represents over 110 countries. The popularity of the University is in part down to its location. The main campus is situated in its own beautiful landscaped grounds yet is only 5 km from the centre of the historic and prosperous city of Nottingham, a city that is a centre for culture, shopping and sport.
