University of Nottingham Facts
The University of Nottingham is a public research university in the UK city of Nottingham.
The city’s first civil college opened in 1881 and its foundation stone was laid by the then Prime Minister, WE Gladstone.
It wasn’t until 1948 that the college was awarded the Royal Charter, allowing it to officially become the University of Nottingham and award degrees in its own name.
In 2000 the university opened a campus in Malaysia. Five years later it opened another, a new purpose-built park campus near Kuala Lumpur. In 2006, Nottingham became the first foreign university to be invited to establish an independent campus in Ningbo, China, a historic city close to Shanghai.
Today, the university is home to five faculties: Arts, Medicine and Health Sciences, Science, Engineering, and Social Sciences based over 3 campuses!
