HistoryEdit

File:University College Nottingham.jpg
University College Nottingham in 1897; the building is now known as the Arkwright Building.

Nottingham Trent University was formed by the amalgamation of several institutions of higher education in Nottingham. It originated from the Nottingham Government School of Design founded in 1843.

In 1945, the Nottingham and District Technical College was established. In 1958, Nottingham Regional College of Technology opened and in 1959, the Nottingham College of Education began at Clifton. In 1964, Nottingham Regional College was opened and in 1966, the original Nottingham College of Design was linked with the Regional College. Together they merged and the institution was upgraded to Polytechnic status in 1970 to become 'Trent Polytechnic'. In 1975 it amalgamated with Nottingham College of Education, and in 1988 the official name changed to 'Nottingham Polytechnic'.

Under the Further and Higher Education Act 1992, all polytechnics and some higher education colleges became eligible for full university status; at this point, the institution officially became 'Nottingham Trent University'.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Ntu.ac.uk (16 April 2013). Retrieved on 17 July 2013.</ref> which is dedicated to conserving the biodiversity found on and around its grounds.

  • City Campus

Despite the intense density of buildings typical of any urban setting, the university has been making efforts to enhance biodiversity found within the site.<ref name="ReferenceA">City site – EcoWeb – Nottingham Trent University Template:Webarchive. Ntu.ac.uk (22 May 2013). Retrieved on 17 July 2013.</ref> Newton and Arkwright, the flagship buildings of NTU, house not only staff and students, but also two peregrine falcons, which are protected under Schedule One of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.

Retrieved on 17 July 2013.</ref> since 2002, the building has been regularly used by the peregrines, who nest on a specially arranged ledge near the top of the skyscraper. The nest site, which is being publicly broadcast on the Internet, has been successfully used to raise 16 chicks between 2008 and 2012.<ref name="ReferenceB"/>

Newton and Arkwright's common roof has varieties of sedum covering it. Bird species that can be found include blackbirds, song thrushes, wrens, robins and even rare black redstarts.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>Template:Dead link

  • Clifton Campus

Located Template:Convert south of Nottingham city centre, on the outskirts of Clifton Village, the area comprises 32 hectares of land in a relatively enclosed campus environment.

Biodiversity can be noticed around the campus, including a variety of species of birds, bats and insects. Habitats are also provided within areas such as The Grove, bounding the site to the north-east, comprising mature trees along the River Trent. The university's commitment to biodiversity across all of its estates includes constant investigating into exactly what creatures share the campus with humans and how the environment can be enhanced to encourage numbers to increase, and to entice new wildlife to the campus. Future plans to help enhance biodiversity and manage the landscape have been made publicly available by the university in 2012.<ref>Sustainability – Nottingham Trent University Template:Webarchive</ref>

  • Brackenhurst Campus

Brackenhurst Campus comprises a 200-hectare scenic estate situated on the outskirts of Southwell, and is set around a former country house built in 1828.<ref name="ReferenceC">Brackenhurst campus – EcoWeb – Nottingham Trent University Template:Webarchive. Ntu.ac.uk (16 April 2013). Retrieved on 17 July 2013.</ref>

Student lifeEdit

Students' UnionEdit

Nottingham Trent Students' Union (NTSU) provides student activities and events, a Student Advice Centre, leisure and retail services, democratic representation and night-time entertainment at all three NTU campuses.

RAG is NTSU's fundraising department, where volunteers plan events to raise funds for local, national and international charities, as chosen by the members.

A student magazine called Platform is published online every month during the academic year, and is also available on campus in print form. It covers education, local and on-campus news, as well as arts, culture, sports and lifestyle. The magazine recently played host to the Student Publication Association's annual conference.

Trent TV is the students' union television station broadcasts programmes online including coverage of Freshers Week and the annual NTSU Awards, student nights out in Nottingham and 'Trent TV News' – for which the station was awarded 'Best News Programme of 2011' by the National Student Television Association.

Fly Live is the students' union radio station which broadcasts daytime shows, specialist shows, entertainment, sport and news. Started by then SU president, Ben Morrison in 1996, it has since won multiple Student Radio Association awards .<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

UKIP ControversyEdit

In late 2014, some Nottingham Trent University UKIP students attempted to form an official society for their party. The Union's Societies Assembly voted to block the formation of this group in spite of similar Labour and Conservative societies already existing.

The situation rose to prominence in January 2015 when an article appeared on the website of Young Independence calling the ban "An affront to democracy"<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and this sentiment was echoed by UKIP's Margot Parker MEP in a statement a few days later.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Various news outlets became interested in the story, including Sky News.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

On 21 January 2015 the Union admitted that some members of the Societies Assembly made their decision based on personal political beliefs and therefore overturned the ban.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

SportEdit

NTU sports scholars have competed in the summer and winter Olympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and world championships. NTU alumni include England Rugby player Nick Easter and GB Hockey players Crista Cullen and Alastair Wilson.

The 2010 world number one golfer and honorary graduate Lee Westwood opened the new Lee Westwood Sports Centre on the university's Clifton campus. The centre has sport and athlete support facilities, including sports halls, studios and fitness suites, and a nutrition training centre.

NTU is consistently ranked in the top 20% of institutions in the British Universities & Colleges Sport (BUCS) championships, in the 2014/2015 season the university achieved 17th place.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The university competes in the Varsity Series against local rival, the University of Nottingham.
