There are branch libraries on the Clifton and Brackenhurst campuses serving the schools located there, and include additional Animal Planet digital facilities.

[16] It hosts an Anthony Nolan Trust Cord Blood Bank, and the John van Geest Cancer Research Centre.

Situated about 15 mi (24 km) from the city centre in the rural Southwell area, Brackenhurst campus is sited at the historic Brackenhurst Hall, a Grade II listed countryside estate containing woodland, farmland, lake, wetlands, and gardens (including a listed Heritage Site and Wetland Conservation Area).

The £6.5 million University Centre was opened in 2016 to provide a range of programmes including full and foundation degrees and continue professional education.

[48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] Nottingham Trent University achieved an Athena SWAN Bronze Award for good practices towards the advancement of gender equality in 2019.

[62] In November 2015, Nottingham Trent received the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in the Science and Mathematics category,[63] repeated in 2021 for projects involving digital imaging of architecture and heritage sites.

[69] The university maintains close ties to over 6,000 businesses and 94% of students progress to full-time employment or further education within six months of graduating.

[71][81][82] Between 2009 and 2012, NTU received four First Class Awards from Green League,[83] reflecting its commitment to carbon reduction and its efforts to become an environmentally aware higher education institution.

Aside from organising various 'green' activity clusters (e.g., The Carbon Elephant, The Wind Turbines Project, The UCycle Scheme[84]), the university has also been formally awarded Fairtrade status.

Also, Nottingham Trent University branded T-shirts and hoodies sold in the Student Union shops are made from Fairtrade cotton.

These different land types, ranging from urban centres to farmland, are considered valuable ecological assets by the university,[89] which is dedicated to conserving the biodiversity found on and around its grounds.

Despite the intense density of buildings typical of any urban setting, the university has been making efforts to enhance biodiversity found within the site.

[90] 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.

In this sense, the university runs a collaborative project with the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust;[91] since 2002, the building has been regularly used by the peregrines, who nest on a specially arranged ledge near the top of the skyscraper.

Bird species that can be found include blackbirds, song thrushes, wrens, robins and even rare black redstarts.

[90][dead link‍] Located 3 mi (5 km) south of Nottingham city centre, on the outskirts of Clifton Village, the area comprises 32 hectares of land in a relatively enclosed campus environment.

Habitats are also provided within areas such as The Grove, bounding the site to the north-east, comprising mature trees along the River Trent.

[93] Given its rural setting,[93] a vast array of wildlife co-exists with staff and students; present are species and habitats such as the great crested newt, badger, European hare, ancient hedgerows, the Victorian Walled Garden (a listed Heritage site), and Sheepwalk's pond and Wildlife Hide (Wetland Conservation Area).

Upcoming Executive Team for 2024/25 Part Time Officers 24/25 In late 2014, some Nottingham Trent University UKIP students attempted to form an official society for their party.

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"[96] and this sentiment was echoed by UKIP's Margot Parker MEP in a statement a few days later.

[98] 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.
