About NTSU
Nottingham Trent Students’ Union (NTSU) is a separate organisation to NTU. We run all kinds of extracurricular stuff, including social events, fun activities, and personal development opportunities. We're also your official representative body, so we can help you make changes to your student experience and give you free, impartial support and advice if and when you need it.
In short, we're here to make your time at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) the best it can be.
Our Mission Statement
“We empower students to make NTU the best academic and personal experiences for themselves and others. NTSU is a democratic, but non-political organisation.”
Our Core Values
Through NTSU, you can get involved in almost anything while you're at uni. We have a variety of activities for you to get stuck into and a place for you to meet with friends on your campus.
Student Groups & Societies
We help organise student communities so you can meet people who share your interests and values through student societies.
Over 100 Societies at NTSU
We have over 100 societies at NTSU. Being a part of a society is an excellent opportunity to meet new people, try something new, and have fun. Students who join societies consistently tell us it's one of their favourite things about being an NTU student. Join a society if you want to meet new people with similar interests to you and make lifelong friends and memories.
Advice from Other Students
We asked other international students for advice to share with you. Here's what they said:
- “Join a society! There are many international societies that will help you make friends!”
- “The SU services are really helpful if you need extra support with your studies.”
- “Try new things. Other people are too focused on their own goals and lives to care about what you do. University goes so quickly, so don’t miss out.”
- “Join a culture society and visit the Global Lounge.”
- “Learning and discovery is part of the journey.”
Your Spaces on Campus
NTSU has a dedicated building on City, Clifton, and Brackenhurst campuses. If you're studying on one of these campuses, we have a space where you can grab a bite to eat, meet friends for a coffee, or find a place to study.
All of our buildings have a fully licenced bar, a diner, coffee shop, and more.
