The School of Science & Technology

The School of Science and Technology at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) is one of the few places in the UK where you can study core sciences alongside innovative areas like computing and technology, forensics, sport and biomedical sciences.

Our undergraduate and postgraduate courses are inspiring and innovative and are designed to be industrially relevant, for a wide range of careers or futures in research and academia.

Placements

We offers year long, paid placements at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. This invaluable opportunity will allow you to gain vital work experience in your chosen field and enhance your employability upon graduation. We have over 260 industrial partners for industry placements, including Microsoft, ARM, GlaxoSmithKline, IBM, HP, Xerox, Siemens and Experian.

Employability

In this stimulating and creative environment we equip students with the knowledge and transferable skills to put them ahead of the graduate crowd. 94% of our graduates* are employed or engaged in further study within six months of leaving NTU. * Of those available for work, HESA survey 2009-10.

State-of-the-art facilities

The modern surroundings of NTUs Clifton campus, hosts a range of first class facilities, equipment and technology supporting leading edge research and high quality courses, including:

  • an a British Olympic Association-approved environmental chamber
  • a sports science motion-analysis suite
  • a brand new crime scene house, forensic-training facility
  • an on-campus observatory with a 20-inch Newtonian telescope
  • the Rosalind Franklin building which features high-specification laboratories, including a large multi-use lab which allows up to 200 students to work simultaneously.

The Universities facilities are rated so highly they have been selected as a training camp for the London 2012 Olympics.

World Class Research

Our extensive links with industry, coupled with the relevance of our research specialisms ensure that many projects benefit from external funding from highly respected sources. This has included £7.65 million for cancer research from the John and Lucille van Geest Foundation, £1 million for ground-breaking 3D security imaging research and a rare funding boost from the US for spider-silk fusion research.

Nottingham is a fantastic city to study and graduate in as a scientist as 1 in 5 jobs in the city is within the science sector.

MSc Biotechnology - Nottingham Trent University

The School of Science & Technology Student

Graduate profile
Amrita Shenoy

"By the time I had completed my undergraduate studies, I was on the lookout for a masters programme. I came across many areas that kindled my enthusiasm. I wanted to know more about cloning, making transgenic animals and gene therapy. The biotechnology course offered at the School of Science and Technology at Nottingham Trent University perfectly consisted of what I wanted to learn about the subject.

"The modules that the programme offered were immensely informative and provided an insight about biotechnological potentials. It allowed us as students to understand the aspects of biotechnology that conventional research had overlooked. At the University, you are exposed to the latest in biotechnology, work in sophisticated laboratories under the guidance of eminent professors and doctors, and have the international standards of teaching and research.

"Studying at NTU has opened new doors and opportunities to me while the friendly professor-student relations have an invigorating impact that encourages us to perform better in our academic study. I would be extremely happy to gain the opportunity to study a PhD programme that would help me research stem cells and then later become a lecturer in my field in a university as reputed as ours."
